Following the excellent example of 3gress...

Hey, hey!
Did you see the possible photo locations around Eltham village?
It is a shame the defunct rail depot is covered in 'save our depot' signs as it would make for a sweet background subject. There is also an old iron(?) truss bridge located in the village covered in foliage that would be great to sneak onto for a pic!

Yeah, I did see the old rail station and bridge... but I’m not as adventurous as you! Thanks for finding this locale, though, it’s great.

2 days ago, pity about the Nee-sahn in the background...

Let me take a stab; you're 51 years old and this is the nearest your getting to owning an Aston Martin.

I think you're wrong, Bruce. The mightycarmods banner suggests a younger driver. Can't argue about the AM influence though.

Still, the car looks good, what's under those vents?

I'm 46 and an MCM fan so don't rule it out :lol:

Interesting kit, certainly changes the look.

But would you put a banner on your car? I like MCM, I'm but a spritely 38 and I wouldn't. But I guess it takes all types, and our cars are an expression of our interests.

The vents are by Singular in the US I believe, they make them for NA and NB as well. Some people even put the NC ones onto the NB.

My son would say you're on the money, I say I'm still young enough to do the work myself so an Aston is once I'm really old and it's wasted on me :wink:

2.5 swap, Kraftwerks Rotrex SC, CSF 7015 radiator, Goodwin maxpower header, hemholtz mid and SuperQ… Getting the SC to fit and run reliably has been a 12 month process, still finagling the tune with Mike@Moto-East but I'm getting consistent numbers through the logs so may get it on the dyno soon.

Indeed, don't rule it out :wink:

I've had my car since new in '06 and started watching MCM when I first started looking for ways to mod it after warranty was getting short

Correct, fitted them last weekend and I cannot tell you how many bricks were being shat when I was looking to make the first incision :lol:

The bumper is an import from DAMD through japanparts.com

MCM banner did throw me a little, but I got pretty close.

Very nice.

Yep, you win this round!

Yeah, cutting the bonnet for those vents would be scary. I might need to do it to mine one day, but it will be a last resort. Looks like you did a great job.
