Default berlin's progress

i got my car in august of 2012 and here is her progress
when i 1st got her


i quickly started to change little things one of the 1st things i did was get a new knob

then i went a head and bought a new oem lip

after that it was a custom exhaust set up

coilovers came in

decided i wanted a red interior


decided to paint the oem wheels white while i was redoing my seats

car ended up like this with the downforce lip and side canards



my other red interior bits came in but didn't match up to the red color of the seats

so i was s.o.l i will eventually get a red center console
i then got oem stakes for a price i couldn't refuse

at this point i got new wheels

and a pic of how it looked


new rotiform sticker from when i went down there to pick up some wheels for the a5

and a picture of my car with the a5 i did suspension work on along with wheel set up

my adapters came in before/after pic

heres mine and my buddies 370z

took the car into honda because my clutch slave cylinder was acting up and when i got the car back one of my rear side canards was cracks and i was missing a side strake honda denied everything so i took a different rout with the sides and ended up picking up side diffusers

my car behind the scene's at the dealer so low they couldn't fit it on the ramps


i ended up picking up a forbidden mugen style hardtop and this is how my car sits i dont think my side diffuser are on in this picture but this is how my car sits as of now i ended up gettting a red shift boot to match my seats ill post pictures of my car once the jdp diffuser comes in and keep this tread updated

Looks nice. I like everything but the exhaust. To each his own though. Looks clean!

picked up my diffuser finally so i decided to put berlin under the knife.... plans are to fix front fenders and grind down/cut the insides instead of rolling them along with de-badging them then a full respray of the fenders and rear bumper.


my buddy frankdatank helping me smooth out the fenders

and the issue i ran into

im going to have to cut a few thing in the rear wells to stop this from happening but on the brighter side new tires!!!
rear bumper off

i will also be resealing my driver side light due to a leak and since im going through the trouble i will be polishing front and back lights
i will aslo be wet sanding the whole car and polishing the car to get it back to show condition

small updated body work is all done and i think i'm figured out the fitment for the front can anyone chime in i shaved down the inside of my fenders but and worried with the spacing that i might bash up my fenders again. i still have to get my exhaust changed to a dual outlet instead of the current quad tip set up also addressed the rear ark and made more room so no tire rubbing so far if anyone is interested or needs help pm me
before

after



oh and since i got the jdp these are up for sale theres a scratch on one of them looks to be repairable pm me

ill update once i get everything else done
