Talking Updated PicturesOf The Black Magic!

Right... Not been on here for a while, got a few updates to share with you!..

First of all needed 4 new tires, Looked around for ages and i decided to go for Parada Spec 2's (Yoko)
I can honestly say these tires are amazing, not had them in the wet as the car dont come out in the wet, But in the dry the grip is unreal. If anyone has runflats i would definetly advise on getting these, road noise, ride quality etc is 10000 times better!

Secondly i wanted a bit of a style change, My front bumper and bonnet were stone chipped from motorway driving when i used the car to work and back, before i had a van. SO that needed spraying, Never liked my chrome boot handle, so had that sorted, Always loved black wheels so decided to get them done too. Oh and also red mirrors, to break the car up a little.
Got a few little stickers to look alittle more random, And yesterday came across some style tape, so stuck that on my rim =]

She's also had a service with Iridium plugs etc,

Next up is big brakes so i can finally get no brake fade for the Nurburgring next year =]

Spec so far
  • 2004 MCS
  • Iridum Plugs
  • Black S Spokes
  • Red Mirrors
  • Yokohama Spec 2's
  • KW Suspension
  • White Sidelight Bulbs
  • Aero Grill
  • Front end re-spray
  • De-chromed Belt Line

Anyway...
- Here is a picture before....( Click to Enlarge Pics)




And After =]

























So guys........ What you think ?

Cheers, Johnno.

I love the red "rim tape" effect. My S is coming with painted balck wheels, and I was thinking about adding some rim tape myself - you just convinced me it's a "must"....

Rest of that motor's not too shabby either...

Steve

Just a few days until "S Day", 01/09/09
It's red & black and will be here soon
