AndyMB's White 98' Spec (Update 22/07/13)


Recommended Posts

Wow, haven't updated this in a long time! Done lots of little bits to this.



Took the seats out for a big hoover pre Japshow. Can see my new matts in there too...

This bit on the edge of the boot always looked rough so I decided to trim it in carpet. Had black laying around so did this as a test run. Will now order the grey to match the carpet and do it in one piece.

Also added a red stripe to the lip of my Enkeis. They should have red anodized lips but mine have been re painted. I just wanted a bit of red as a nod to the original design...

Then I tucked her away hidden in my Nan's garage whilst I was on holiday. Love this picture...

Looks mega clean man, that 5zigen border 304 exhaust is awesome isnt it ? Mine used to pop and bang loads.

Was this at Japfest ? I saw a white V there with that exhaust system.

Thanks mate, yeah it's pretty clean now, finishing off the engine bay now. Yeah the exhaust pops so much, much better than my HKS one.

No I didn't go to Japfest, will have to get there next year though when it's all finished :)

Loving the super clean mild manor of your v mate, all the mods are so subtle and complimentary. Think the oem recaro interior would finish this off perfectly. Keep up the awesome work mate :D

How did you do that carpet thing? Spray glue? Mine needs it also lol

It's self adhesive carpet. Got it online, it's quite stretchy and the glue is pretty strong.

I was going to re paint that bit but I thought the carpet would look neater. It stops that annoying boot rattle too :)

Of course not. If people like the idea then go for it. This is the site I got it from. Bought the black years ago, will be buying the grey soon as I think it would match the boot carpet better.

For the best finish its best to remove the boot seal around the bottom to overlap the carpet. Remove the plastic catch trim too. Adhesive is strong and the carpet is quite stretchy.

Hope it helps someone else out :)
