Nice one matey , looks wicked, you must be chuffed. We need to get together and get some pics done black feed/white feed.

:Thumbsup!

Aye sounds like a plan :) I also have the undertray fitted as well but you can\'t see that....just got to get the front arches done and front canards once I\'ve got a wing.

I\'m starting to regret selling my carbon sills now they look wicked fitted :(

Great looking car.....no need for a wing though...take the stock one off and see if you like it barearsed mate.....would be perfect from me then.

Good luck :D

I like the sills too, just adds something down the side without being too obtrusive.

Dave, not sure on the barearsed look but it\'ll get a look see before I get the wing so I\'ll see :)

Oh, where did you get the RE-A Pro diffuser carbon center fins from without the bowtech generators? I am after a set but was told they only come with the side bowtech thingies.

I want that bonnet ! Is it an original or a Shine one ? the fit looks good.

Very nice pics :) I also want that bonnet! Maybe we need a Feed FD meeting!

You can get the centre generator from shine but they don\'t do it in carbon any more. Mine is just FRP and I haven\'t even got it painted. I was contemplating buying some real carbon covering but figured it\'d be too expensive so will probably just get painted black.

Hi Paul,

Well done mate, you have really taken her to another grade! Was hoping to see it at RS4 but never mind. Hope to see it at another event soon as its looking really well.

That white feed front and side skirts look sweet.  The bumper can do with a under lip in black:wiggle :Thumbs-up

I bought the car with all the bits on and they are all genuine feed items. I even have the feed carbon door handles, signiture series mats, gearknob, gaiters, carbon plenum cover.....the list is huge! It used to have the feed GT V.1 wing but it was stolen. Next im buying the feed canards, feed carbon door sills, feed front fenders and maybe the rear ones. My rear diffuser is the genuine RE-A Pro carbon one but i don\'t want the bowtech thingies. Might have to manufacture my own! :Tongue1

Post by: Colin on October 27, 2007, 10:41:08 AM
Stunning car:InLove , what exhaust is that? Also where do you buy the sills and how do they fit on the car?
 
Thanks

guys do you mind if i ask where you got your lights from and how much you paid.  i have been looking for ages now :(
Title: Pics with new bits fitted...
Post by: Bulla on October 27, 2007, 12:01:06 PM
We both got the lights and covers from Newera, forget what they cost now but not cheap, but then FEED never is. If I remember correctly the lights with the covers were just over £300.

Bulla, how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking :)

pm me if you like.

im searching thier website as i have done before but with no joy
Title: Pics with new bits fitted...
Post by: probedb on October 27, 2007, 12:27:06 PM
Ahem....about £320 all in....expensive but they look sooo much nicer than the 99-spec ones on that bumper :)

Colin, the exhaust is from SMB in Australia (all stainless, 3" piping with a 4" titanium tip) and the sills are from shineauto. They can be bought through Gary @ RotaryArt now. They\'re basically just screwed underneath....I\'m not 100% happy with where they\'re sat but when Kev fitted them we couldn\'t stand back and see what they were like so might get Kev to move them at some point :)

You need the Type II R Bumper as well to fit them.

It\'s easy to spot, the Type IIR is more curved along the bottom of the bumper than the Type II....hopefully this shows the difference....you can see it in the red circles and also the bottom of the IIR is curved upwards in the middle....pic has Type II top pic and Type IIR bottom pic.

THANK YOU!  :cheers :Laugh

ive been trying to spot the difference but my plan was to measure the 99 spec lights against my bumpr etc, anyhoo looks like i have the type II

No more feed lights then :rolleyes:

saves me a bundle though.

thanks for your help mate. will post some pictures after the car is complete.

(bumper, lights, bonnet, wing, wheels) :D

Hi, i am just about to get a set of kei d1\'s 18x8.5 18x9.5 like urself what offsets did you use?
Title: Pics with new bits fitted...
Post by: probedb on November 25, 2007, 04:01:13 PM
They only come in 1 offset for each wheel size....fronts (8.5) are 32mm and rear (9.5) are 35mm and they do look nice :)
