Hey guys! Please don't vote on my car UNTIL I put up my final pics - Thanks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE (Oct 26th, 06) Here are the latest pics with my new wheels.
You can see the #4 and stripes on the hood here...
These are 235/40 18 Hankook Ventus HRII H405 on 18x8 VSR Anima rims. Nice shot of the Alteeza style lights. Love the look but they don't completely contour to the body like the OEMs did.

These are the BEFORE pics of my TT when I first got it.
The prior owner had the rally racing decal stripes and number 4's applied (trunk, doors and hood) and then sprayed over with blue metalic flake. So the whole effect is raised but hardly noticable - it all comes through a few shades lighter than the car itself. My local custom paintshop guy says they screwed it up and would not have done it himself, but I'm not entirely sure about that. You can see it better on the front shot.
My intentions here are to make this girl a wild child under the hood without comprising practicality - I do have to drive her everyday to work - such as I don't want to increase hp with massive fuel consumption or give up stability for cosmetic looks. So far all I've added is a K&N cold air filter rig to the engine. Any suggestions on what mods can help me turn Hilde into a wee lean beastie are most welcome, mates!
