now the car has passed its MOT, and will be about for the next year, its time to mod!

Initial thoughts (based around what I have available at the moment)

1. Upper/Lower Grille block

2. Front undertray- engine bay is currently open

3. Lower the front, as car is currently nose high

4. Fit smaller mirrors (m3 style)

5. Remove Roof Rails

6. Centre belly pan
Hello! The template is not lined up properly yet. Find the highest point in the roof line and match it to the template's high point. This might mean that the template "line" will track through your cars aft roofline.

Undertrays get wide support here. Mirror deletes are more debatable. Grill blocks are good (keep an eye on temps. Make sure your early efforts at mods are completely reversible... you'll want a redo sometimes and you don't want to have drill holes all over the body!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
