My new motor - 02 IS200 Sport in Strathcaron Blue - FOSSIL FUELS - 12-06-2021
After getting this car... I know it was the right choice!
Dave has done a great job of choosing some of the finest and tasteful modifications to the car.
Its such a nice place to be... I don't feel rushed to be anywhere.
And there will not be any orange on this one... All bulbs and lights have been detangod and replaced with silvatec's

FOSSIL FUELS Polish the exhaust tip (don't think it has ever been done)
Get some leather cleaner and balm on the seats and get them looking new and clean the fabric on seats and door cards...
Steam clean carpets and generally clean up all scratches and marks inside the car.
Just generally make it as clean as possible...
You trying to say that Dave is a bit of a minger :kiltsmilie::kiltsmilie:

He'd be right. I mostly cleaned the outside before I ran out of time or patience so the interior could do with a spruce up. Ditto the engine bay and exhaust...

Lol...
Dave I didn't mean that...
Yes the interior needs a good going over... Especially as I had the spare wheels and stuff in the car.
Exhaust looks like its never been cleaned before
And the engine bay needs a a serious clean... And a new air filter

I always try my hardest to get my cars looking the best they can be...
Just ordered some new paint for the wheels... and will be ordering some VHT Anodised paint to do a few engine bay bits before JAE.
and hopefully win this ally rad to get rid of the leaky one currently on it.
get SFS to make me up some silicone coolant hoses... and replace the worn ones on the injen intake. Just got to find a decent filter now to replace the grubby green filter.

Been working on improving the look of the wheels... and unfortunately i didn't get the wheels i was looking to get...
so in the mean time i have have decided to refurb the aero alloys... the look like they have been done before... so have only taken a quick rub down and paint.
i no professional sprayer by any means... they have been done in my garden with rattle cans and some wet and dry... but they have come up quite nicely.
Wet and dried masked up and 2 layers of primer:
