Thanks . Went to Rotor Fest on the weekend was lots of fun . The car is back at the paint shop to fit the kit now properly ( just fitted it quick for Rotorfest ) still need to take my BOV apart and clean it up as it doesn't seem to open ( hear compressor surge but not the BOV) . Also wastegate Spring is a bit too hard getting 1.05 bar without the boost controller . So need to see where I can get a softer spring

I was hoping you were going to refit everything. The gaps are all over the place!

Yes I know , now I don't have any pressure to get the car ready for a event , so now stuff will get done properly . Still need to cut the door panels to make the seats wings clear and then cover them in suede . Just a bit in a dilemma with my wastegate . Seems I already have the weakest yellow spring in which is supposed to be 0.8-1.1 bar . My car boosts currently 1.05 without the boost controller connected . Would like it to be 0.7 but seems HKS doesn't make weaker springs for the old 50 mm racing wastegate . Any ideas ? Maybe some aftermarket springs that fit ?

Markus why not just take some cushioning out of the bolster instead of cutting the door panel.

Im not too keen on that colour to be honest bud but each to their own

I know most guys don't like the pink , but I have my heart firmly set on it ( I just love a pink FD ) . I would still like your input with regards to how I should split the black from the pink . So far this is the best I could come up with

I like this one, except I would do the cutout under the rearmost part of the rear flares pink. Would do the bonnet, but not the roof, in black. Keep toying with it.

hmm those wheels i like that a lot , Marcus you're queen turned-out pretty nice.

i do like pink FD if the paint is done right , iunno im saying...
it defenitly makes it more girly too my taste , but eh ! some guys know how to rock it
I personally don't look good in a pink shirt so having a pink car wouldn't match with me
haha but i do like you 3rd picture the fully pink one with the black hood
add some nice white rims and wow!!!

i mean ,if i had to paint mine that color,i would go that style
but i love my Red Devil too much :P

JMO but this look makes it look like you added stuff to the car but could not afford to match paint it like the rest of the vehicle. If you go pink you should just paint 100% of the car... including the jambs and engine bay.

I hate it. That will turn your pretty decent, tough looking car into something really really lame.
You will be like some kind of super hair dresser.

Firmly set on the pink but maybe thought it was a bit much . Played arround with a black FD picture and added just pink accents so it's not so overwhelming

This Pink one looks pretty cool I can't imagine yours not looking cool if its done right. I think it would work well on a track car. Not my flav but I like variety



You could use the RE car for inspiration...

Much better than pink!

JMO but I would leave the front bumper all one color and just have the hood, roof, and trunk lid black. It would be much more consistent and ecstatically pleasing.
