>My Ruby Red<

Had some spare time today so I decided to take some shots of the car. The car is AUDM thus the unseen before color.

My main intention, in terms of modding, was to make the car look sleek, smoothe and classy =) Im done with modding and I shall now try divert the money away from the car and to something more worthwhile lol jk

But anyways, here are the mods, nothing extravagant, just things i did that were within budget and that were justified.

04 CL9 automatic

Exterior:
06 Euro R kit
Euro-r grille
M3 bootlip spoiler

Suspension:
Tein SS
Whiteline rsb
Ingalls rear camber

Engine:
Comptech icebox
DC headers
Magnaflow hiflow cat
NST pulleys

All comments welcome!

BTW I am a real n00b when it comes to taking shots!
Camera: Canon Rebel XS
Lens: 18-55mm

Comments in terms of how to improve shots would be great...I know i should choose better backgrounds and lighting, but o well! :p

Thanks mate. I prefer this kit over the 04 euro-r kit, thats why i changed the entire bar and grille.

Nah they arent NR's unfortunately. I couldnt get my hands on a set when i was looking so i settled on a set that looked similar.

Lol about the budget, it took a lot of working and saving for parts and stuff. Took about 18 months to get all the parts i needed while i was still in uni workin part time lol. There are heaps of ballers around and i certainly aint one

Now THAT is a color I wish we got here!

I'm not a big bright red kinda person (like our milano red), but I love that color red.

Your wheels like great, too. Look like Mugen NRs.

what wheels are they, then? I'd love to get some freaking amazing Mugen NR replicas like that. Light weight? By the way, your color is just amazing. Makes me want to get my CGP tsx repainted into some similar shade, except in a blue tint

Unfortunately they are not NRs. Was looking for a set but couldnt fork out the money for them during uni.
I have SSW Menace but only in 17x7 as they didnt come in 18's. They weigh approx 20.9lbs.

Hahaha. Im after looks and practicality, not hardcore looks :p
It would look nicer if i dropped it another 1/2 inch or so but my daily needs for the car is more important.

I have heard some ppl with cars that are too low to get into shopping centres and underground car parks lol..very silly imo
for me its practicality > looks hehehe

Day off from work today and was waiting for the gf. Took some pix since the weather was holding up rather nicely =)

Took a while to get the right height of the car that i was after...low enough to look nice but driveable for my level of driving lol
