BeforeAfter
While going for a fresh look with the new rims, decided to spray the rear-lip center black for diffuser look.

February has come

These arrived in the mail.

In the mean time

While I'm are waiting for the tyres to arrive with the help of a friend, we modified the stock airbox & created a custom 3A Racing Short-Ram-Intake. Throttle response is now improved & added a few extra kW.

1st Photoshoot

Ofcourse after kit is installed, car is looking a lot meaner. It also means time for a photoshoot.




Time for DIY

It is now end of July, good news is kit is painted. However bad news is my installer "attempted" to install my Mugen lip-kit & declared job was too hard. I have no choice but to take my kit home & DIY install.

With the assistance with friends, we managed to install the kit in 1 day & 1 afternoon.

Day 1
Rear lip is installed with Sikaflex & screws for additional support. Jacks used to hold lip in position while Sikaflex glue dries.

Day 2
In one afternoon called friends over & DIY'd drilling & installation of front lip, side skirts & Mugen Wing

Mugen kit is now installed. End of May 2008.

The waiting game

Another 3 months has passed, kit is still in Workshop waiting to be painted & installed. I keep hearing excuses that the panel beater is too busy & will get it done next week.

Mugen

After 3 months of waiting the Mugen kit that I've ordered has arrived.

Once painted & installed will resemble something like this:
