Progress thread: Tonto

[Tonto]

Just wanted to say hello from Newcastle

Editing this post to add all my mods to date instead of having them randomly through thread.

When i first got my J (She's called Letty (Fast & Furious...))



Then my first mods were interior lighting

I then debadged the rear and sides

Then it was time to change repeaters for the smoked ones.

Add a K&N panel filter

Then came the Heko's which I have since took off and sold on

LEDs for the rear number plate which do look awesome 

Then it was time for the reverse parking sensors

Then I finally got around to doing the footwell lighting, I went for blue as its one of my favourite colours (behind green)

Another outside shot 

Then I got around to getting some vxr pedals which are awesome and do look the part

I then got the rear windows tinted, makes a big difference in the sun, the back is cooler and helps shade my little one.
I've bought some touch up paint as being a white car the bumper takes a hammering unfortunately :(

But unfortunately due to flying roof slates I cant touch up this dent on the edge of my bonnet...

Now I really need to do something about the cloudy chrome as up close it looks terrible so any ideas are appreciated
And so far this is how my Letty is looking, I do have things planned for the outside but got a few more things to do inside first

So I have just received some new white interior leds to replace the blue, I have red leds in the map lights, and I have 4 48 smd panels on the way so I can re do the front footwells and add to the rear footwells too. will post more pics when they have arrived been fitted.

Next plans are to finally get around to doing door handle leds and if I have to take door card off I may as well do puddle lights, so will see how that goes.

Then onto the outside where I plan to do the following
-Paint callipers green
-Metal pressed number plates as plastic ones have started to peel
-Debadged front grille
-Flyeye the fog lights, going to leave headlights as they're darker anyway
-Finally get around to getting decent DRLs (leds) and new white main & dipped beam bulbs
-Carbon effect wrap wing mirrors & roof
-Dual exhaust is on my list
-Eventually look to getting a pedal box (maybe a remap or tuning box from dtuk)


As for now I think that is all, as always this takes time especially with having a 5 month old daughter so we're skint

So now I have all four footwells with the red LEDs.


Next up is the door handle and pockets lighting!
Today I done the door handle lights and they look great, next is door pocket lights when the rain stops!



Just as it was getting dark today I fitted the pocket lights, so glad I did! Big thanks to the how to thread, and everyone who contributed!






This morning I fitted the shark fin. It's a cheap one at £4.95 and it's excellent so far as it hasn't affected the signal on my radio! It did come with a blotch in paint so I had to use touch up pen which since I know it's there it has ruined it for me... But still looks so much better than standard!




Some alloy door pins!!


Then a good clean as new shop had an autoglym sale on!! Since it was sunny she got a good wash and wax!
