Small update, recently got some Sportivo seats for the front, and gee they are a big improvment over the Altise ones! Unfountantly the wrecker the I got them from, the car didnt have the bottom part of the back seat, so i didnt worry about it, for now. Also finaly took the VVT-i badges off the sides

Still needs more low

I know, one day!

Those front seats look good. Lets see if i can find them at the wreckers.

Thanks. I geuss the other issue is finding a good set, these ones were rather dirty, but cleaned up ok.

are they really that comfy :o

-i thought sportivo seats come in black :x ?

Well they are just alot more supportive.

The Sportivo 5.5 are black, and there is a difrance between 4 cyl and 6, the main being the 4cyl has no air bag, and the V6 does.

Nothing major, but just some new QFM HPX pads and DBA rotors. Less than impressed by the pads, but will give them a bit longer to prove themselves.

Definition of clean and simple build right here. The simplicity of the modifications done to your car make it cleanly beautiful, two thumbs up mate :) I plan to do the same thing with my one. Just gotta say I love the exhaust note of your car, it is spot on!

Also if you come across another one of those grilles please let me know! Or whenever its my turn in line :whistling:

Haha nice car mate :)
