well the rain got the better of me and now it doesnt even look that clean... and only half done... just had a quick look through danmay's modifing page and have copied a mod lol :whistle:

pics will follow in about 2 hours when complete
 
well i am sorry for the terible picture quality but i will take some better 1s in the light... simple but effective i think... all i will probably do under the bonnet now is a chrome oil cap, maby a k&n filtera strut brace and a new S badge as i resprayed the black part

looks nice that mate, ill have a 04 fr front bumper with flushed bump strips for sale when i sell my wheels v v if you fancy it??
 
yea tints on a black car look nice....

my back tints are limo black and my front tints are 50%... leagal limit is 35% so a bit naught lol
 
I don't think the pictures are doing the engine+battery cover justice! Bet it looks much better in the flesh :thumbup:

If you're wanting a k&n, you'll either have to lose the engine cover, or modify it quite a lot... along with a bit of ducting for cold air feed etc.... if you wanted to go down the modified enigine cover route, a bmc cda filter would probly be better than a k&n!
other option is green panel filter + smooth inside the cover (removing of restrictive flaps etc)

Good work mate :)
 
yea i was only realy going to consider a panel filter... gt my wind deflectors today and they fit a treat and go well with the tinted windows... also got my new exhaust but has been a pig to fit.... think i will be getting it welded at collage this week but atm i am driving with a cut off back box lol so is getting plenty of attention

So you dont have a back box mate? how loud is it? i was considering a mufflerectomy with a de centre silencer too!
 
its nt to loud tbh ... lot quiete than i expected... what i would say tho is i think there may possible be some loss in back pressure as when over taking dint feel to pokey.... and in my last car when the same thing happened my mpg went from 40 to about 25... nt noticed a difference in this yet tho
 
erm yea... for general driving there fine but if im looking for a house number or such i have to put the window down to see properly
