A little progress following my Scooby. Never done a thread like this before but with the Scooby I'm hoping I will actually have something to show at some point. It's not going to be updated that often as I spend a lot of time away and don't get as much chance to play with it as I really would like, but hey it pays the bills
So anyway a few pics of when I first picked it up in january this year
It has a Ninja 2 back box, turbo smart dump valve fog covers and tints, still pretty standard.
First thing I wanted to do was tint the rear window as for some reason the back 2 sides were already done. Maybe the last owner wanted to be able to see when he was reversing at night ;) If I ever get them redone I will have them Lighter so its not so much of a Limo/drug dealer look
the astra in the background is my trusty workhorse btw
First job on the list was the headlights, imo they looked a bit weedy. It's hard to explain but I didn't get along with them. So for the huge sum of £10 I purchased the supplies to go from this
to this
If anyones interested and wants a write up let me know but basically it involves sticking them in the oven
pulling them apart
painting them putting them back together. I fitted some chromed indicator bulbs so there is now no orange at all.
In the future I have thought about completely changing the layout of the lights just to be different but will have to wait and see and get my fire extinguisher topped up first. B)
Waiting to be fitted is a turbo back double decat de res centre with 3 different backboxes to choose from so I can get the sound just right
Future plans are
STI Rear Wing
Front Winglets
Front splitter
Alloys
Current alloys to be powder coated dark grey/charcoal and used as winter wheels
Head unit
Power mods to sub 300bhp
Be gentle...
