fletty Member 191 Member For: 12y 10m 4d Gender: Male Posted 24/06/12 11:05 AM Share Posted 24/06/12 11:05 AM Hey EveryoneThought I would start a new thread which I will continue to use as a build/update thread.Car has finally ticked over 1000k's so I have started to get a few minor mods started First day involved an intense detail, Wasn't impressed with the job my local dealer did with pre-delivery. It was hard not to get straight in and start changing things but I knew I should just leave it at least 24hrs as a standard car.Second day..Blocked BOV ( Wasn't overly loud so drilled out 10mm hole, Much more vvssshhhh tututu's )4" Aluminum Muffler Cone Replacement PipeBegan installing KPM Intake but due to fitment issues and frustration I gave up.Third day..King Springs SSL and SSSL. Perfect height I think, is practical, Have not had any issues with scraping *Yet* ! I have no intention of replacing the shocks at the moment, Im going to wait for more power and see how I go for traction?Following Weekend..Sort out KPM Intake and fit properly.I Have then just done a few small things, Replaced Dealer number plate surrounds with some clear perspex ones, More layers of wax and cleaning of minor marks and imperfections. Removed Rear Spoiler, Im still decided what I want to do there? Thoughts? Something slim line..Here is some pics. Enjoy.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark tint, black wheels with some dish, along with the black insert in the bar, awesome look IMO. Intake looks killer too, massive hahaHave you looked at the bobtail for spoilers? Personally think they look like crap and too chunky. Whereas G6E lip spoiler is perfect, get the holes covered and painted, get the lip spoiler on and looks schweet!

A G6ET/GTE rear lip spoiler would set it off just nicely, as well debadging of the boot and doorsDid the KPM/FPV intake make much of a difference power and noise wise? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice clean semi-stock looking, would make it look like an M or AMG style version if you know what I mean. Upmarket but sportier than G6E style sort of. If you're gonna go black or dark wheels, wait and see how it looks, could change the overall package if all that makes sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it without the boot spoiler, keeping wheels or upgrading to 20s? Paint them black the stockies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is very throaty, matched with the 4" intake pipe there is a decent amount of spool. If anything throttle response did improve, but my car is still new its hard to tell if its a gain or its just getting broken in.Thanks for all the positive comments, I am thinking of painting those stock 19's a dark gunmental with a heap of metallic pearl through them OR Varrstoens or something alone those lines but going completely out their and painting them something fluro..I have seen the bobtail spoilers on eBay which cover the existing holes which I think are a good idea, but im not sold on them. I will more than like just go a G6E spoiler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs the Spoiler holes filled or G6E spoiler like mentioned before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
