Thanks Guys , first mod that had to happen was to change the yellow angel eyes to led white. Mo from Auto Accessorize fitted me a set of Phillips LED globes with cancelers and below is the results.

They are the Phillips Xtreme dual side LED globe and cost was R 2200 with free installation. Highly recommend this option as there are cheaper options but the brightness on this is very noticeable

What's the cost for the lights Mod?


Second Mod currently already underway . Wrapping the roof and mirrors in gloss black. Blacking out the grills and all badges and slight laminate on all lights. Updates will follow within the week :thumbs::thumbs:

Status Update 2 :

So I love the wheels but wasnt happy with the look from the rear, felt it looked too tame and not aggressive enough. So headed to Domingo's for custom 25mm aluminum spacers with a lip suited for the wheel and extended bolts. Worked like a charm and no shudder or vibration. Then to TWT for nitrogen and high speed balancing and alignment.

Whilst the spacers were being manufactured I got them to clean the disks and calipers with a metal brush and then a coat of hi heat silver spray paint.

The high heat paint on the hub is a great way to reduce rust. I used the Rustoleum one (meant for fireplaces & braais) on my car, and it works like a charm!
