Well here is a pic of my S14 when I first bought it back in Nov last year it had done just over 55k and looked a bit on the chav side tbh, it had a load of stickers plastered all over it, on the bodywork, the windows, bloody eveywhere!!!, not to mention a stuffed gearbox and diff:

A quick update of how my ride is looking : changed my mind about a couple of bits, decided on standard wheels and more of a "sleeper look" so previous image of how its going to look has been binned.

You really need some skirts, and spats to go with that bumper or it looks a bit silly.
Very clean and tidy, you must have been putting some elbow grease into that.

Some better alloys would make the world of difference too.

Keep at it mate.

Got some s14a skirts all painted and ready to fit and have some spats ordered for the rear. :thumbs:

Going to buy some Rotas next year but gonna leave the standards on for now to keep in with the sleeper look.....they do look a lot better with the spacers on though as I was worried they wouldn't fill the arches not to mention the extra 30mm allows for bigger discs meaning more stopping power! :D

Was going to ask if you had spacers. Yes they do look loads better. Sounds like you have good plan, it will look very smart.
