The exterior Modifications are the most obvious and best part of the car;
- Full Trial bodykit, expertly fitted in Japan with vents cooling the disk brakes in the front and rear and ducts feeding cold air straight into the HKS mushroom filter. Kit consists of Front & Rear bumpers with side skirts & vented shields under the 4 wheel arches. Rear spoiler removed & boot lid debadged.
- Bronze Nismo LMGT4 alloys. 17" lightweight one piece forged alloys Manufactered by Rays Engineering for Nismo
- Windows tinted, subtle wind deflectors, 4.5" SR branded Apexi exhaust & ride height lowered by HKS Coilovers all round (measuring 4" high at the front & 5" at the rear)
- I have changed the tail lights to the Origin style clear over red ones.
- Hankook Ventus tires all round. 215/45r17 Evo V12's in the front and 235/45r17 Evo S1's at the rear
- I have recently upgraded all of the bulbs in the headlamps to Philips items (with amazing results) and I have changed the side repeaters for the Nismo smokes ones.
I was asked to go to a photoshoot for a website in Ireland who wanted to feature it so I had to get the polish out. Its amazing what a few hours washing, polishing & waxing can do!!
Also old & new tail lights:
The metal flakes really catch the sun when she's sparkling clean, even the alloys do......
New Tail lights
And to give you an idea of just how low she really is, thats my phone (Sony ericsson W580i) leaning up against it.....
I had forgotten to bring my camera to the photoshoot so heres a crappy mobile phone pic of it before I left and one at the shoot as a teaser......
Here are the new bulbs and smoked repeaters...
Some random pics from today 2nd January 2009. I got up early this morning went out and treated myself to loads of cleaning products with the intention of spending the rest of the day giving the S15 the long overdue clean that it needs but then the typically unpredictable Irish weather changed for the worse....
It's now raining so I'll have to hope the weather picks up tomorrow so I can finish what I started....
I had the day off work today so I decided to finally get my lights sorted, they came up a treat too :)
My plans for the exterior;
- I hope to eventually replace the headlights with the Clearcorner conversion as the current ones are starting to show their age now
- I'll probably remove the rear wiper and all of the stickers / badges to finish off the smooth look at the back
- Eventually I hope to get the Veilside D1 GP widebody kit and blend it in with the current Trial one, a carbon fibre hood & full respray (I'm undecided over the colour though; Bayside Blue, Kawasaki Green, Candy Purple or the darkest deepest black available!)
