After 3 weeks of ownership I thought I'd post some proper pics as I haven't done that yet !!!

So far I have upgraded the sound system with the Audison PRIMA 163 (2 subs, 2 Meds, 2 Tweeters) leaving everything else as it is The sound is much much better but would benefit from an AMP.

Went for Stubby Aerial (I don't know why !! )

Partly debaged it.

I am looking to get the calipers painted and I am between BLACK or GOLD ??!!!! Any suggestions are welcome !!

Very nice. You'll need to save up now for non run flat tyres, othewise you run a high risk of cracks by 40k miles

Looking good....have you considered LCI Side Indicators? About £100 the pair and 10 mins to fit. Big improvement IMO.

Indicators already replaced with the LCI ones :D

Next step will be painting the calipers and I am going for gold !

I am thinking of covering the front bumper lower grilles with chrome Stainless steel mesh, it will brings out the definition of the sport bumper which is hard to see in the black. (Can always take them off if I don't like it)

KERMIT1970, have you got painted brake calipers ? any chance of some close up pics please ?

Couldn't be further from your colour and wheels but I found the gold worked quite well with my calipers.

If your having them done professionally they could be very impressive :thumbsup:

Hi OP - from your photos I think you may only be 5 or 6 miles from me (I'm in Sandhurst).

On the topic of brake colour I'd probably go for Red or Yellow given the colour of your car, but blue would also stand out pretty well.

Whatever you do go for I hope you are pleased with the results!
Coupes because stunning!
