Hotchkis rear control arms

Milltek cat back exhaust with black MBRP tips

Flat black vinyl wrapped head/tail light rights

ECS Black Line Tail Lights

The hood isn't really debadged. The emblem is off right now, but I used a bit of photoshop to cover up the holes for the sake of the picture. lol. I'm going to order a new hood emblem soon.

I spent some money.

 

Ditched the run-flats for a set of Pole Positions, relegated the stock wheels to winter use and replaced them with Team Dynamics, added JCW front brakes, added an Alta rear sway bar, and Koni FSDs all around. Pulled the pins on the tops of the front strut towers to get a bit more negative camber. And then I added a JB+.

 

This car is waaaaaay too much fun. The handling is unbelievable, and the ride is dramatically improved. And the power boost is nice too.

Replaced crank pulley/damper with ATI 0% and front crank seal... pretty easy job when you have the right tools (thank you Detroit Tuned for the rental). 

Very happy to have the R53 running again :) 

Detroit Tuned rents tools? I had no idea

 

Glad you got it fixed

The dechromed headlight rings on the newer cars really cleans up the lines!  Nice work!

I dechromed most of my R53... headlight rings, door pulls and the big chrome items went to dry-look CF vinyl in a medium grey.  Other bits got paint (vents, headlight interiors and tail light interior trim)

Decided to play with some interior designs today. Snow rolled in before I could put them in. I will add photos of them installed once the snow stops. 

I used the street map of London for the roads. The girl was not there in the original concept, but my cutter apparently had a drop of data and left a blank strip. So I try to play on the pinup I put on the “A” panel already.

I didn't realize what city it was when I first saw this. What a neat idea! Was it tricky to apply the vinyl to the panel?

It wasn’t to bad for the face it is a simple curve vertically. Then heat is you friend for all the curves on the edges. 

Weeding it all was the biggest pain took about 3 hours for all of it.
