hehe as some already suggested i will make a sort of on going project for the fto.

First part of the project when i brought the fto was to clean the radiator coz it was pretty dirty and was starting to feel the heat at some points.

second up the to buy a scraped fto to replace the missing bits i currently dont have in the fto... also started adding some staff such as the read lights that came as a bonus with the scraped fto.

i would also like to point out that the former owner had already done some mods to the fto

Ok small update on what i done this week on the car..

bought and installed 2 blade wipers which are wayyyyy better then the onces i had
got the alarm system installed which was a Christmas present from the misses
did some small windscreen tinting because i could not stand it getting into my eyes..

and finally the biggest part. after having spent more then an hr to dismantle the tein coil overs for the scraped fto..... i started cleaning them removing the surface rust and everything so hopefully be the end of next week i will be dismantling the rear end of the car (wheels mainly) installing the coil overs which will be done in metalic blue. install new disk brakes and pad. while spraying the caliper red and the wheel arch in black if needed

It would be different and make it your own.
At the end of the day there will be ppl that like it and others will not. So it comes down to if you like it, if so go for it.

I think it would ruin what looks to be a nice car... But hey, just me..

I am sure I have done things to my car that others don't like, but as Aza said.. That makes it mine... :)

So white on one side, black on the other, with a wavy grey line separating them?

Precisely my thoughts :lol:


In all seriousness, I think it's a bit too Need For Speed for me... It would throw the look of the FTO off-balance and would just be a general eye sore :?
