Hi guys, I got a new toy to play with.
Deep sea blue n55 dct .Bought her three weeks ago from kunene brothers in sandton with 39 k on the clock( advertised with 36k)

The day I collected her

A week later I tried on 1m reps in size 19

Didn't like the way the wheel sat or maybe the tyre profile wasn't comfy on the eye so took them of.

 

[Magneto]

Agree with you. The stock ones look MUCH better.

 

[Hubblyking]

So the journey begins with visual mods. Found a 1 m replica bumper with performance grilles on the forum, h8 led bulbs for the parks and performance bootspoiler. Sprayed the carbon spoiler and grill matt black . The bumper got fresh coat of paint and some matt black on the splitter section. Then I opted for 20 inch vossen cvt(reps)35 offset front and 40 offset rear.

Also added m striping on the grill

Awesome bud, 1M bumper really gives in an aggressive look :cartel:

Hows the ride on the 20's?

The ride is basically the same compared to the stock wheels with Runflats.The only problem is the lips has no protection

Looking great man!
Why did the lights not work? Not from a Xenon equipped car?

Yes I got it from a non xenon car.Did you sell your lights?

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

yeah that's the problem there. The non-xenons don't have the LEDs in them unlike the pre-LCI where both had LED's in the rear lights.
Mine are long gone unfortunately chap
