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 .

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

Image

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

Image



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

Image


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

Image


A pic of me car in the winter

Image


Carbon interior bits

Image

Image


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

Image

Image


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?
