Haven't done an update in a while with moving and work so gave her a clean yesterday/today so thought it might be a good time for an update.
Owned the car for nearly 18 months now and i still love it even being standard performance wise.
Still a couple of things doing to get it where i want.
Anywhoo here is where she stands at the moment

Biggest update is the wheel refurb.
Had them firstly undercoated in black then lightly sprayed Vauxhall Anthracite with a glossy clear coat.

Next up was a new RCD51o with centre console wrapped piano black

So this is how she stands now. Very please with the look, was exactly what i was going for and i like the 'Dark' theme.

Rear badge changed the piano black instead of the carbon effect
(In desperate need of r32 rear lights)

.
Thats all all i have left to do for me to be 100% with it now is.
1) Light window tints
2) R32 rear lights
3) Hubs/calipers refurbed
4) Front grill wrapped Matt Black
5) Open front fog grills
6) Xenon stlye front lights (Maybe)
Dont want to do much more than that as i am waiting for the R, Ed35 or TTS to come into budget and i will change.
Hope you like
