Thanks John - nah blue lights are staying!

Bit of a potted history on the Car! Bought in Feb 2003 so had it nearly 4 years.
This is the first photo I ever took of it.



That was taken early June 2003 after RTTS, hence the mud spatter!
At that time all I had done was the new Sony Headunit, the alloys as you see and changed the rear light clusters!
It is a 1997 P reg. I paid £2900 for it when it had 98k on the clock with 2 previous owners. An estate agency then when it was traded in the woman who looked after the cars in that company bought it for herself, she chose this one out of 3 others, so it was the best!
A 16 valve to which I have added a K&N induction kit.
Back in the late summer I bought a second hand cat back exhaust system from Hypermonkey on here. A Magnex twin pipe outlet.

I then changed the door speakers to Sony 3 way in the front and Infinity components in the rear.


Next was some Sony 3 way 6 x 9's on an MDF parcel shelf with an unknown amp Billy lent me.
Oh I mention Billy - he is my Son-in-law and the one whose fault it is I bought this car! :grin:

No pics of this.

Twin headlights.

Then at E38 in 2005 I bought a mesh grille, painted that myself which I was quite chuffed with!




You can also probably see the crystal indicators and the Vr6 chin spoiler.

There was also the built in sub box and 4 way amp install thats around here somewhere that I will post in here at some point. (when I find it!)

The future! Here's what I have planned.

The body kit - pics below.
Full respray - well the exterior only.
New alloys - atm I'm looking at BK299 with gold spokes.
A chip/remap. No idea where this will get done yet, still to be researched.
