Right I finally got round to finishing off a few bits on the car

Basically for those who don’t know, the car is a 1.4 SRI 8v, came standard

Interior

Seat cover to cover over that poker dot stuff
Re-trimmed door cards and shelf in black
Chrome window winders, door pins, door handles, pedals, dial surround.
Sprayed the heater knobs and glovebox handle with a chrome spray, also changed the red marks in the clocks so they are now chrome.
Blue LED dash and mfd lights
Blue LED footwell tubes
Richbrook steering wheel
New mats

ICE

Clifford Avital maxx alarm – Pager – remote start
Pioneer deh-p80mp
JBL 6 channel amp running on 3 channels
Vibe Sak 60, 17cm front comps
JBL 12”Sub

Exterior

De-striped
De-badged
DTM mirrors
Black lexus rear lights
Smoke side repeaters (apparently)
White LED side lights
17”100+ with kuhmo tyres
Lowered 40mm on G-max springs and dampers
Tarted up the engine bay a bit

Performance wise I have only fitted a PiperX Viper so far

Thats looking pretty smart mate imo, the plates and lexus lights are the major down points, and maybe tbh the wheels are slightly too big, but it looks like a really tidy car that you have done up well

any one got any ideas on what to do with the back.

baring in mind, planes are to put on,
combat sideskirts, vectra gsi front,

also getting a exhaust is a major issue at the minute, after a oval or some twin pipes, so if anyone has one for sale u2u
