Metro Grey "08-MPS"

[Gibbo]

Hi, just thought i'd make a thread here to post up all my pics as I take good ones along the way

Not really any appearance mods yet, and not a great deal planned but love taking pics of my car, and hopefully my photography gets better as I go!!!

Enjoy!

As I got the car;






.







Kinda cool picture with New CREE Led foggies



After LED Conversion (Love these shots)









New Number plates "08-MPS"












New FMIC

[Gibbo]

Got around to installing my coilovers last week, not looking for a huge drop, but rather something that looks 'racy' and is functional, and pretty happy with how it looks.

Been on a bit of a road trip recently and met up with a couple mates off our forum in AUS (ozmpsclub.com). One of which has a gen 1 with the same Enkei rims, and lowered (though that's all he's done to his car).

Got some pretty sweet rolling shots of my car, and then a few shots of the cars together.
If you like their photography, check them out and like their facebook pages for me

Lol, thanks man, getting a double shot of the RPF1's here

I'm considering going to Evo X's though, cause 9" and +45 with 5mm spacer doesn't really give me much room anywhere

Got a set of FD Rx7's i'm currently painting gold, should look pretty sweet on the car too but they will just be a track rim. If Evo's come up for sale, i'll prob jump on 'em

You can pay shipping (BOTH WAYS!) LOL

Did a few little appearance mods last week after installing my cpe turbo back exhaust, and swapping out my sure rem for a cpe stage 2 mount.
Currently getting custom tune, but here are some pics I took at the end of last week. If anyone has any photography advice or constructive criticism I'm all ears, as I'd love to improve my photography












I'm really unsure if I like this angle or not...

Lol, the ADM MPS has headlight washers. Just pops up and sprays water on your headlights every 5 times you wash your windscreen. I think it's completely pointless so I disconnected it.
Just another pipe and connector to disconnect when removing the front bumper :p

You guys also have more "svelte" rear bumpers.

I've always been a little jealous.

no shit, I didn't even notice that.

Yeah they are a different design, it also means that the tip of the Cp-e exhaust pokes out abut 1 1/2" from the bumper lol.

I've heard guys over here say they want your rear bumper cause of the reflectors on the side haha. Always want what the other guy has...

[Gibbo]

Few new photos recently;









Starting to get into the whole light painting thing if it wasn't obvious

Love the technique and the results.

Thoughts and feedback/constructive criticism on my photography is more than welcome please!

Thanks guys. It's coming along nicely.

More cosmetic mods planned for this year, as well as power (wmi and E85 tune, maybe a exhaust manifold) so interested to see where it takes me.

Hoping to go out and take a few pics this week, will post up when I can!

Cheers.

New mod,

Built a diffuser!








I'm going to round the points of the fins slightly, as I think it'll give it a more "finished" look, but pretty happy with how it looks!

This is how the base plate fits/sits without the fins.



Goes right to the subframe, but with cut outs leaving access to the camber adjustment bolts.

What did you use to make the plate?

The base plate and fins are made from Aluwedo

Aluminum Composite Panel & Composite Materials - Sign Materials - Alupanel | MultiPanelUK

It's an aluminium plastic composite, quite rigid, and pretty light for it's thickness.
Easy to work with too.

[Gibbo]

Got me some side skirt love as well as an sti front lip. Knew I'd give into one one day

Just phone pictures for now, hopefully better pictures later this week or next.


Ugly angle of know but looks great irl ^^









Compliments the rear diffuser nicely!

At high speeds you'll catch a lot of air under that rear plate/diffuser. You may need to drill some holes in the back spoiler or that lower lip ornament...
