Done some styling to the Evo

by nikp » Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:03 pm

I recently decided that my front lights were a bit chavvy looking with the chrome surrounds, so did a bit of styling work to them.

Before:

After:

I'm really chuffed with the look. I'm now wondering whether the intercooler should be sprayed up too, for that dark and menacing look. what do people think?

Yup, gotta get the grill all done, but then i think i will get the intercooler all sprayed matt black too. For that mean, stealthy, aggressive front end.

Apparently the rear lights are a nightmare to split apart. Still, gonna look it up and see what i can do (Hate the Lexus light look, and the MR Evo cames with black backed lights as standard)

Oh, you might have to give me his details!

Just ordered some carbon products for it now. Carbon vortex generator, carbon side skirt extensions and carbon front splitter. Also got a 3" mid pipe so i can get the power up to 400bhp. Whoop! Can't wait. Looking at next tuesday/wedsnesday for delivery.
