Impressive list of mods in such a short time Russ.

What is next?

Next thing is to install the KVC AVX1 head unit and CHX-1500 changer together with the Basslink if the bloke from here EVER gets back to me!

Wanted some interior stuff done but Rhon's blue leather is almost black:(

Need some mudguards and a spoiler but dont want to paint them so will wait for blue ones s:)

Wheels were £24.50 each plus £9.00 for tyres off, on, valves and balance.
Sounds like a total bargain and if the end result it good I wil share it with you.
I know Markiii was interested in finding out a bit more about them.
Will post some before and after pics tomorow if it ever stops raining!!

The 03 vents will make a big difference. I have them on mine (same colour as yours) and it shows the wheels off lovely......gonna look damn good on yours!

Very nice mate, though they don't look black, more dark grey metalic/anthracite , they really do suit the car might even think about doing this myself now s:D

Didnt want black mate, the black ones were too dark, this colour is called "metallic black" I didnt choose the name of the colour, I just liked it.
It has glittery stuff thorughout as well but you cant see that from the photos.

Like Nick says, the colour is more commonly known as anthracite!

I'd leave the side intakes unless you do the rest of the exterior plastics but definitly get lowering springs! dont worry about the bumps and such, you wont beach it!!

uktotty · July 22, 2007, 20:31

I asked the bloke for Anthracite, he guided me against the anthracite it didnt look right, I then looked at the black, it didnt look right, we then saw this darker charcoal type colour I said "I like that one" He saiid "that's Metalllic Black" So I chose that against the black, the silver or in fact the anthracite!

Did you have them powderoated Russ or just sprayed on mate?

uktotty · July 22, 2007, 22:40

Powder coated Si, he said that was the best bet.

Anonymous · July 22, 2007, 22:45

That's right mate. Powdercoating is your best bet against weather!

What did you mean by exterior plastics? As far as I know the side vents are the only exterior plastics I have which look out of place?

Rear bumper insert and the front bumper plastic mesh!

uktotty · July 23, 2007, 09:34

Got ya:), I have a Pelican Racing grille at the front and I am building a custom stainless laser cut grille for the rear as we speak.
