just bought some u.s bumper side marker lights and new u.k rub strip for a bit of bodging so it will hopefully end up looking something like this
but mine are clear, although i did want amber for some reason
think i may lean towards the u.s/gli look. but next priority are the lights.
looking at gli rears and splitting and spraying some standard head lights black, to gove a smoked effect. Not really very keen on any of the other options available.
this is my favourite atm

rub strip has arrived still waiting for the side markers, just dispatched from the states today.
also getting some red floor mats and gear gaitor for inside, trying to get that looking a bit better and some other small plans too.
hopefully i will get pics when its all done, but a bit busy to sort it all atm

well, decided against fitting the u.s spec sidelights as i've changed what route i want to go down. But i have bought an r32 steering wheel, always wanted one ever since i got the car, but they either went out of my price range or i got outbid in the final seconds. but anyway its getting sent out on monday and i hope to have it fitted by next week
then after that i may move onto the engine i think. even though its pretty pointless but looking at a k&n typhoon induction kit and uprated engine mounts which apparently helps a bit
may try and get some pics up of any small progress tomorow after ive given it a good clean
oh and heres some pics from when it was spaced out, which sadly didnt work out

Well, after looking around for a while ive finally bought some new headlights! my standard ones are a bit messed up and are really letting the car down, so after seeing, and hating, lots of angel eyes and being too lazy to spray a set up myself, ive bought some depo ones. Coming from the States so not sure when ill get them but hopefully wont be too long anyway
also still waiting to get some lamin-x film for my rear lights, which i think i sat at the post office atm
but pics when fitted anyway

RHD, contacted them and they said it was fine, just state it in the order.
gun smoke, so hopefully all lights will look better in the near future, then i think i may need new side repeaters?

The cars made a lot of progress this month, so far:
+Fitted my new headlights
+Finally got my steering wheel fitted! (thanks to stueyb :thumbs
+Bought and fitted smoked side repeaters
+Bought a rear cup holder
+Finally received my gun smoke lamin-x film to do the clear part on my tail lights
Just a few pics with the new headlights, will get some more tommorow and pics of the steering wheel and side reps
Plans for the future:
R32 pedals and foot rest
HIDs
Maybe black badges?
Keep looking at r32 seats too
