Bekende auto Robbert? 

Black Gold meets Sharon.  Aangenaam! Hope you had a nice day Barry yours is definitely an eye catcher.

Zo de combinatie met de wielen 19"en de auto ziet er super uit Barry.  Eerlijk is eerlijk, een hele mooie combinatie zo.

Wat doe jij met je linkervoet tijdens het rijden?

I thought I might take a trip down memory lane. Its been 3 years since June 2006 when I took ownership of a Saffron C70 T5, my dream car since the age of 14 and I started my journey into modding.

The first week of owning the car, I had the front and rear bumpers painted because they were in pretty bad shape





October 2006, the first set of mods started to come onto the car. I wanted a lower stance, better handling and more grunt from the exhaust.



- Bilstein Yellow shocks
- IPD springs
- TME exhaust system
- IPD/Cherrywood strut brace





The exhaust was a little deeper but, not by much The IPD springs didn't lower the car as much as I had hoped

February 2007 came, and not being able to wait till I saved enough money, I also started making the car more my own by doing simple and cheap/free mods by;
- Debadging the rear
- Making a custom magnetic trunk lock cover
- IPD aluminum mesh grille
- headlight eyelids, which I customized a month later



April 2007 The rims would need an update as 17" Canistos became sooo 1998, thus came the 19" Pegasus rims in "black" chrome (shiny silver):









June 2007 Custom wheel centers:

Then came 6000K 35W HID's:



Tried out LED H3 bulbs which ended up sucking



February 2008 Another wave of mods came in





- 15mm and 25mm spacers front and rear
- IPD door lock pins
- IPD SR5T Ram air kit
- ScanGaugeII ODBII reader
- IPD upper engine mount
- IPD transmission brace and mount

The spacers gave a the car a great look, but the tires rubbed like crazy, so I had no passengers in the back seats for a long while.





May 2008 CF parts and stuff



At some point I attempted Audi style LED headlights:



These didn't last long either as the LED's started to break and burn out, plus I started seeing them on other crap cars so I removed them. In doing so however, I peeled off the chrome from the headlight bezel, so I removed all the chrome and painted them black, only to then match the corners with aftermarket ones.

June 2008, 19" Pegs get a custom look for 50 bucks because I'm not fan of bling unless its under the hood





June 2009, a year later, the mat look had to go and along with newly painted rims, came the third and current wave of mods:

- KW v.2 coilovers
- MSD Blater ignition coil
- Magnecor cables
- Denso power spark plugs
- Custom a-pillar pods
- Custom TME exhaust
- Painted brake calipers and wheel hubs

The rest is history

Just for comparison...









and still a looooong way to go

Nice samenvatting!
