I see you got ur number plate same place as mine, does ur fan kick in more often now? Mine does ever since i placed it there.

Yeah it comes on at the shortest of journeys it's quite bad to be fair, while it's a bit hotter I'm going to see if I can get away with in my windscreen till winter kicks in again,

good idea. I was thinking of getting a JAP spec number plate made and somehow get it made to fit on the side grill but its gonna be hard as it will cover my fog lights .

something like this

Right guys i havent updated my thread since last year properly so heres what i been up to since last july

I lowered my car on weitec Hicon GT coilovers and slammed it on ats cups

The ATS cups were giving me all sorts of problems from rubbing to humming so i sold them and bought some lensos again and ran these all the way through the winter

At the same time i picked these up from a buddy in poland

I got them split and once i was done with the dishes this is how they came out

A pic of me car in the winter

Carbon interior bits

Bodywork sorted which includes bonnet extension, US Spec bumper strip, splitter and full front bumper resprayed, new wing, passenger side all sprayed, rear bumper sprayed, rear tailgait flushed

OZ turbos on with 2" dish on rear making them 7J fronts, 8J rear

Those OZ's look nice

But where did you get that rubstrip for the frontbumper without the licenseplate cutout?

Thanks dude

The rubstrip is standard and body shop filled it in for me.

Looking great dude!!

I'd recommend cutting the logos out of the air vents trims, like I've done here:

Looks alot cleaner!

Yeah ill be redoing the carbon bits again because some of is peeling off. Was well worth it for a first attemp. My mate is going to supply me with propper carbon fibre fabric (not cheap )
