Hey, just showing some of the first steps that I've done so far, some might have seen it in my Intro thread, but here is for everyone else!
I had to start by putting in my speakers and head unit, I've also just recently tinted the tail lights which took awhile but the results are better than I expected,
I also have a Twin Dump exhaust tip waiting to be welded on, should hopefully get sum pic's of that on this week or the next.
Here's some pic's

Next on the list is to a gas installment to save some fuel costs, and after the rebate get 19" BF F6 Typhoon Wheels
Image
When I get to that stage then I should have a few more ideas on what to do. :grin:

Hey all! just giving some updates on small modifications I've made, The twin dump tip is now on, as well as the front being slightly lowered by 150mm when the front shocks and coils where replaced due to wear and tear, I have also done some touch ups on the paintwork where there was some fade, it brought the color out quite a bit for a more red appearance, but there is still more to do on the doors(ran out of PAINT REPAIR!) :glare: and boosted stickers are now on as well :grin: if anyone has any ideas on small jobs to make it look even better please share your ideas, i would be happy hear from any input aswell :grin: Here is some pics of what it looks like now with the small changes

Cheers mate, Well my uncle noticed it had a bit of fade on the boot and other places, and gave me a bottle of "Sonax" Paintwork Cleaner(some old stuff lying round) and told me to have a crack at it on the car, Bam! and the color is back? soo yea im pretty sure there can be some other polish and paint repair stuff at Auto-barn or sumthing, gotta look into it :)

color coded front and rear bumper inserts + tinted side repeaters would make a world of difference mate. looks like a nice clean ride at this point though!

i personally wouldn't colour match the bumper inserts. Have a look at an EL, looks plain. I'm putting the black line on my EL :D

Yeah finally a decent set of plates.. 1+. Gotta love a red e-series on typhoons but I may be a tad bias there haha. I've always thought red needs something up the side though to break it up, Im still a bit undecided on what to do with mine. I thought about doing away with anything but I think it needs something along the doors.

Haha cheers mate! I sort of know what you mean by 'break it up' it is a little plain but i like it that way at the moment, and i can thank you for the look of the typhoons, ever since i saw them i was like "Shit Chyeahhhh! Im so getting those wheels!!!!" :P

hey guys and gals just another update, had a thought for interior mods, was gonna paint some sections of the dash, door plastic a darker grey/maybe black buuut got to an idea for lights instead, i've replaced the auto-lamp with a blue LED strip and blue dash lights, eventually other air-con lights will be blue too when i can be bothered :P
most might have seen this before but its new to me :)

cheers more updates to come soon hopefully!
