Few pics after a few mods and a clean from all this bastard salt on the roads (i know it melts ice and saves lives but it makes me wish i had a silver car!)

Omex sequential shift light now working (Had loose connection after remote engine start was fitted and i never got round to fixing it)

Back end with new sublte exhaust (used to be 5 inch), punto wiper with mod and a de-badging. Re-fitted my own 'stealth badge' as it looked too plain and people assumed it was a Gti. Also a better pic of the half-tint rear lights.

BMC style carbon air box! Absolute bargain and makes a hell of a difference in response, pick up, engine and exhaust note, better fuel consumption! (my previous filter was taking in too much warm air and struggling to breathe at high revs) Love it, worthwhile purchase regardless of engine size! Blue scilicone to be changed for red soon!

Cold air intake for above filter.

And me being a tart and taking some nice pics, Enjoy and comments please.
 
that's my favourite SRi in the world, leave the eyebrows there I like them lol. Does the rocker cover need respraying or is it shit off the road thats splashed up on it?

coz a black r/cover would look ace I reckon.
 
Whats that bar underneath the bumper? Can we have a bether pic?

The whole car look Ace too mee :P I just don´t see the eyebrows fiting that grille. But thats up to the owner, looks really nice anyway! :D

Rocker cover is just covered in shit, its the same colour as my Toyota Starlet as a reminder to never spent that much money on a car again! Whole bay needs a clean and anything removeable and metal is going to be sprayed satin black soon.

Rhyd: The paint is all origional except the front bumper which is brand new (less than a year old) as those who will remember the 'mera was given a little love nudge by a Skoda Octavia estate after 3 months of ownership! Bodyshop did a fantastic job and even touched in all my stone chips for free!


The shine in these pics is courtesy of Meguiars Deep Crystal Stage 2 polish.

Not totally a ruled out a Gti for the next motor. keep seeing a nice P2 blue Gti on my way to work, and having images of a P2 on tein coilovers with lightweight rims and the holy grail of N/A 200bhp, so watch this space!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Same idea i think :rolleyes:
 
I was behind Damo yesterday, in the N16, & that exhaust has got a VERY nice sound to it, especially when he booted it off the roundabouts. :cool:

1st time I`ve actually seen it in person, & looks better than the pics.

that front lip makes the car 10x meaner

is the car garaged at night ?

Ha, no chance mate! You cant acutally fit the thing in my garage, none of my neighbors have their cars garaged and parking is a total pig. It was aparrently John prescott who designed my type of estate to encourage people to have less cars by making parking scarce. Well well done you fat prick as i work 11 hour days, my mum has a 3 year old and a part time job and the stepfather is an area manager and needs his car for work!

buy mine then and you'll not be far off. Sell what you dont want off the car, adjust the cam timing and there you go :cool:

A GTi redlines at 6925prm, the Sri less, so where does that figure come from?

Car`s looking good though........
