D-Speed Side Repeaters
After having installed the flyeyes kit to my rear fog light, i also took the time to fit my new D-Speed Side Repeaters.

Flyeyeskit modification
JDMinG Update
When kuro went in for a respray, i requested that my rear fog light reflector be left in the rear bumper as i wanted to keep it that way. I know most people would say oh you can just buy a rear fog light conversion into the rear tail lights. I have considered this option before, but insist on keeping it as it is.
As it was after the respray:
Having heard many FTO owners start to mention flyeyes kit i decided to have a look for myself. I watched the videos and saw some of the gallery pics and other peoples images of the flyeyes kit being used. I decided to order a set to give it ago. Seeing as i was only going to be using it on the rear fog light, it wouldn't be that hard to DIY, so great, easy job ^_^.
£3.00 for a 30x50cm size black film tint.
Flyeyes Black Film Tint Install: Very easy anyone can do it. Instructions given

Yokohama Super Advan Generation II
Yokohama Super Advan Generation II
Just when you thought your current alloys were the best, something better always turns up. I have a peculiar taste for Advans Super series. I love the 3 spoke design, and have only ever used the super advans! well besides when i first bought the car obviously lol.
As mentioned in one of my earlier posts, i had bought a set of Super Advans Version 1. Last year though using Nengun (Japanese car parts import company) i stumbled upon a set of Super Advans Generation II. I have never seen any in the UK or ever on ebay or anywhere. I was really amazed to see the listing for GEN II's and for a full complete set with all locking nuts and in perfect condition. Having contemplated long because the offset of the front alloys were ET30. This put me off a bit, but i knew spacers would be needed so i decided yes im going for it. Probably one of the best buys i have ever made ^_^ well happy.
It was only after my Matte Black respray, that i decided to put on my new GEN II's. I wanted my FTO to be perfect. Off i went to see Johnny the mechanic :s

As you can see what a difference. Front are GEN II and rear are Version 1.

Power of Photoshop!
Ever wondered? what your FTO would look like with a certain aftermarket kit. Ive thought about it lots of times and in my head it always looks good.
Their are many bonnet styles for the FTO such as :
- OEM
- Carbon OEM
- Evo Style
- Carbon Evo Style
- Creative style
- Carbon Creative Style
- AB Style
- Carbon AB style
The FTO AB Bonnet has always caught my interest and i love how the double vents and the design, really gives the FTO a nice aggressive look. Although when paired with my Project F Bumper, it didn't look right.
I asked a friend to give it a go and place my bonnet over and existing FTO which had an AB bonnet and this was the outcome. In the end! wasn't my cup of tea, so i gave up on the idea. But still i think the AB bonnet with a Nakaya Tune Lip would go nicely ;)
