Well I finally dropped the car off at the spray shop at the weekend for her full respray in Lamborghini grigio avlon (same colour used for the LP640), should be finished just in time for le-man ;) in June.

 

Its been a long old struggle but my project is finally in its final stage. I took her off the road back in early October and set about changing nearly everything. Here is my new spec list:

 

Precision GT4088 0.81A/R turbo (mapped to 1.4bar by Ryan G @ SRR)

HKS Wastegate with open screamer pipe

AEM filter

4" FMIC

Southbend DXD Dual Friction Clutch with extended push rod

HKS Ti 4" Exhaust with custom 3" Downpipe & Midpipe

Apexi Power FC with hand controller, 3bar map sensor & datalogit

800cc Sard injectors

Walbro pump

Sard AFR with gauge

Brembo brakes all round with custom DBA discs & 5.1 fluid

Goodrich brake lines all round

Apexi N1 pro coilovers

B&M short shifter

18" Blitz 03 alloys

 

Doluck front bumper

Veilside skirts & spats

Stock spoiler (however may leave without spoiler)

Facelift style headlights with facelift front indicators

Ariel and rear wiper removed and flushed

Full respray in Lamborghini Grigio Avlon

6000K HID conversion

Clifford CAT1 alarm

 

Greddy boost & HKS DB oil pressure & temp gauges

VEMS ARF & EGT gauge

Blitz spec-R DSBC boost controller

Resprayed gunmetal dash with blue LED dash & dial conversion

DVD headunit

Option tuning steering wheel

Black dyed carpet (to fit)

Sparco harnesses (to fit)

 

I think that’s everything however im sure I missed some things out! Most of the ancillaries were removed, checked, cleaned and refitted.
