Well thought now I have actually got something to show I should post up a topic. I was going for the very subtle mods on this car, mainly audio (SQ) focused and maybe few performance bits at later date so here's what I've got so far:

-Painted callipers (rust colour didn't match)
-Removed few badges
-Full Sonic punch plus SQ setup by Sonic Frontiers
-Sonic Frontiers OEM style boot build
-Fitted mats (although driver side one has gone abit tatty all ready)
-K&N panel filter

Doors before:

As for future plans, got few ideas on the audio side (Few additions/changes on equipment, A pillar & Door build plus maybe a custom fascia) wanna do something with the wheels (either refurb or change) and remap (may change intake first though)

Thanks
Shane
 
looks really smart mate really like the idea of the stealth covers in the boot :icon_thumright:
 
Cheers mate, they were done as a method of protection when carrying stuff more than anything
 
That looks the nuts mate. If you dont mind me asking, what did the book install set you back?
 
Including all equipment and build just under 4k. Boot build was about £950

Thanks
Shane
 
Cheers, may put up the build pics in the I.C.E. section if anyones interested :)

Also got some SF show plates made:

Made some decisions finally, so final plans will be:
-Remap and possibly fix few bits
-May try out some intakes
-Lowering springs (leaning towards h&r or eibach)
-Genesis dual mono and cabling/fuses
-Upgrade battery earth to 0awg
-Dubmeister pressed plates
-Then some install changes for next season but more revealed at the time
 
Haven't had an update for ages, not much done that's pic worthy spent alot of time and money sorting out problems (crank breather pipe, cv boot, cambelt change, full service inc plugs and fuel pressure sensor) but while it was in the 2 garages decided to have a forge turbo hose kit fitted and a remap :D not sure on figures yet as tyres kept slipping on rollers so gunna have another go soon with some heat in them and hopefully get print out. Not masses left to do now and have basically narrowed down the last few mods but they will be done as and when (most likely next year as need to save for a while)

Will get some better pics up soon.
 
Shane nice car mate.Could you take a picture of a side view of your car cause its very similar to mine and i am thinkin about getting my windows tinted and would like to see what it looks like before i go ahead with it..
Cheers
