Few pics (probably not 56k friendly)

Thought I'd post a few pics of my car up, since it's clean for a change.
I've spent all afternoon cleaning and polishing it. Unfortunately, my digital camera got nicked so all I can take are crap quality phone pics that don't do it much justice.
Feel free to comment!

Aii. T'is very shiny at the minute.
Wheels are still a bit grubby but the pics are such low quality and it's so dark that you can't really tell. I'm going to do them properly next week when I've got a bit more time.

any mods planed

Yep.

It's currently sat on Sportlines but I'm looking at going down the coilovers route later on.

It will be getting a KTec supersport system in the next couple of weeks. Might get a de-cat too, dunno yet. I'll also be getting the inlets matched at some point in the near future.

I need to get the wheels refurbed and was considering getting them done in a different colour.

Going to get some light window tints (~30% front and back).

Gonna get the brakes upgraded (not looked into that much yet) before doing mainly performance mods.

Cam belt needs doing in another 12k (I do about 500 miles a week), so in 6 months I'll be getting that done and having it cammed at the same time.
Also on the list is an Omex ECU. After all that's installed and fitted I'll be looking a remap so that it still runs right.

I'm unsure whether I want to go down the ITB or turbo route eventually. Obviously both have their pro's and cons. That's too far in the future for me to be bothered about at the minute though.

**EDIT** I don't know where to stick my Cliosport sticker! Any ideas? :D

In this picture, to show how much of a shine it's actually got, I've increased the contrast a bit and lowered the brightness slightly.
Looks much better I think.

They're the quad LED ones. It looks loads better than having bog standard bulbs in. I think they cost me about 4 quid off eBay.
I want to get a HiD kit for the fog lamps now 'cos all the lights are a brilliant white except for the them (even though they don't get used much).

Got a link for them Darren? :)

Clicky

They're the correct ones.
If you buy some they're a little difficult to get in. You have to force them into the bulb holder a little bit and you have to wiggle them about to get them through the hole in the headlight unit because they're slightly wider than standard bulbs.
I like them though.

Is there something on your front number plate? Round the top edge? :eek:

Apart from that looks tidy :D

No, the number plate has a couple of slight cracks in the laminate at the top. Water and dirt has got into it.
Haven't bothered to replace it yet.
It's not an MOT failure because none of the numbering is obscured.

Ahh i see! Just wondered what it was as the rest of the car is gleaming :D
