Hi there
How have you got that yellow tint in the headlamps?
Is it yellow bulbs?
Love the interior and car…its stunning

Thanks everyone
They are yellow caps which fit over the bulbs:

So finally got round to building up the RS, very satisfying job! The first one;
And then the second one all done, these are the rears all done
Seeing how shiney the rears were i decided i wasnt happy with the front dishes, so stupidly decided to sand them back down to remove the pitting
Here is one done, they arent perfect but look alot better than before, now i just had the painstakingly long task of polishing them again, which i should be able to finish this evening and get some pictures

Okay I have to admit it, I'm as jealous as hell when I look at those wheels!
Now I have a picture in my head of those on mine.

Small Update on this, been busy the past few weeks (but not with the car unfortunately).
Firstly, found some pictures before i brought the car on my phone;
any way, to present day now, got the tyres fitted to my BBS, unfortunately i had a leak in two of the wheels and the rears tyres had far too much stretch (my poor research).
the size were 165/45 all round (going on 7J and 7.5j).
These are the front, perfect amount of stretch in my eyes;
And these are the rears;
i could get my finger between the lip and the tyre
So for the rears i will opt for 185/45/15 and that should hopefully look alright.
i thought i would still try them on for size though the rear wheel fitment, car will need to come down a bit to make the fitment perfect.
and the fronts, you can see this one had lost alot of air by the time i put it on
Also picked up these for a pretty penny for my recaros, slightly different colour to my seats thought which is annoying so might have a go at dying them, unless people have any suggestions?

Just read the lot, brillant work and photos
Given me some inspiration to sort mine out (again)!
Let us know how the nankangs perform - I don't reckon there as bad as some people seem to think.

Small picture dump, no updates, still lazy and nothing changed on the car! My neighbour made me a model of my car a while back
Haven't used my camera for a long time so decided to go for a drive last week for some photos, only edited one so far but it came out nice i think

Wow your car looks fantastic but I think the model just beats it by a small margin! 😂
But seriously both look fantastic, you must be chuffed with both. ☺️👍🏼
