Phase 2 mods will stretch to HIN 2005. Collected my last piece of hardware today (Thanks Roy! ;) ). Now the process of putting those still in kit form together :cool:

First of all thumbs up top Fas for the exchange and boot filler ;) Rear strut from Cosmo Racing, ACS rep.

Titanium 2 interior trim and Infinity Basslink ;) . The lighter trims really add to the contrast of my dark interior, much better than the original Tatinium Shadow.

(I thought I be a bit arty-farty with black and white pic....didn't turn out too bad) And before you question, no the paint job is flawless [ok

Finally sorted out my Bluetooth kit. Now everything is working as it should ;)

Quality of the StopTechs is on par with Brembo. Better finish than AP Racing from my past experience. 355x32mm with 4-pot calipers front and rear :D

Nah, HIN girls like rubbing themselves on convertibles only....right Digs/Fas?? :D

[Ali]

I actually think that any leather seat will do...

Gonna bring my saloon... more space for them in the back! ;)

Can't wait to see the mods nick!

[ANT MAN]

Man, those brakes look amazing. Your eyes are going to come out :D

That lighter trim goes really well with the ACS bits [cool

Is the rear brace fixed or quick release? Either way you should still get a suitcase in the boot with the bass link removed.

Phase 3, I bet that's a CAI and remap. ;)

[peppernick]

Is the rear brace fixed or quick release?
It's just like the front strut. You need to unscrew the 2 bolts at each end to remove the strut. 5 min job.

[Tin]

very nice nick! seen the front grill and red drilled/brakes somewhere hmm... :D [cool

[Mits]

Looking good Nick, cant wait to see the brakes on the car.

Do like that grill, where do the ducts feed to?? [hmm
Is that grill a DIY fitment?

[peppernick]

The ducts can be joined to the OEM brake ducts, but will take some cutting. Even if they won't work as intended, still looks smash ass [cool

Got to remove bumper to fit it.

[Mits]

mmmm ok. It looks good Nick....I might have to consider this too :D
Where from, how much...might wait to see how difficult it is to fit first though.

[KELKIN]

As always top quality components, the finish on the calipers looks superb,rotors look awesome-you can see that if you take your sunglasses off :cool:

Got to remove bumper to fit it.

removing the bumper shouldn't be too difficult, have done it a few times on my car, front wheel arch liners, bottom undertray and then 2xtorx 50 bolts just eitherside the no plate, slide off (2 folks easier), disconnect headlight washer tubing/foglights etc..

Does look very good mate, car is gonna look/perform top! [ok

[peppernick]

perform top
Can't say that with me behind the wheel :o :o ....OK got to practise....Santa Pod in the summer :cool:

I will install the grill together with my CSL Splitters (package located, awaiting delivery :cool: ). Bumper out job.
