My VIII GSR Build - Complete Tranformation

[Evo8Frankie]

A bit more done this weekend, not a massive but sometimes its the small things that make a big difference.. like the Mitsi Badge i fitted to the bumper, kind of completes the front end.

Also fitted a new IX Gear Knob.

Then as it was nice i decided to give it a good clean, as had some leaves stuck to it...

Also did a wire tuck, which look so much better, nice and sleek. Ill have to take some pics of that tomorrow.

As the weather was nice yesterday, i decided to give her a proper scrub and polish, even did the inside or the windows aswel.

I borrowed my bro's goochy camera, and im in love with taking pics now it makes the car look so much nicer than my phones camera.

the top of the bumper near the latch is drooping down as its not got one of the bolts fitted, and the mesh is loose at the bottom. needs the metal bumper bracket fitting to make it sit properly.
