Right I managed to spray my rear bar and c pillar trims black yesterday so I thought that was a good enough excuse to take some more pictures. Sorry they didn't turn out that well the sun was not where I wanted it








Looks quite low here:



And a picture I had to take to justify that I need some 20mm spacers for my birthday off the missus.


Hope you all like

Been a while since I've updated this and I've done a fair bit. So what I've done since is......

Wheels are now silver after kerbing them to hell and fancying a change
Front wheels are spaced out a total of 32mm (16 either side)
Rear wheels are spaced out a total of 60mm ( you get the idea)
Drilled and grooved disc's front and rear with mintex pads
New front droplinks
Eyebrows removed
Rear strip and C pillar trims sprayed gloss black
Mirrors colour coded
Vectra C intake pipe

I think thats it anyways pic's, sorry they are of poor quality haven't had time to take some decent photo's. I'll try and do a mini timeline since my last update.


New pipe


rear spacer


All spaced out


New rear sprayed


New brakes


New wheel colour


Overall, camber makes the car look high.

I've also purchased a prodrive bumper that I am currently smoothing and will hopefully have sprayed and fitted soon. Got a picture of a quick test fit.


I think that's everything. I'll get some proper photo's soon but currently plans are:
Maybe change the colour of the wheels again (I'm fickle when it comes to wheel colour)
Paint the brake calipers red
Irmscher rear spats (maybe in black)
Evo 8 style sideskirt extensions that I plan to make
Homemade or lcr splitter for the prodrive bumper
Stainless exhaust manifold and 200 cell sports cat
3.5 inch outward rolled backbox
Remap
Red silicone hoses in the engine bay
Paint engine bay plastics silver
Big maybe on red seatbelts

Enjoy.


Comments welcome

Update time :

Finally got the prodrive bumper smoothed, sprayed and fitted. It may need a tweak here and there to reduce the panel gap but I'm well chuffed with it. All I have to do is mount the numberplate properly so I can remove it for shows along with it looking good day to day.





The alloys will be resprayed soon as I've done a crap job on them. After that I have a rather large list.

Red brake calipers
Floor mats with red edging or whatever it is.
New gear stick gaiter with red stitching (can you see the pattern yet)
Red silicone pipes in the engine bay
Spray the airbox and fusebox covers silver
6x4 inch oval backbox
Red seatbelts
Side skirt extensions (like you see on evo's)
Lcr splitter
Rear spats
A better numberplate for the front.

Someone please comment seems to be just me posting here.
