Well had the car resprayed in a metallic black pearl.(goes greeny/brown in the sun....door shuts inside the boot lid .....all was sprayed apart from the engine bay.....(cheap is not the word.....it pays to be in the trade)...had the bodykit blended in also...I was told this took ages .....extreeeeeeeeemly happy with the results:Giggle ...pictures taken on phone and really don\'t do it justice at all......
just got to get a couple more trick bits done next week and its time for a remap........are you there JAY??????:cool
Well... considering how stunningly beautiful it looked with phone pics, i can\'t wait to see it with a good camera..
Great car... just bought a rex myself :D

Looking good Ed, go on then make my jaw drop how cheap??
You guy\'s look like your just about ready. I\'m a bit behind, currently rebuilding my dead motor.
Great looking car mate and good chose of colour
Like the 500 bhp sticker, very subtle :)
Adam
Cheers for the comments people.
Adam....put that there so I wouldn\'t get bothered by the chav\'s trying their luck...true figure but put on the car as a deterent mainly...(also don\'t wanna rag it and start getting too many stonechips........as its flawless at the moment!)
Brian......£950:chat
Ed - i\'m coming to see you for a paint job!
Does the tuned by JayDee sticker add more power? ;)
Looking good mate.
Fish
Awsome.....thats all i can say bruv now its done... TAKE :burnout HER OUT>>> :D
Fish at least 20 brake:Giggle
Cheers
Looks well nice Ed. Hoping to make it to RS to see everyone\'s motors. Hoping mines back on the road then but as a completely standard UK FD I don\'t think it will be drawing much attention!
Amazing price on the respray mate!
G
Very nice Ed Looks well good .... and Dam thats cheap .
Best you bring it to the Essex meet with Dre and the EL boyez :mmmm
john,......El boyez????
cheers for the comments...but I will try and get some better pics up...with at least a 1 megapix camera...coz the paintwork is magic!!...Only problem is I don\'t wanna spoil it....but once its cherry has popped i just won\'t care.
Lushous!-Only seeing it the flesh will do it justice
Out of interest, i\'m getting my red-un reprayed end of June in metallic red pearl-not sure of exact top lacquer yet.
Nice job! :Thumbs-up
Sweet car ed, look forward to seeing it at RS. :)

You know Dre, Laeeq and all you other JD animals [EL = East London]
Very sweet looking job.
Look forward to seeing it at RS3.
Rich :Thumbs-up
Awesome, love the way the kit\'s blended in. Looks like it just rolled out the factory! Hurry and get some decent pics up man!!!
Loving the stickers by the way! Although i\'m a little dubious as to whether the 500bhp one will serve it\'s purpose. I suspect your average chav will only harass you more upon spying it, in the hope of seeing 500bhp let loose!!
Better Pics As Promised. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME GET THESE SMALLER? SO I CAN POST. CHEERS
send them to me at gmogle@yahoo.com and I\'ll put them through photoshop and photobucket for you.

Thanks to the guys at reworx for the help and stuff in getting things sorted for me and of course to my tuner JAYDEE for his vast knowledge and expertise.
Dynoed at Reworx last week with a basic tune from JEFF/MAX just to get me home ..made 425 RWHP at one 1.2....
Then Jaydee breathed his magic on it and and fine tuned it. Took out about 20-30% of the fuel and the car now feels ridiculously Quick...must be at least 440-450 at the weels now.......oh.. and I upped boost to 1.3 and I still have standard power steering and the air con and water pump and 73 % injector duty....(should I go 1.5..hmmmmmmmmm)!:2eek :burnout
Thats my lot now...just goona enjoy the damn thing:WaveBye
Ed
Lol my email account is now 30 meg higher than earlier today
Great looking car and nice pics mate,
Gareth
A very nice example no doubt, but please remove the "500 bhp" vinyls as makes it a little chav me thinks buddy.
Love to see this paint work in the flesh as looks brill in pics :god
don\'t worry Gurj they will be coming off...I really put them there to hide a slight bodywork imperfection....which will be sorted in a couple of weeks:mmmm

Gmogle the tank is the think with the yellow top in the engine bay.
Looks slick :)

Quote from: Nick23wow looking good dude ! How would you rate the wilwoods ?
i driven quite a few supercars and i would say it brakes as well as a porsche turbo/ferrari 360 if not better....but only slightly less than a gallardo....but in saying that they probably still bedding in!:p
very smooth and classy!
Is that a Coolingmist pump I spy in the engine bay ? :)
I saw a tank just like that one on eBay - wasn\'t you that outbid me ?
Paint finish is really good - subtle. Nice one.
