(I know i have another thread in here, ignore that - thats the previous owners car, this thread is about what will become 'my car')Recently Ive been looking at my 2 and been thinking,
"its nice...but its not mine, I just paid for it" and certain aesthetic decisions made by the previous owner arnt biding well with me.They used to, but after owning the car for some months now its got to the stage where I put it through its MOT and sell up, or get down and dirty and sort her out.
The theory behind this
'rebuild / restyle' is to take it from a 'modified car' to a purposeful and poised and sports-car, a little less fast-and-furious!The first thing ive been wanting to change for a long time is the rear lights, the tinted rears just dont sit well with me any more, and if im being totally honest, never really did.
After going to the Blackpool meet last year and absolutely loving the look of the rear grille removed I decided to do the same, making the Bomex rear diffuser redundant and that got sold.
The Toms Snorkle has also been removed, I did toy with building a closed airbox and using this properly, but after quite a bit of deliberation it wasnt going to fit in with my plans and got removed and sold.

(man this weather produces some poo pictures!)Definately moving in the right direction
In the background ive been deciding what to do with this Veilside rear bumper, undoubtedly this is coming off, but what to replace it with.
...again after much thought, ive decided to go with the Toms Rear, should suit the clean lines of the toms skirts and border front bumper more. plus who wants a veilside. period. 
I also think the TRD rear spoiler is coming off, its a great spoiler dont get me wrong, but without the rest of the kit it looks a little too large, so on order is a standard rev 3 to go on.
In the mean time, ive had installed a triple
'eddy' pillar pod with depo racing gauges monitoring boost, oil temp, and oil pressure, although the temp and pressure gauges have stopped working, seems the wires at the sandwich plate have sheered off under driving (why would this happen?)
There will be far more updates, and this is just the start of something far larger.
