Silvertec front Indicator bulbs, smooths off the front without the amber look.

Spoon Lowering Springs
Bit dissappointed as it look's like it hasn't dropped at all but the handling has massively improved :thumbup:
A LOT less bumpy round the corners, just need a JDM RARB now


3 June 2007
After the group buy finally got round to fitting my HID's.
Really easy to do, if I didn't faff about would have taken under an hour easy. really impressed with the quality and night driving is much much easier. Definitely reccommend :thumbup:

Sneaky little Push Start, just a bit of fun really, came off my old car :thumbup:


5 June 2007
Carbon Fiber Manifold Cover, tidies up the engine bay a treat
Thanks to Donna

DC sports Titanium front upper strut brace.
thanks to nik, it's quality, bit of a pain to fit, with the air con and brake and clutch fluids, then the bracket from the fluids on the rocker cover and the scuttle panel.
Other than that it's Quality
Cheers Nik

A trip to RARE RIMS and I'm sorted with a set of 17'' Rota Torques in Bronze.
To relieve my sorry looking OEM wheels! Shod in Yokohama Parada's
Cheers to Julian, Matt, Arron and Darren




20 July 2007
After getting the HID's and Side lights my Fog lights were a little strange, so I decided to go for the 'JDM' look (or USDM)
removed the fog lights and covered with a thick yellow film!
I'm happy, just got to see them in the dark now!!


And for the proper USDM look


27 July 2007
Small little update, jazz washer jets fitted, easy as pie to do just a straight swap.
Gives a mist rather then 2 jet streams

Under grill, I used a grill from an 07 Civic Type R and 'retrofitted'.
hopefully it fits in with the main grill :thumbup:

smart

Looks nice mate. Not got your Boosts yet? Hurry up, I want to see some pics! Thinking about some Silvertecs myself, are they a pain to fit? Did you go through the wheel arch liner?

I know, think Julians got some new styles coming soon so just waiting to see what they're like!
Silvertecs are easy, through the wheel arch, pop 2 clips out!
makes it look much better IMO

Your car is looking good there, "VTi Stu"!!! :thumbup:

Some quality mods there :cooldude:

Was there any curb left after you attacked it ?

Looking good stu, will be better once you get the HID's in

Unfortunately all damage was done by the previous owner!
Slowly gettting it better, Wheels and HID's to come, hopefully some spoon springs too

some 1 has stollen your milano red paint mate

looking good, dont u find it annoying u cant Have both the clock and the radio station name ?

:thumbup: :thumbup:

YES

But I didn't like the old headunit, and the oem only cost me £25, plus I've got my Ipod in there, but for pioneer the screen is very poor

Stu your such a whore Now stop wasting money on the CTR & buy my Tv :salut:

EBAY
simply fits on the back of the headunit, then I fed the wires down to the centre compartment bit.
Cost £50

It's ok but a little quiet, and not sure if there's a way of getting round this!!

Looks good, not wasting any time cracking on with the mods!

I'm looking to get my ipod mini hooked up into the factory fit stereo, didn't realise there was some kind of input on the back of the headunit that allow this.

Don't expect anything fantastic. It's just plugging into the cd changer port. You wont get artist names etc and functionality will be awful.

I'd put the £50 towards a decent alpine unit.
