As the lads on the other place are aware I have had a few items done to the car recently.  Richie had been hassling me for pics and I got the car valeted today and then it decided to snow, so before I had to drive home through the slush I did an impromptu photoshoot in the car park at work.  More pics to follow.

So, since the last pics I took of the car, I’ve had the following installed;

CCFL Angel Eyes
Pentagon Supaglass Smoke Tints
Eibach Pro-kit springs
UUC SSK & DSSR

This was a before pic;



And here it is now;




The drop with these springs is relatively subtle (.6” at the front and .9” at the rear) but in the flesh it makes a huge difference.  I don’t really want any more because I live in an area that’s not friendly to lowered cars.

The wheels really fill the arches now;



Especially at the rear;



The stance of the car is much improved and the tints are totally pimpin :o;







Not much to show on the SSK so heres a totally gratuitous interior shot (trained eyes will note the shifter is not as spindly);  Gives an idea of the tint level though.



Another gratuitous interior shot.  I’m thinking of changing the interior trim since I’m bored with the matt titanium.  Am thinking about either black or silver carbon fibre



I started trying to be artistic then, experimenting with different exposures and **** with mixed results although I love the next two pics for some reason; I think it’s the blue tones in the carbon black coming through;




Then I started really losing the plot!  Although I might do a sepia shot for a signature pic of some sort;




Oh and just to prove what a **** I am, look what I had been driving around on for god knows how long!!!!  The one on the right is the OEM drivers side rear spring J





Coming Soon

Eisenmann Le Mans Backbox
Gruppe M Replica Carbon induction kit
Interior Trim (help me!!!!!!)

Really is a stonking motor you have Mick, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Now as for your future mods, i think you should go for c/f everywhere i.e. interior trim, CSL bootlid, rear diffuser, then you can add the CSL front bumber......sweet.

By the way, think you need one of these to keep the SSK company!
