From the start, this is the Lude when i first got it -









It had a few flaws.








I had my old Lude as a donor so work commenced and parts were swapped over quickly







swapped my whole front bumper which included a motegi lip

NGK ht leads

interior swap



kick plates

motegi alloys


next up was to lower it




2nd interior swap




Type S intake and spoon socks




after killing my clutch i decided to get the ATR clutch and a lightened XTD flywheel to go with it





picked up a set of pentas from a forum member and this is how she stands today


I've still got a few plans, and i've already started gathering a few parts so i'll update as i go.


cheers for reading

Great looking Nice to see the little things like trim and stuff tidied up

Do these bits just pull off or is there more to it? Mine are more than shabby.

Get yourself some some rubbing compound and a foam applicator sponge, rub it on the rubber strips and it will clean all the gunk and crap off them. Then you can get some back to black or like a rubber restorer (use use some stuff by mer) to bring back the shine.

thanks for the comments guys

same here mate, saw them at my 1st MH meet, i'd not long had my old vti and pictured the seats in it straight away

tasty mate, very tasty. im not a fan of the wing but thems the breaks.

i like your slanted Nplate. jdmftw

i wasnt the biggest fan of the wing either but its grown on me. i think it looks the shiz from the front and sides, but the view from the rear aint the best

thanks mate

they are a P.I.T.A to get off, there are a number of clips that hold them in place, and i broke a few pulling them off

if the rubber hasnt completely perished you can refurb them, i did the ones in the pic by sanding them, it took a while but the results were good. an easier and quicker way is to use some rubbing compound, a bit of elbow grease and you'll have them looking nice again
