It's been a while since I've posted some proper pics of my R53 JCW with all the changes I've made to it so thought it's about time I put them up here.

It's still a work in progrss but hope you like it:

Things I've had done since I last posted pics are:

DP Coilovers lowered 25mm at the moment but want to go abit lower

Custom De-chromed rear lights

Fitted the JCW Carbon Fibre Dash

Carbon Fibre Aero Roof Spoiler

Carbon Fibre Fuel Cap

Nice one, cheers Floof. I've got abit of a car cleaning/detailing fetish tbh, just ask Sef on here..... last time I met up with him at a mini meet earlier this month he said that he doesn't think he's ever seen her looking dirty! :lol:
It's just so hard to keep clean what with the weather we have at the moment.... sunny, raining, sunny, raining! Does my head in! :sad:

What a lovely looking R53!
Sorry for being a bit of a newbie, the picture where the 'flap' is removed, what actually is this that's removed, from where and what's the difference?

Did you get the colour coding done yourself, if so would you mind saying how much it set you back, really improves the look and I'd be interested in doing it!

Thanks in advance!

It's a JCW airbox which normally comes with an electronic flap that opens at a set amount of revs to give off more supercharger noise, but on MT we simply rip the flap and electronics out for constant supercharger noise and valuable grams of weight saving.

Perfectly answered! Thanks! Hahaha, "valuable grams", I'm sure it makes a huge amount of difference!
