| Ok time to bring the project up to date as its been a while......first up the lights, I managed to get hold of a set of JDM units as spare n repair parts......was thinking to convert to HID but with the NBO drawing ever closer and so much more to do it was just the insert mod this time and in the oven they went...... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Once out they were painted black and I then set about masking the areas to be left, this was pretty time taking to get it right but I was want the light pods to get the custom look..... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Once done it was time to lay some pearl silver and give them a carbon look.....dipped and finished in high gloss.... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]They very subtle but a LED side light should bring them alive.....I hope lol ...also going to give the lens a polish up, Also the JDM grill got painted up, thought about doing something abit different to it but was in to minds so stuck with the matching colour and de badged.... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Down and Andy kindons HQ the ride height has been getting set and the brembos fitted along with the rear diffuser and the next lot of parts stripped to be dipped......I've decided not to slam it but to give it a slight nose heavy look with a even height from wheels to arches, this might change in the future but will give the coils time to set and see wot it's like on the roads and getting it on n off the drive ect.....few pictures of how it's sitting on the coils and wheels... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Looking at the brembos with these wheels and they got some much clearance they looking on the small side......hmmm future mod lol | |

- Ok today wasn't to bad but am not a 100% happy with the pipes......the black in the pattern doesn't seem to coat perfect? It lays flat dips well but the finish hmmm it's either an activator issue....it doesn't like to lay on the pure lesonal n silver I layed over the yellow....or the fact that on a pipe the pattern is stretching all the time to wrap around the shape? Any way they done and and will have to do for now, if I had the time to re do I think I would try to over come it by changing some of the above......
But the idea to inject some colour and effect in the engine bay [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Also finished the lights of with a re-vamp of the lens to show off the effect...

Off till Monday now but the mind is ticking on the parts still left to be done....
Stay tuned.... | |

| Like Stick says the pipes are wicked. And if you blow the pic of the lights up on screen there is some weird witchy hall of mirrors shit going on with your reflection. Freaky dude. | |

| Ok peeps looks like am working right up to Saturday to get it finished and then it needs a polish lol fooked ain't the word, so the engine bay is under wraps till complete, few jobs that's been going on are a whole lot of stripping n dipping and re fitting from the good man ANDY KINDON......hats off again to you mate .......so it's been lowered even more as it just didn't look right, still wasn't happy so I've added spacers to the rear to bring them out that touch more ......wind visors fitted......piaa horns painted and stickered up.......centre caps painted and custom badges fitted......new head unit and door speakers fitted......and the engine bay just needing the finishing touches......for now a few pics of the car......after 4 months of not driving it I taxed it yesterday and brought it back to hydrotek HQ.....and it rained lol [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Nearly NBO time ;0) | |
