Few more mods and polish and wax ready for fastshow

Previously painted the bonnet vents matt black, which I really liked.
Was parked under orange street lamp and noticed it made them look grey, didn't like this at all so they had to come off and go back to satin black.
Painted grill thingy behind the left hand vent white to keep in with the theme.

The paintworks far from mint and I notice more each time we clean her.
The roof has the usual early evo micro blistering, have decided to give her a complete respray when I have the money.
Didn't want to turn up at the Fastshow with the roof looking like this though so have decided to give it a quick fix with some Carbon wrapping for now.

Good wash, polish, and a few layers of wax and she's about ready.
Still waiting for the mudflaps to arrive from Evobits though, I hope they're here in time :arms:

Finally I have some

After alot of searching and dissapointments I finally have some mudflaps. They're not the carbon ones I was hoping for, i've had to settle for standard ones but now they're on I love them.

Also tinted the rear lights and side repeaters.

And polished the fuel rail, Dean got his arm stuck fitting it after reaching for a dropped bolt, he thought he'd have to stay like that all day until I got home from work :eek:

+ one on Japfest, i want to see at least one evo of each model(I-X)
Car looks very nice, i wouldn't bother painting it, looks good from my screen and the carbon roof wrap is perfect for covering up bad paint on the roof. Keep it as it is. As for the strut brace decals, i'd remove them. As the saying goes 'Less is more'

Thanks for the positive comments guys :D:D

Seriously I would LOVE to come to Japfest, I really really can't tho :sad::cry::cry:, were going away soon and saving for that, it's just a little too far and will cost us alot in fuel while we're trying to recoup abit of the money spent recently.

I am down fot the Japshow tho, its not as big and exciting but a little more realistic for us at the mo :)

Sorry x
