Round up of my winter mods 2011
Hi all
You may or may not know (or have worked out) that the car has been off of the road the last few months for a spruce up. I have only owned this car for
about a year and I have taken this opatunaty to style a bit more to my liking and do the things that were a bit frustrating. It will go no faster
(except with me being slightly more experienced) but will certainly look better. Whats your thoughts, impressions.
Before:
 
At the ring

Change head light and indicator switches
respray dash black
Move immobiliser light to a more visible location
re sponge and trim various areas.

Re carbon cover stone guards and covers

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

I'd say the styling is 'busy'. Looks pretty mean though

Looks real good and purposeful. Summer is here, go for it!
Just a quicky, how do you get your pics to do that enlarge/hover thing?

I got the small pic hover thing by fluke!
When I went to get my pic info I cut and paste it and it had [.p.g.] (no dots) at the front and [./.p.g.] (no dots) at the rear. These replace the
[i.m.g.] (no dots) that normally goes either side of your pic file.
It suddenly done the new thing!
Strange but true!

I like the vinyl sides. I think black would suit mine as well.
Did you do it yourself? What did you get and was it easy?
