Ive had the car a week and a half now.

Plenty of stuff being delliverd over the next couple of weeks. Will post more pics as & when more parts are fitted.

So far:

Rear strut brace,
Tein lowering springs,
Tinted windows,
Red Tegiwa engine bay washers,
Red Tegiwa bonnet raisers (12mm)
Red Tegiwa rear tie bar,
Aem indution kit,

Still waiting for:
Wind deflectors,
Battery bar,

Light bulbs,

Looks pretty cool. I don't realy like the rim tape/tegiwa tie bar, but overall, it looks pretty stealth.

What's with the bonnet raisers though?

Got an AEM filter, with it being an open cone filter it suffers from heat soak so to help the filter out a little.
I liffted the bonnet a touch to allow some of the heat to escape. Gonna add a heat shield and a deacent cold air feed. Hopefully itll make a little bit of a difforence till i can get a better filter.

Oh and each to their own eh! we'd all be the same otherwise. Kind of pleased your not a fan of the tie bar as it means I wont be seeing to many ep3s about with them hopefully :lol:
Thanks for the comment though, Im not offended.

I'm not sure on the rim tape either so am with you on that one.

Just make sure you order 12mm or smaller. Any bigger and the bonnet will catch, its a tight squeeze at 12mm. Tempted to file a thin layer off the raiser to rest my mind at peace when opening the bonnet for a clean or to check oil.
