Cammed
Remapped
Lowered
Showcage
Alloys refurbed
Smoked headlights
Straight threw stainless de-cat exhaust

Loads more mods to be done but cant decide what to do next apart from new drilled and grooved discs all round and new pads

the engine bay looks ok but i think it would look better yellow to match the rims and calipers and a good clean!

If yellow's your theme then go for it! You can get some decent lumi yellow paint from b&q if you want to go as bright as your tape

And just whack some wd-40 on the engine bay, used it on mine and it comes out a treat.. and you can use it on basically everything without destroying it haha.

Looks really nice, im loving the yellow rim tape, so much so that I might do in that direction on my cyclones.

I agree with the engine bay colour change and if it was my car I would get a raceland to replace that air filter.

I actually like this alot! Exhaust is a tad on the large side though lol

oh cool i will have to take a trip to b&q then. I wouldnt say yellow is my choice of colour but the calipers was that colour when i got it but i think its diffrent and stands out but i think it looks good.

i even thought about doing the showcage a yellow that isnt too bright so it stands out more but that idea changed and done it silver

What about the show cage black? You have black bits on the exterior/wheels etc so would still look good I think

and you can match it up to a black interior (roof lining, centre console, vents etc) I mean like gloss/satin black, not the weird standard black btw

i dont know what to do yet i will see what takes my fancy after a few other bits have been done

stevo1600 · 13th January 2012, 10:42

looking very nice mate

especially like the rim tape idea and colour of the s rims

wd-40 really works well in the bay, could go yellow cam cover and get a yellow induction hose. would look megga tbh.

its screaming for a 4-1 manifold though

Amp wiring through the door, like a pr0 (H)

Also 1 blue headlight and the other not

Also why's there only 1 brake pipe going to the MC?

Leave it as it is, it looks subtle, mine is anthracite in a maurituis blue saxo and you can hardly notice it

Just noticed the rim tape on the front passenger side wheel doesn't seem to go around the circumference of the wheel properly
