Stuie's Black R27

[deadmau5]

Yeah I'm not surprised. Any plans to get new suspension? I assume you're running standard cup shocks and springs?

 

[stuieplk]

I'd love some fully adjustable coil overs, I don't see the benefit of the the cheaper sets over the cup setup apart from looks. The car coped well beyond my limits anyway mate so I'm not overly fussed as I don't think I would see the benefits of £2000 - £3000 worth of suspension.

It's because I had some crazy cat who knew a bit about detailing helping me, I'm a bucket and sponge kinda guy.

can you give me a link to the parts used for your header tank relocation please?

It's been a while, done a few things to the car the last few months. Got a full aero kit 2nd hand off eBay, had them all sprayed up gloss black as I hate the plastic look. Sprayed the interior plastics gloss black. Fitted a HID headlight kit, full interior LEDs, had all the interior dash lighting etc changed to white instead of the grim orange (thanks colt) Also fitted some h&r 30/40 springs. New front discs & ds2500 pads. It's going in soon to have bullets & handles sprayed black to finish the look off. Anyway, few pics:

Looks very tidy Stu, loving what you've done to the side skirts.

 

[Rogue]

Looks absolutely mint!

 

[deadmau5]

I agree with the black sprayed splitter and skirts.

I reckon you should get some spacers then it will look complete from the outside.

 

[N0ddie]

Very stealthy.

 

[stuieplk]

Cheers lads, yeah was thinking about spacers, so tempted by 18'' oz ultra's though.....

 

[stuieplk]

Also, a very light tint on headlights and rear lights?

 

[deadmau5]

Yeah a light tint on the fronts would look good. For the rear, you could tint them, smoke the clear bits (like on that 5 door replica that's on ebay atm) or put a red tint over the clear so the whole light is red.

Spi vision?

You know you will.....

 

[T3 JDL]

Love this car looks like mine apart from the black badges and front splitter you have great taste lol

 

[stuieplk]

Spi vision?

Is this a company that does the tinting?

Mike ....... just don't.

 

[stuieplk]

Finally got the handles & bullets sprayed, also got the passenger rear quarter re sprayed as I wasn't happy with it since the day I got it. Only just got snap happy on my phone after cleaning so excuse the quality and darkness! Just got spacers to fit and get the headlights, fogs and rear lights very lightly tinted for the ultimate stealth look.

Looks ace all in black, did you do the interior LEDs yourself?
