In three years the only thing to change on my car has been the engine bay.  :oops:

When completed and SVA'd in 2009 it looked like this.

2010 just a few cosmetic changes and a coolant re-route

Then a good dose of chrome and some carbon for 2011 :cool:

Slight bump, but remembered about this thread after taking some pics today.

Here is the 'then':

And the 'now':

And the obligatory 'arty' shot...

Changes you can see:

- GRP seats

- Aeroscreen

- Group buy CXR wheels

- Fresh set of tyres

- Home made mud flaps (bit of 1mm HDPE)

And those you can't:

- Home-made front ARB

- Quaife LSD

- Tweaked rear spring weight (usually run 2-up)

Just been out for a blast and the car felt as awesome as last time I drove it :) Can't wait for this year's track days!
