Few touches to the Red Devil :D
 
was such a lovely, finally had the time to do some work to the car!

started with the easiest first, put my site stickers on (big thanks to Gamble = legend :D) and then hoover the car.
needed to lay down all the cabling for my car pc so go on with that! also amped up my front components, my sound system sounds so much better!
the sub is only temp, until i can afford a decent one, but boy does it boom!

also got a decent pic since my accident, smooooooooooth :hooray:

just need to sort out the top mesh, but bumpstrips and indicators smoothed in

wheres the boot gone. lol you better be careful with the rear number plate as they are ment to be lit up

Shafz 27-01-08 08:22 PM

ah had no bother with the number plate light, the headlights behind light it up pretty well anyway ;)
the boot is a smooth one from a mk2 ZR.
oh and iv been stopped a fair few times and not once has the light been mentioned hehe BUT i bought a mini motocycle one off ebay, gnna fit that next weekend

the software i use is ICT terminal. its a freeware software. its just an interface so f you click on the satnav feature it opens what ever satnav program you have got installed, in my car used navigator 6. just bought a cheap gps reciever off ebay and it worked a treat!

Southern Storm 27-01-08 10:52 PM

Oh talking of which......

can you update the swear filter? you need to put f***ed in as well as a few others ;) I could opt not to swear......but its not half as much fun......and its all in character with me........I do swear a lot.

Do you guys realise EMS Ltd have now got a swear box down the garage?? I dunno how much I owed in a week but I think its nigh on £80 :sad: the b*****ds!
