The day i found it at the dealer, love at first site. Stood out like a sore thumb in my eyes.
9k fully spec'd, not a bad price considering it was 20k 2 years ago.

I took the car up to chestergate and took some better pix with the HID's fitted

---------------

Thats all for now, i will post up all updates.

As of today 10.02.09 the plans are ..

Exterior wise:

French pressed plates
Bonnet Bra
Alloy wheel refurb in gloss black / anthercite
Lower it some more
Paint the calipers red and the 'brembo' logo in white

Perfomance wise :

S2 remap, looking around 270 bhp on stock internals
Blue flame cat back system
Decat bypass pipe
4 Branch manifold
Forge dump valve
Ram air induction kit

My plans change alot though, so like i said them plans are as of now - dont be suprised if the car ends up alot different,

Thanks for looking.
Ant.

Small update, had a little bit of ICE installed in the boot, more for quality than loudness.

1 x Alpine Type S 12'' SUB
1 x Ground Zero 2 channel amp
1 x 4 guage wiring kit with 150 amp tripper

all linked to my dvd headunit makes a nice ICE setup

Oh i also popped it back in for a different sort of cold cathod tube to be installed, as the LED's they installed in my parcel shelf to light up the install looked tacky, i just did this for cruises and such, and i know it wont be to everyones taste lol!

im stil debating wether or not to have it relocated above the amp to neaten it up a little, but i dont want them drilling holes in my parcel shelf lol.
