[QUOTE="Ihtisham Rauf, post: 779052, member: 29008"] Okay so another little update: [B]1. Engine Bay -[/B] continuing with tidying up the engine bay, I have put on an oil breather and changed the oil cap as well. I think I am done with sprucing up the engine bay now and am happy with how it looks overall. Here is a before and after! [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG-9092.JPG"]65998[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG-9252.jpg"]66000[/ATTACH] [B]2. Prefacelift Taillights [/B]- as planned, the prefacelift taillights are in, they look quite nice; much better than stock second facelift lights in my opinion! I am currently waiting on a driver side German taillight as I want to go for the twin reverse light look. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG-9300.JPG"]66002[/ATTACH] [B]3. 'Alloys'[/B] - got a bit tired of the standard Nissan wheel trims but also didn't want to shell out so much for average looking alloys, so tried to find some better looking wheel trims.
