Hi all .....I've had my car now for a month or so .... Today I got up bright and early .... ... First off I gave it a wash then I clay barred it before applying a super resin polish ...

Next job was to 5d Carbon wrap my mirror covers as they are marked with stone chips etc

Then I fitted some team heko's

And yes this is all done today !!!

I also debadged the rear( apart from the gtc badge ) and sides

Also wrapped the little side things on the roof spoiler

On my list of things to do are :

EXTERNAL :

Colour code the bottom of the rear bumper

5d Carbon fibre wrap the front grill

Paint the wheels in rover gunmetal grey ( may do the bottom of the rear bumper the same )

Pedal box

Either tuning box or remap

Lower 30mm ish

Fit a small centre diffuser to the rear bumper and paint white or get the small side defusers ( not sure yet )

Custom exhaust somewhere down the line

Make the front fogs yellow


INTERNAL :

Custom paint all the trim surrounds in gloss black

Wrap some things in carbon

New mats

Led bulbs

And I think that is about it

Hope you like

Cheers james
Nice work James, got my hekos on today as well, what engine is it?

The pedal box is well worth it, you can find them cheap on ebay most vauxhall pedal boxes will work.

The carbon wrap looks good against the white, I like it!
its a 2.0 cdti and thanks :0)
Nice work... get it lowered

For something so simple the heko's make a big difference look wise :0)

Firstly the pedal box amazed me no end .... was thinking of a remap or tuning box but now I think I won't bother until I get used to the new driving experience !!!
The k+n panel filter makes the engine note slightly different on acceleration compared to the sofa cushion they use as standard !!!!
And finally the led reverse light ( bulb ) ... this makes a big difference in the dark as the led is a lot brighter and seems to throw the light out further and let's be honest we need all the help we can get with the gtc lol... I may have to look into getting a LHD rear light cluster with the reverse light in the rhs so I have 2 :0)

Cheers james


Next mods will be a few painted bits and maybe a lowering frenzy
