Default My Bug Eye- A few visual mods

Had my car now for getting on three years. I needed new tyres, so used the opportunity to get new wheels. I have made a few other subtle changes too.

Looked like this last year:


Now looks like this, hope you like it.... for a Bug Eye

Haven't tried to be original, just really like the Inovite Gun Metal alloys.

Cheers guys.

Mr Incredible, I see blue is growing on you

Silver is so YESTERDAY

Just need to persuade the missus that window tints and a remap are in some way beneficial to the family

Window tints will hold the glas together protecting the children in the event of a smash.. the remap is just part of a routine service

Nice car

Glass technically is a liquid and not a solid, so the tinting film will help holding it all together

The fog light covers are part of the prodrive style bumper. I think you would have to get the complete bumper mate. Going off what I have read on here though, they are like rocking horse sh*t to get hold of.

Cheers

I'm flabbergasted !

A bug eye and so far no slagging off

Cheers. Just need to get the geometry rechecked now to ensure everything is how it should be.

Looks good although I can't help wondering what your inspiration was for changing to those wheels!!
Have you ordered a set of the Prodrive centre caps for the wheels yet? Should finish them off a treat!

Brakes are fine (no worse than OE). I have DS2500 on them with the EBC grooved & drilled discs. I had the red stuff on them, but too damn noisy due to the grooves. I am quite happy with this combination.

Cheers
