Back together at last

Post by westside » Thu Dec 06, 2012 8:13 pm

Right spent Wednesday putting the beast back together.  Car is now chip free and mint :-) needs another good wax but I havent had time.  Next up is the exhaust system.  We had to make a few chnages as in move the crusie control sensor back and trim the bottom of the rad shroud, and trim the textured fromnt wheel arches (i was having theses painted so no big issue.)  The car looks proper evil now and people seem to move out the way when its up behind them lol

Looking very good. All the hard work has paid off.  Black wheels looking very slick- got to get mine done methinks!

Too late, you've now donated that lot to charity. Have to buy a new winning ticket and just collect straight away.

Stunning paaji. Absolutely stunning. Front end looks superb and the VRS lip is slick.

Look forward to seeing what you get Raj to do on the exhaust.

NO NO NO NO.

In all the years I've known you, first time you've done the modding faux pas of adding eyebrows spoilers......NOOOOOOOO......LOL. I know they're only subtle but from years gone by it was just always a no no  :)
