Well, after a long journey waiting and saving and replacing head gaskets (both as it happens!) the outside of the car is finished, for now.

I chose not to have the skirts fully smoothed in, too much time and effort plus cracking will only mean a full side respray if any develop. I also took the Shogun spoiler off, was too much wanted it a littl subtler so went back to the OE job. had it resprayed in Lexus pearl white, hard to tell from these pictures but at night and under street lights it looks amazing, there is a purple tint to it which looks amazing. Iniside the half leather has been retrimmed with alcantara anywhere where leather is not.

Only question now is do I change the front bumper? See my other topic for details.

That car looks sick! Very clean! Those are the type of rims Almere has right?

The rims are Wolfrace Katana I think they are called. They will be getting changed for some more Jap style ones as soona s I can afford it. They are OK for now but suit hatches better than they do Coupes.

have looked into a short shifter..are they really that good???

Me always liked white cars :D
Wish I also opted for a pearlescent finish to the oem white respray I got a number of years ago.
