quick snap of my engine bay which was a site to see, but not as good as when i finished with it :D
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1326.jpg)
i then removed the engine and painted all dulled bits back to original silver and added a bit of flair to the bay
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1348.jpg)
then ordering a custom intake to give it that sparkle!
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1378.jpg)
after seeing my rear and front brakes i decided to upgrade to slotted and grooved rotors and a new set of bigger 330mm front brembos ( which i havent installed any of yet) SO i did a temp job and repainted them
before

after

even after after ( alfa heat resistant stickers)
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1431.jpg)
gave the car a full clay bar,polish etc
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1414.jpg)
then after much deliberation i decided the engine bay wasnt done and needed to match
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1445.jpg)
i then bought a strut brace which came in red so i made my own little twist
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1468.jpg)
alfa stickers too
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1469.jpg)
followed by a colour matched repaint
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1470.jpg)
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1475.jpg)
the now almost finished engine bay ( i have new blue silicone hoses to go in)
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1476.jpg)
getting near the current date had ordered a Supersprint rear unsilenced centre pipe and backbox shown next to the original parts
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1549.jpg)
also then got coilovers and lowered her
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/IMG_1612.jpg)
(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii635/cas155/My%20147%20GTA/403567_10150824538590911_608760910_10193016_342038 %20875_n.jpg)
in the process now of having the discs zinc plated to prevent rust and keep them looking brand new!

It's looking great Adrian - thanks for sharing. Love the blue colour - not as common as silver!
Ditto, love the GTA in Blue.
I wasn't sure on the colour at first but now I love it! So happy with it can't wait to finish my mods have the new manifolds and downpipes going in shortly then a new dash fascia and GPS nav system in the car and I shall be ready to bring it to club days!
Nice work mate. Looks beautiful, and loving the nice but subtle mods.

Hey joe I have worked hard!'i have seen that video before to be honest I don't like the carbon fibre look compared to standard but the performance gains in that new one is probably worth it !
Sadly she is for sale due to bigger things !
