Dean @RW-Developments Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 ok i had the car 5 muinites and it already started to bore me so i set about starting my first mod so i gave the rear lights a slight tint with a logo just 2 giv it that 1 off lookbefore.after..i think they came out quite well! they are darker than in the pics its just because of the camera flash!

Dean @RW-Developments Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 soon after doing my rear lights i booked my car in at MIJ performance i decided i wanted a ss cat back system with the middle box removed and the backbox on a slight slantso it would give it that jdm look! when i went there i supplied them with my own backbox. i went for an apexi N1 carbon backbox. when i got it home after my parents moaning about the noise lolthe back box i supplied as i didnt really like any of there jap style exhausts.any comments welcome not too harsh tho lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dean @RW-Developments Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 ok an update everyone! i finished letting the bumper dry and harden so i could go and fit itthis is the first pics..to be honest in sat slightly lower than i thought it would, i was dreading speed humps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean @RW-Developments Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 i still needed to do some alterations with the bumper but thought id leave it for another day!so i was thinking of free mods when a brainwave..yes my mom had a spare mini vaccum, this was to become my new air intake lol so i began measuring it for the bonnet so i could get the angle right!now everyone please dont jump to conclusions because i am no chav or barry!trial fits..ok it now needs colour codingi soon got into fitting it and cut the hole int the bonnet to feed the air.

Dean @RW-Developments Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 ok the bumper looked slightly bare and with the new scoop id just painted i chought i would alter the bumper and the bonnet at the same time! so i soon got on the net and brought a few thingsfoglights and some metal bumper corner cannards, unfortunatly at the time i couldnt get my hands on any carbon fibre ones.when i fitted everything it looked a little like this..i also sprayed the side trims on the doors.ok im not really keen on the silver mesh i think i might spay it black or dark grey when i can be bothered!i also decided to take the toyota badge off the front.now im thinking of putting sum black wheels on it with a lip - this is just a ruff ideahaha lol crap attempt but gives me a fuff idea at the time.

Dean @RW-Developments Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 now for the interior from day 1 of owning my starlet i ripped the rear seats out so there would be no confussion with me been a taxi for my friends. i didnt want the back of the car to look crap and i still wanted sum sort of a soundsystem, so i went and got.a sheet of perspex (very light)vibe 6x9 swhiteline strutbrace12inch fly active sub.sparco gear knob and pedalsand a few cans of spray paint.also 2 reclinable seats only tempary until i get some carbon fibre ones when i got the perspex it was clear so i cut out the holes for the 6x9s and sprayed it metalic black then held a can of candy purple paint from a distance so it put a slight purple overspray tinge to it.more pics to come Quote Link to post Share on other sites
