this is the part where the car gets intresting
i bought another 2011 ISF to replace my black 2009 ISF
whlie the black car was on the market to sell the white ISF got totaled in 3 weeks of ownership
bought the car back from insurance and walah reshelling began.



the original motor out of the 2009 was donated to my race car (as the race car had some motor issues)

after about 6 months, working on the car after work or when ever i can
i finished my ISF converting it into a full MY11 using MY09 chassis

whilst i was busy with the car
more parts were bought
Novel Headers

KW V3s

Cf steering wheel

Figs sussy bits



at this point i was so obssed in getting the car to immaculate condition i bought various bits and pieces from the stealership
New front end (guard bonnet bar)
New clips and bolts for the whole front end of the car
New badges
New seals
New door sills and door seals
New rear bar and boot

every single part of the car was taken apart and degreased and polished
and treated again
sorry i dont have much pics as it was a long painful process
But this is how shen stands now

MY11 Nav and MY 11 ML system
headlight work full OEM with MY11 cluster system
no error codes nothing since the car was converted 100%
using all MY 11 wiring harness and computers out of the MY11

but infact it doesnt
