My 2011 170CR FR

Decided to make a build thread, just so I can keep track of the changes I've made to my car lol but feel free to follow and comment

This was how I bought the car back in march.




Firstly I fitted a flyeye kit to my rear lights. And reflectors.


I also bought some black side repeaters but wasn't 100% happy with the quality but I FlyEyed them aswel and they look much better now


I then decided to wrap my rear badge/boot handle.


Having darkened up the back end with the FlyEyes and vinyl, I thought the chrome leon looked out of place so I decided to Debadge it.


I then fitted some front LED side lights which look a lot better and have still not got any errors



Yesterday I decided to paint the front grill chrome surround. I also wrapped the front seat badge black

I should have another FlyEyes kit being delivered this week to do the fronts.

As you can see I'm going for a white and black theme.

My next thing to do is fit my Eibach Spotlines lowering springs but struggling to find the time. I've also got a HID kit coming hopefully next week. After it's lowered It will be time to get some 18" alloys and also a triple r splitter

Cheers

Looks good mate.

Be interested in how you get on fly-eyeing the headlights. I tried and failed, so want to remove them to do a proper job.

Cheers pal

Should be doing them Friday so I'll let you know how I get on

FlyEyes kit has just arrived and I'm currently painting my wing mirror covers as they are stone chipped

FlyEyes kit fitted to the front lights. Took me 30 mins as I didn't remove the lights themselves. Don't think I could have got it any better by taking them off to be honest

One side done.


All finished

Finished spraying my wing mirror covers and what a difference it's made.
Before.

After.




Think that's enough for today

Managed to get the car up on the lift at work today to prepare for fitting my sportlines on Friday.
Sprayed all the nuts and bolts that will need to be removed with a rust penetrating oil. Hopefully This means I won't shear or round off any bolts!

Fitting my sportlines on Friday so I'll post some pics of when they are on.

Sportlines are finally on the car and couldn't be happier the springs will settle in a few days so should have some better pics but here are a few pics of before, during and after.

Fronts before

Rears before

Rears all done, literally took 5 mins in each side.

Removing the old spring assembly.

Spring assembly complete with sportlines being installed.

Fronts after

Rears after

How she's sitting at the moment.


Expecting another 5mm drop at least over the weekend as the springs settle
I'll post some more pics once I feel the cars sitting right

Not really mate, I was expecting the worst but it wasn't that bad at all get yours fitted....makes a massive difference to how the car looks

Fronts have dropped another 15mm over night!

And the rears have dropped a further 10mm

Cheers mate
Yeh some 18's are next on the list

Washed today so can show off how she's sitting now that they have settled

I'm happy with it mate, any lower and the wishbones would scrape on those annoying speed bumps. It feels exactly like the stock springs in the way of comfort. Handling feels better when cornering
