Hey guys,

I\'m sure some of you knew but for those who didn\'t i have been collecting parts over the past months to fit to my EGI to bring it up to the looks of the TII. Finally got them all and then it was off to Interlopers for a fresh paint job and to have the parts fitted.

This man does not waste any time at all. He started on the car straight away and has been nice enough to take some process pictures for us all.

Enjoy the work so far.. I will post more up as i get them. :)

P.S. - Please excuse the dirt! haha.. It was a long drive..

Cheers man! :)

You can\'t see it in the pics but it has the turbo scoop.. which is awesome because the sticker says "NA".. haha. I\'m getting a sticker soon to put under the scoop which will say "Insert Turbo".. haha.

It will look pretty bad ass.

The wheels are sooo nice. Pics don\'t do them justice though.. they look a lot smaller in the pics.

Looks like a decent job is going to be done there :)

The car is still going to be white in colour.. but i wanted all the new parts to match so it made sense to get a full respray..

The roof... ahhh the roof.. man, don\'t even get me started. Honestly, i think ill end up doing my vinyl idea.. either that or saw the roof off..

looks awesome, i also can\'t wait :D

though have you thought about gettin some strectched tyres on those wheels, think it would improve the look quite a bit

That would look pretty bad ass.. when they are clean and shiney you do kinda look stretched though.. nothing extreme but you can tell they had to be forced on! :) hehe

Looks like your having a lot of fun with your FC mate. Can I ask how much the respray is costing you? Thinking of getting mine done at some point but figured its really expencive.
I don\'t need to upgrade my stock turbo to beat your ass!

oh i see. From the pics because the rims are quite deep dish they don\'t look stretched at all. A closer look reveals all though :D

Some more pics for you guys.. Sadly the TII front bumper doesn\'t fit straight onto an EGI so Craig has had to mod the front splitter to fit onto the EGI bumper.. he is also going to cut away at the grill a bit to try give it a unique look since the TII one wouldn\'t fit (Thanks dude! :) )

The boy is a legend.. hats off to you dude. :)

It should do, People have been hotswapping them for years. The only thing you need to do is remove the S4 Support/Crushbar thingy and directly swap it for one from a series 5 as they are different.
