Yiannis' Albi Blue R27 - Toning down...

Some updates then.

Streamline carbon badges ordered and fitted, backing plate and lower grille sent to Simon (SS) to get sprayed in gloss black to match the upper grilles. FK automotive headlights are now gone, in the end I did prefer the stock look so I got myself an original headlight from eurocarparts (thankfully discounted).

A set of 20 Watt LED H7 bulbs were then purchased to convert the cornering lights - which don't work anyway - to DRLs. I'm yet to do the wiring though but I'm getting there. The concept is for them to be turned on with the engine and off when the lights are on. An extra ESP switch is going to be used (£7 from fleebay) so as to give me the option to switch them off without turning the lights on.

Silver indicators as well at the rear, a good wash and mega opportunity for pictures:smile:

Future plans are diffuser re-lacquering ( [MENTION=1272]Fernandez[/MENTION] come on mate you know you want to help an old friend here), a set of new tyres, and if I grow some balls to take the recaro covers off and have them sprayed. We shall see...

Def my fav car on here. I'm kind of with you on the seats. I'm planning to take a week off, with my seats coming out to fit some harness eyelets. Might just end up with this while they are out....
 
Cheers guys.

Wilson this is definitely a compliment mate, coming from a guy who owns THE R27. Now these seats in the pic are the definition of awesomeness. Go for it mate and I'm so following trend, we might get a better price from SS who knows ha:wink:

Would like this done to mine but not sure how easy it would be to get the rear of the seats off and not causing any damage. Where you getting it done and what cost if you dont mine me asking?



Car is looking stunning by the way Yiannis, hopefully see you again soon!
 
Such a great car Yiannis, I absolutely love this car, keep it up buddy. Question though, do you not fancy a spoiler of any type?

There is a ''how to'' in the traders section for removing the Recaro backs mate, now it's all down to how confident and brave you are to do it! Spraying wise Simon [MENTION=3275]SprayShack[/MENTION] can give us an estimate price:smile:

Thanks Chris:smile:

I'm flirting with the idea of a Sprint spoiler mate however it's not in the priority mod list at the moment. I can easily see me having one in the future though.
 
Cars looking really good. Love all the little bits.
This might temp you to do your seat backs. I took it earlier up my friends.

This car is crying out for a black sprint spoiler with some quirky touch on it that I can't think off but I'm sure you can Yiannis :wink:
