Well what do you know, the guys have Lexus Sheffield have done a sterling job with my motor and she's now back in my hands - she's looking a little different too

Couple of 'new' mods - they're new to me but you've all seen them before

The wheels were originally Maz's, made their way to Zee at which point they changed colour, and now they've made their way into my hands, where they'll be forever covered in brake dust!

As for the exhaust, think that started off with LexusSport, then moved across to Andy Hart, then Zee, then me I've always had a thing for twin's - don't worry Zee, I'll take care of them!

Other new stuff on there which is listed in full in the garage here

So, she's a year old as of a week ago - so can you spot the difference:




Not much has changed!

Anyway, here are some more pics for of her now, she's looking a lot different, it's amazing how many people just stare now, or turn their heads out when they hear the twin's screaming in ecstasy! One thing I've noticed though is that I get loads of kids wanting to race, of course I just chill and cruise by

Sexy shot
Front end
Possible calender entry?
Check the twin's out from behind!
Front passenger side
Pretty shiny!
Back end

She does get low though, check Zee out in the back seat:

I love it, can't believe the difference this has made, she used to get attention when the TDI induction was fitted by Rob & Gord but this has made all the difference in the world

So what do you think?

very nice mate well done

Cheers mate, thanks to your good self and Steve as well who performed the transplant along with Zee who was swapping bits around everywhere that day

OH MY GOSH, looks better in granite sky But even better in Black

very nice indeed!!! looks great

Looking verynice aido

Looks amazing aido, excellent stuff

superb Mr Aido

need some subtle Prolex-uk stickers and you'll out bazza bazza !!

Already got the little black ones by my side Dave

They shall be on there tomorrow

when you see my strut brace I think you may have to adjourn to the gents for some relief.............

Have already done that twice today Dave so it's out my system now

Tempted, but I don't like the thought of extra vibrations coming through to the steering wheel which I've read I'll get with the strut brace.

Guess I could always just sit it on there for show days though, right

Very nice mr Grot, just gotta show it off at some of these meets now.

Will probably be a couple of weeks before I can make any meets at the least, mum's out the hospital now which is good but can't really leave her on her own for a couple of weeks while she's rehabilitating. Just means I can get even more on there when I do finally turn up at another!

what vibrations ? I dont get any !

You don't?

Was a very old thread of Andy Hart's I read mate, in that case.........

SOLD

how about a meet at yours then.

The neighbour's would go spare mate

I think they'd all been hoping I'd gotten rid and that the Clio was mine!

Should have seen their face when I drove in - "Oh, no! It's back!"



We'll have to get something sorted, give me a week or so then we're cooking

very nice mate. it just reminded me that i must clean mine. been 3 weeks and its gone from black to a grey-brown colour. thats what happens when you race around like a headless chicken. see you at a meet soon
rob.

@ Rob!

Why is it my car makes people want to wash their own

I'm not that bad - usually

bloomin eck !!!

its clean !!!

allways thought it was dirt coloured

looking good mate
go get your strut brace , no vibrations at all
wasnt andys problem down to his shaft or something ??



out bazza bazza ........never !!

and best wishes to your mum

It is dirt coloured mate, it's just in the shade so looks different I thought Aztec Fire was bad for changing colour in different types of light but these granite buggers do it too Looks like a full respray in those two pics!

Tell you what, I'll clean it especially next time I see you - with that same bucket I used for Donington

@ Bazza - thanks mate

WOW.... That looks mental....
Thats got to be one of the best looking 200's i've seen.
Kept that quiet didn't you (or did i miss the press release ?)
What's happening with . What's he doing with his car ?

that looks the dogs tayters that aido

Looks bloomin' excellent matey

Top job

Thanks Dunc, wouldn't go that far mate, I've got a long way before I'm anything near what you, Barry, Maz, Daza and loads of the other lads have (or had) already, it's good fun though this journey

Zee had my standard kit so is driving round in a two tone car like I was for a while, think he's enjoying the Lexus luxury though

As for keeping it quiet, didn't say a word mate, first thing that was said on here was Steve saying he liked my secret mods a couple of days ago! Quite a few of the lads knew though, think I mentioned it at Cheltenham when I was bladdered up!

Amazing what a few bits of plastic can do!

looking fantastic mate!

shame you didnt keep the two tone effect though

zee, i take it all back about the wheels! they do look much better on a darker car though.

Yup, I agree - not really in mod's but that sure does look very nice indeed. Probably one of the best I've seen, nice colour as well!

Well done!

I always told everyone ... GRANITE SKY is the best colour to go for...

Yep, we told em eh Steve and they didn't believe us

Think we all need to meet up, yourself, Kieran, Pete J, just missed Gus of course, and everyone else with a Granite Sky so we can show 'em how it's supposed to be done

Zee has been my personal advisor on this car of course - I've just bought most of it off him

BLACK BLACK BLACK

its by far the more superior colour chaps!

Is Zee putting his car back to standard ?
Is he selling it ?

I'll let Zee tell you mate!

Think Zee is keeping the car over winter.

BTW, Zee, if you're reading this, hope things are well ok mate.

Hey that looks wicked - bet you don't keep it that clean for long though !!

aido that looks very nice, you must be happy!
i'd be out driving around in it now if that was mine!

Can't get it out the drive mate

But don't fear have a bag of pebbles from B&Q in the boot which will sort that out, couldn't do it tonight as we had visitors!

That looks brill mate. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh soon.

That sure looks Tough!! very intimidating to passers

Are you running HID? or is it the yellow fogs the make your main beam look so clean and white!?

Granite Sky was my first choice, but i got my black tezza at an unrefusable price.

Overall well done, everything really works well

You will mate, but it will be dirty by then

Mr Singh, the HID's aren't in there at the moment, those are Zee's XWhite bulbs which I bought ages ago!

They are very, very white, but the HID's when I was trying them out just blow them away!

I will get more pics when I get the bits back and installed as the HID kit was awesome

I'd forgotten how **** the lights as standard are - had a loan IS200 for a couple of days and at night the bulbs were useless!

Mate, that car looks really nice !! Not sure about the front splitter - but the rest of it looks wicked ! - Congratualtions !

BTW : How the hell is the car soooo clean ? Mine's Granite Sky, and I can never get it lookin like that ?

Easy, the garage washed it

I prepared it well with Meguiars NXT mate and the PC - keep your eyes open as Mr Mcnally may be offering another group buy on something to make your car nice and shiny before Xmas!!!

Also, bear in mind that the bumpers have just been repainted this week!!!!

I wasn't sure on the front splitter to be honest but it looks much better in the flesh, I really like it now, I understand where Zee was coming from with that one

Mind you, I've got other plans afoot for the long term

Maybe I'll see it in the flesh one day then ..... will you be @ the Chartwell meet, on the 17th ? - I'll be there !

Don't think so mate, but we'll see what happens

Ahh ok , I guess i'll just have to show my Granite Sky colour off then ! lol

WOW...Very NICE matey, well done, and i bet this is only stage 1.....many many more mods to come.....

Don't say that Maz, I'm skint already!!!

You got any more hand me downs for me, mate

That's your wheels and your gear knob I've got now, wonder what I'll get next

Looking forward to seeing yours next time it comes out the bodyshop mate, she's just awesome

yeah, you must be pretty chuffed mate, looking well smart now!

Very nice car, I love that colour

fantastic aido ,well done .
