Yellow, just to be daringly different.

 

I am with aquanuke, I think they are to small to do anything but black. If you have a big brake kit like he has it looks great with any colour.

I did mine black while fitting the Megans.

Yes mate I painted them myself You can get the caliper paint from Halfords and buy the decals of ebay for a couple of pounds.
All done for around a £10

 

That's why I would only paint them black. If he were doing a BBK, red would be nice.

 

+1 for Black

 

Is your interior saddle??? I'd do BBK orange and leave the old tails with orange reflector. But the kit still needs modifying. I'd actually save my time and do vertex side and rear with the CF splitter up front to make things easier..

Keep the OEM black.. Even my ls400 calipers are bigger then the sc430 OEM but still think they are too small for color

 

Interior is black
I not longer the tail orange reflector. It was removed, filled in and so my tail is plain.

Im sorry, I have googled but cant seem to work out what a cf splitter is, perhaps a link to an image ?




aquanuke Cheers for the link, if u are free on sat, wanna meet and the new improved car after restorers and longlife

 

Sat or Sunday should be good, is your exhaust as loud as mine

 

i would do a purple.. looks sick!

 

+4 for black with white decals

This is a under splitter. Theres all kinds of different shapes. Custom cuts and what not. Of course you'd have to custom cut yours to make it look right for that particular bumper

 

That would be our splitter! The size is 65.5" x 18" Hope that helps!

 

Hi tsachiti

Does the fact you mentioned Longlife mean you are getting your exhaust made by them.
I had mine done at Longlife in St Albans and I am very pleased with it. I have loads of pictures of the install if you would like me to post some of them on here. May give you some idea's.

Best regards
Steve

 

Hi Steve,

Yes I will be going to long life for some custom exhausts this weekend. I have googled, there is a lot of info online but none of it relates to SCs. I would be very grateful for any pics or additional information I can have before getting the exhausts installed.

Thank you

 

Hi Will

The guy I used at Longlife was brilliant. I sent him a couple of youtube links of the exhaust sound I wanted and he said it would be 'no problem, after all we are talking a V8 to start with'.
I spent a full 6 hours with him trying different boxes mocked up to get the sound I wanted. He knew what to use right from the start, it was really my decision of how LOUD I wanted it.
He started with two straight through boxes where the original resonators were and it could have been piped all the way back to the tips, but after trying different mock ups, I decided to extra small boxes in just behind the tips sounded better.

Be warned though, you might not like the drone at low speeds, but I love it.
As I said on a post here before 'I would rather listen to the exhaust note than the stereo'.

Add the Injen as I have and it is just brilliant.
