When the wheels are done, I think I'll be happy with the exterior of the car, The Suspension set up should be done soon (I want to add a Tegiwa Rear Tie Bar in Red, purely for looks too). Im thinking of leabing the power how it is, Im with admiral at the moment (till October) who are a pretty cool insurance company, but I'm not sure how they will be when I start mentioning manifolds and KPros. So Im thinking of leaving the power side of things as it is, until I renew with a more specialist modifciation friendly insurance company. Although I noticed this on the bay....

Now Sportex are pretty poor I believe but how bad can a B Pipe be? Its Un silenced and a larger Diametre than stock, and has a 2 year Gaurentee, surely a B Pipe is just a Pipe? Obviously I wouldnt buy their manifolds/back box, but for £80??? Anyway.
So that leaves the interior. I dont want to change drastic things, But I will definately be putting a Touch Screen Double Din unit in, and possible adding some Componants to front doors....That brings me onto the Centre console....
Now the interior isnt very good at all in a Type R. I will be the first to admit that. I think Im lucky with the Recaros and Red Carpets , it looks ok, but its not exactly a nice place to be... Now everyone seems to wrap the Centre console in 3M Carbon Vinyl wrap, which is cool, but you can tell its a wrap, and I dont really like the "matte" effect you get. My stock centre console is in good condition (Im going to Citrus Power/APC it tomorrow to get the grime off) but the door handles have a few scratches.
My idea, which has more than likely been done before is to pick up a second hand Centre Console and door handles, and have them proffesionally sprayed Cosmic Grey and Laquered so they're the same finish as the exterior? I think it will look awesome, my mate says it will look like a Corsa B Interior that someones modified themself lol?
What do we think? I'd do it to a spare one so when I put the stock HU back in it would match?
