Carbon Fibre Wrap (Di-Noc 3M)

JDMing Update:

My ever first recognition and impression of 3M Carbon Fibre wrap was from a Japanese FTO website, where the person wrapped the bottom lower centre console with it. It looked absolutely stunning and real too. Till recently when 3M wrapping became more common in UK, i decided to give it ago myself.

During my trip to Hong Kong back in April 2011 i went to an automotive styling shop which sold the authentic famous Di-Noc 3M Carbon Fibre. When this was first introduced on the market i didnt get any due to the price. But now a days its reasonably priced and well worth it to give it that carbon look.

Example of Di-Noc 3M used.

My Inspiration

Mitsubishi Ralliart FTO Car Mats

Ralliart FTO Car Mats. Truly goes well together. RED AND BLACK ^_^ Awsome

Originally the car came had Black mats with white trim. Which wasn't very nice as it got dirty easily and very noticeable.


Although there are many car mats available for the FTO especially on ebay for around the price of £24.99 and you can have any colour you want. 


My Ralliart Car Mats, however are impossible to get now. They are ultra rare. A discontinued product by Ralliart. 

Version-R Seats

JDMing Update:

During the riots back in August, i took advantage of all the free flow traffic around london and went to pick up my FTO Version R seats that i have been storing away. I felt it was time to give the interior an upgrade from the leather seats to a more comfortable and snug cloth fabric seat.

FTO DE3A Version R Seats were only available to the GPvR line up in the FTO models.

Body colour: Scotia White. Front seat colour: Blue 
Body colour: Passion Red. Front seat colour: Black 
Body colour: The Pyrenees Black. Front seat colour: Red

5Zigen Exhaust

JDMing Update:

Next up is the Exhaust change. People always ask how to increase power which out spending masses of money. Well there are a few things to consider. One good way to gain instant performance gain and response is fitting an aftermarket exhaust. These are better designed then OEM to allow more free flow in them thus giving you better performance and a nicer exhaust tone ^_^.

I originally had the Blueflame stainless twin tail pipe exhaust when i bought the car. Very lovely low tone pitch and makes a nice roar sound when you put your foot down...Eventually i found a 5Zigen Pro Racer A-Spec for sale and opted for that instead as i've always wanted one.

Aftermarket Dashboard Dial Rings

JDMing Update:

Next in line of mods, is the dashboard. OEM does look good, but added a bit of silver to it makes a hell of a difference in design.

Different available dial rings for the FTO.

• The aluminium dial rings made by the FTO Owners Club Shop
• Type-F aluminium dial rings
• Deep dish dial rings
• Chrome dial rings with smoothed off curve

OEM Dash

Strut Braces

JDMing Update: OEM Strut Braces

To improve handling on Kuro, i bought the Version R front and a rear strut bace.

Yokohama Super Advan

Yokohama Super Advan

When i bought the car, it originally came with BBS 17" alloys, which were pretty nice. But i have always loved the Super Advans from the first moment i saw it. Lucky enough at the time i found a set on ebay so snapped that up.
