      @@matt13ross It's quite worrying how much effort and money the previous owner spent on this car to make it look and run so bad, they must have had money because the car and all the "mods" are not cheap , just incredibly poor taste. I'd love to know what they did with the OEM rear lights, probably binned them going by the decisions they made on the rest of the car.

  • @pieterverboven4853
    @pieterverboven4853 Před rokem

    Extremely satisfying video Matt. Congrats so far. Now please go the extra mile and give the seats some love as well. Colour lock has amazing products which help to get the leather back to as good as new condition and get rid of that greasy shine. 1) Clean of grease and dirt 2) Dye the faded and worn areas and 3) Close off with conditioning and sealing the leather and be left with a nice matt (..) finish. As long as there are no rips in the leather the result will amaze you and will be well worth your time spent. And as others suggestes, the tails should be swapped for the OEM white-red. Personally I’d prefer the OEM Turbo wheels in silver as well but that is really a minor detail.
