    JT's Black 854

    Hi all,

    well I picked this up few weeks ago:


    and I have been busy getting it looking better, not great ( yet ), but better
    Cleaned it for a start! I managed to get a whole binbag's worth of rubbish out of it!

    I have resprayed the panels under the lights
    changed the front grill
    removed the moose,T5 and rica stickers
    emptied the catch tank (yuk)
    removed Boost gauge
    fitted a TC splitter
    lowered it 40mm
    put the titans on, only cos they have legal tyres on! lol
    and more importantly, added a sticker

    so it now looks like this:

    quick update......

    looked into a central locking issuse to find these in the doors



    so, in went the head unit


    and I have to say it sounds really good!!

    also fitted the R spoiler, but I'm not convinced its sitting quite right?



    and anyone have any views on the tinted windows??
    i'm not sure I like it?

    just needs a good clean now! lol

    The car is looking great and you must be pleased with how she's come on. When I first saw the tints, my initial reaction is that I like them. I'm buying merc85's gul 854 t-5r and have mentioned having that car tinted, but been strongly advised not to, to keep her original. However, yours is already tinted and I'd leave them IMO.

    Looks nice, R spoiler sets it up nicely from the rear and the Titans actually look nicer than the Volan's although that maybe just because the car is lowered and cleaner.. Not sure tbh, very nice though. Any other plans, other than removing the tints

    cheers
    no other plans for the outside,
    interior is fine apart from part of the dash, so its just the work under the bonnet left to do
