Haven't uploaded an update of my car for ages.
Since last pic,
- I've added Driftek 18"x9" with 235/45R
I did some minor styling changes to the original body as well.
- I've painted the outline of the rear lights black, to give the impression that the lights are thinner and slightly more aggresive.
- I've also modified the front bar by increasing the grill size by 1". I like the original facelift bar but it needed more aggression but still with some subtlety . originally I was going to buy the TS front bar from DStocks but decided not to because I wasn't fond of the lip thingy hanging off the sides and the cost of getting it over from NSW to here etc, cost/benefit analysis blah blah...
- Oh and I deleted the fog lights and added in a long ram intake pipe for my weapon-r intake
- I also shaved my stock air intake resonator so that it had a larger opening to get again, more air flow to the pod (did nothing to be honest)
- I also created brackets and stuck my number plates underneath the bar rather than over (personally think it looks neater)
As you can see, the front is a little matte, and that's because the clear coat was from a can rather than a compressor. this means i'll need some 1200-1500 grit sandpaper and will sand again before clear coating it again along with a cut and polish which i've booked in
