Had the car a month now and finally got round to adding pictures and keeping track of everything thats done. The cars a 2.2 type s hope you enjoy

First day i ordered my skunk 2 gearknob, What a difference! If you dont get one, unlucky your missing out.

Once fitted:

1 week after owning the car i missed not being able to use my iphone so i ordered the parrot mki9200, and started to dismantle my new baby! heres some install picks!

wire fed into the arm rest and the screen sits to the left of the radio, no pics yet was scary taking it apart but thanks to the guide here is really a piece of cake!

Iv got future plans but for now thats my bank emptied :lol: will update with more updates as and when i get them done!

Best mod so far? Skunk2 without a doubt

Looking good mate,any other plans?

Thanks! Yea i got a few, hids, hekos, lowering and once the clutch goes iv got a uprated clutch fund. Playing with the idea of black wheels and gp splitters but not decided yet

 

[geemac]

This is only a small mod or rather rust removal :lol: i noticed the other day that there was the good old line of rust at the window edge, people seem to get resprays for this but who needs that when old trusty T-cut can come to the rescue!

Before:

After:

So if your warrenty wont cover just get some T-cut before you go all out respraying.

After this picture i also caked the area in auto glym polish, extra gloss and dodojuice wax to stop it coming back anytime soon.. hopefully :lol:

Nice car, mate.......here in Italy we can't have that colour, it's very good appearance.

Good work with parrot 9200, it's a good device and you will surely be satisfacted
If you'd like to make another "integration" work, you may take a look at my modification thread "modification of fk1 into R style", to see how I put parrot screen into the radio display.

Hope you will upgrade your car with more mods

Thanks! I looked at your project and its ace! Stuff youve done is mental! Dont think id have the balls to cut my dash to put the screen inside though

mate how could i not like that? its like looking out the window 6 months ago! if you take that nut off the bottom of your skunk it will screw down to the lower flange giving a shorter throw

 

[fat4y]

Ordered some 55w 6k Hids the other week and finally got round to fitting them... wiring of HID's is very easy... its just the space in the engine bay around the coolent tank is so small im surprised a bulb can fit let alone a hand! So i removed the coolent,lost it all and had to refil :lol: also dropped my we torch and it got stuck in my front bumper..8 broken clips at £1.25 each later it was out :lol: started at 11:30.. finished at 4:30 including a trip to honda and hombase for a drill bit. So much for it takes 1 hour to fit..

Heres how spawk stood before i began.. one headlight out and the other as bright as moodlighting within the car :lol:

Also fitted the 25 360o led sidelights and heres some comparisons
old and new!

Old headlights vs New headlights

And here is the night time death ray :lol:

I got worried they'd blind drivers after that photo so i parked my car up on my road and drove by it in my gf's car a few times and appart from looking awesome they dont blind people must just be my rubbish iphone camera! Cant wait untill thursday next week when im off up silly dark backroads again to really test them out!


Also added a nice we touch..
