Skills

I tried to wrap my mirrors, and gave up

when I did it, I wasn't sure that I liked the look either and decided to remove it. I ended up just painting them black and was really happy with how that turned out. Maybe if I had fitted them wrapped I might have liked it?

Spoiler looks great though

I'm defo not a fan of fake carbon so I leave this alone but headlights looks great. What did you use for polishing? I just finished mine with meguiars PlasterX

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

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.

@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!
