Enjoy the photobomb!

P.S. I started modifying the car bad (when I look back at it), but now I really like the way it looks. Latest page will provide you with the most recent picture of my car.

First mod I did was buy a can of matte black plastidipped and did the chrome part of the stock grill.

I always liked the tinted tail light look so I tried using the plastidip. It doesn't look nice at all now that I look back at it lol

Next I added a quite expensive cosmetic item under the hood. Bought it off a member from here.

This is the part where I regretted 'changing' the most. I was too eager and keen to modify the car that I sold the STI Enkei wheels for the Lenso Type-M from Tempe Tyres.

Silly me.

The wheels.

I finally did something decent to the car. That was purchasing a CF grill (idk if real or not) from ebay.

This may be one of the biggest mod I did. Bought DGR coilovers (brand new or almost brand new) from a member. It was a DIY mod and it turned out great! I actually didn't mind the wheels because it looked so aggressive from the front. Being 19x8.5 + 48 it sat almost flushed. Had a few issues with scraping and eating the tyres because the guards weren't rolled.

Tyres were 225/35/19.

Coilovers in. Stock suspension out.

I also used the plastidipped matte black to do the eyelids. IMO it didnt look too bad.

Okay so I tinted my tail lights red. Makes the car look like its not a liberty anymore. I like. Also got a Xforce catback system for cheap as well lol.

Phew all done. Will post up pics of how the car looks now soon.

[shav]

loving the way your car looks with the coilovers Sean. Good job so far.

[Moeeyy_]

So you're the bastard I saw driving through parramatta on marsden street a few weeks back, i was in a red RX8 - HAQ008, my mates one.

I died because at that point i had given my mum my lib and was driving a hunk of shit eg civic, until the headgasket blew on that and i got it repaired but kept overheating - so my mums buying herself a new car. libs mine again

anyways, your car looks even better in the flesh, nice work man! looks very mint, should've stayed with the sti wheels imo, but i like the look of the stockies with the red wheel nuts.

i go to uws parramatta so if you're not busy gimme a shout, i get bored at uni

EDIT: You live in liverpool?
