Some nice touches/upgrades
looks good from the back with the new exhaust trims and the cf wrap on the roof looks like a pro job
Im curious as to how you feel it compares performance wise to your old 4th gen?
bit of bonus being able to swap wheels between the lude and the s2000

Re: Supercharged 5th Gen 2.2 Motegi
Yup, patience of a saint!
It doesn't feel much quicker than my 4th gen Vanzep.
But the power delivery and pickup in any gear is noticeably different. And then there's the sound!
I have been busy tidying up a few more parts.
Rocker cover in the original wrinkle red style with the exhaust manifold heat shield painted in halfords metalic black(actually grey) heatproof paint.
And also gave the main supercharger pulley bracket a dose of wrinkle black.
A picture of the lights fitted.
I am in the process of refurbishing the wheels before knockhill next sunday as well.

Re: Supercharged 5th Gen 2.2 Motegi
@K30DPC - I used various grades of wet and dry sandpaper followed by rubbing compount and plastic polish.
Painted the Motegi wheels this weekend.
They were in some state, but I didn't take a before picture.
Kerbing, flaking, corrosion, 15 years worth of stone chips! They took a lot of prep.
Some graphite grey metallic.
Lacquered up.
Quite a transformation!
