Some pics of the car on gatebil at Rudskogen July this year:
And of course the trip to rudskogen didnt go that good as i blew up the standard IC.
And it was time to fit a FMIC:

And heres a few pics of how it looks today:
I aint a fan of the body kitted 5's but the the paint work does look good. Main thing is that your happy with the job.
Yeah I know what you mean. And as i stated in the first post, the only reason for the bodykit is that phase 1 plastic costs a fortune, and allmost all of the plastic was cracked and damaged. Im glad you like the paint
I guess my next car will be an original phase one with no body mods, only time will tell.
same here..im not a fan of big bumper kits but the paint finish does look good
now you've got most of the gt5-r kit fitted i think you need to at least fit the gt5-r front round arches, open mouth grill,badboy bonnet and Bigger rims. it'll finish the car off nicely i think
I agree on getting the rest of the kit, but as a student I dont have too much money to play with... when Im done I guess Ill take the car all the way with the grill wheel arches and rims. Oh and of course this kit: http://www.dsengineering.co.uk/airsu...s.php?model=23
As it will make it easier to get around with. (stupid speedbumps)
First things first the instrumentpanel needs to be fixed. But thats for another part of the forum...
oooerrrr! ive not seen an air ride kit for the 5 before!Originally Posted by Lexgtturbo

i suppose if you dont mind loosing out on some performance then the kit will be ok, im sre these air ride kits weigh a hell of alot!
nice idea though.
I dont think they weigh that much... Anyway I doubt that the kit weighs more than the original seats which no longer liv in the car. sparco sprints doesnt weigh much neither does the harnesses. So a worst case scenario after my calculations must be that the car reaches its original weight again. However 1200£ is a lot of money, but it would be enough to make the car more drivable, so I guess its worth it.
i have trouble with speedbumps and holes in the road, now how the f**k do you do it? lol
I avoid them :P
No seriously Ive plates of 2mm steel which hangs under the bumper to avoid costly resprays. Oh yeah and the 16" wheels with 205/45 tires helps out a bit when it comes to grounclearance.
