Nice car Pip! My car is very similar to yours. GT Silver, X51, Full Leather, but have different wheels. Mine just turned 30K miles. Enjoy, they are great cars.

The turbos wouldn't have been my first choice but not terrible either. I was contemplating powder coating them black with black stone guards but that maybe a little cliche?
Decisions,decisions! Definitely getting the itch to keep modifying/personalizing though. Updates soon.

So after 2 weeks of ownership, here's the mods so far.
Lowered with H&R springs
7mm/15mm H&R spacers
Black stone guards
Blacked out wheels, emblems and tailpipes.
I know the black isn't everyone's taste and being Plasti dip means its just rubberized coating that's protecting the rims and can be pealed off in about 10 minutes to return to factory look but I'm having fun messing with it. Clear bra goes on tomorrow and planning a short shifter next.
Cheers,
pip.

The new additions look fantastic. Very well done!
Could you comment a bit on the springs and their ride? I have been on the fence about installing a set. I love the look but scraping everywhere (aerokit car) and ride quality are my deterrents.
