    Bit of a tidy up.

    Pretty much as title really, a few pictures of before and after to make her look a bit better before I have enough spare funds to carry out full respray.

    Changing the roof spoiler from factory colour to black and applying some satin black to trim has really lifted the car's appearance. Hopefully in the near future I will post some more showing a few mod's in the pipeline







    This was grotty underneath gave it a good clean while spoiler was off.



    Treated to new bolts as well!

    Thanks, it has a few spots of rust showing from stone chips and a dinged nsr door but nothing serious, Did you take yours to Le mans a few years back as I remember seeing one out there in the omega colours, I am seriously tempted to wrap this one in the same.

    Your car looks the part love it!

    Satin black? Sounds like a good idea, my trim is going funny shades of grey and covered with swirl marks and scuffs. Nothing to do with me of course.

    Looks smart, didn't realise you could still get the spoiler fixing kit, or did you make up new ones yourself?

    Maybe its just the estates they're available for then, I'm sure the saloon ones are discontinued.
