This sort of crap:



Is that paint on the exhaust heatproof? Longlife painted my backbox with normal satin black when I had it fitted and it turned white with the heat within a month or so!

plan for the 9js have fell through

just waiting on someone to get back to me on some 3pc splits, if not then just keeping the Modernlines but going for one solid colour not polished dishes (even though they took me about 25hours to refurb and polish the dishes by hand)

interior shot: (matte black centre console, grip tape and drift button)



numberplates back on for the mot (front plate is tied on with string haha)





covered the bumper reflectors with black (matte ish) vinyl (so i can remove it if i change my mind)

also after the pics were taken i stuck the 10mm spacers on all round which has made a decent difference, but still need to think exactly what look i want for the car..
