Yeah they do look good not sure what the plans are with the kit at this moment

[Chriscooke]

Kouki spoiler and possibly a roof spoiler would finish it off imo

[tonibastin]

If an admin see's this could you please correct the spelling of "sapphire" in the title of the thread thanks!!

Edit: figured it out! Sorted .

[Neelie]

Needs a Kouki spoiler and a SRB rear underspoiler to make it look spot on

The autech grill is such a Win! 😊

I would say that - I'm biased lol.

You're the only other person i have seen with a Genuine Autech one in the whole of the UK

Haha thanks! Thinking of selling it soon though as got new bumpers on the way , how much do they usually go for ?

[ryry92]

I was offered £110 for mine, don't sell it!

[tonibastin]

I'm not sure I'm a massive fan!! Going to see which one looks better standard or autech against the new bumper

If you want to sell your front bumper and don't have a buyer yet I'd be very interested

Finally got the car on the road on Friday night ! So yesterday we got it sat abit lower on the new wheels! Fitted a decat pipe wich gives the nur spec a deep aggresive note . Also tucked the loom as much as possible, dewipered the rear and fitted an oem grille .






More progress soon

Did you sell your Autech grill yet then?



Looks cool

Time for a very over dew update lol. Been very busy on the car getting it ready for japfest and get the car how I want it!

Firstly I got a genuine kouki bumper and greddy grace lip courtesy of SRB. Both of wich needed cutting to suit the intercooler and piping behind the bumper.






The bumper was cut and ready before the splitter arrived from Japan so sent the bumper for paint. Got it back and fitted and trial fitted and cut the splitter



Whilst the splitter was being painted I recieved the kouki rear bumper and spats and spoiler back from paint and got them fitted right away




And the weekend after the splitter was ready and fitted!




I love it! Amongst all of this the front arches where and inner arches attended to in order to run low with minimal rubbing.



And then it was time for japfest prep. No photos other than a picture of the sapphire blue



Such an incredible colour in the light!

Next up was japfest and a local show the day after SWAS.

Looks awesome, makes me want to full Kouki mine!

would love to run a ride height that low but got a driveway thats too steep. how did you find running air? tempted by one of those air lift performance kits.
