All carbon on the car is real, splitter, fog light surrounds, with the washer blanks, diamonds, dashboard and steering wheel inserts all original items covered in real carbon, not film.
You may want to look at the other cars we (Emma & I) have;
1992 Lancia integrale EVO1 homolgation model, tubular manifold, 3" turbo back exhaust system, leather hi-back Recaro Speed seats from Limited Edition integrale Lagos EVO2, EVO2 MOMO Corse, 17" old style Compomotive TH2's which are pretty much copies of the original Speedline integrale wheels which were 15" EVo1 and 16" EVO2 17" tarmac Rally spec. Porsche 911 (993) Monoblock Brembo front callipers and Alfa Romeo 166 310mm disc's, up from original 282mm disc's and 4pot Lancia Brembo's non-monoblock. integrale Martini 6 quick-shift system and carbon fibre gear stick surround. The car looks OEM but for some subtle changes from within Lancia group of cars and options.
Fiat Seicento Abarth with a 1.4 16V 6 speed (Panda100HP) conversion running Emerald ECU, SuperSprint s/s manifold, our own design exhaust, which looks OEM running 113bhp up from the original 1.1L 8V 5speed with 54bhp. Punto GT Turbo front brake conversion 254mm 20mm vented disc's (original 240mm solid) much bigger callipers, rear Punto GT Turbo calliper/disc conversion running 240mm solid disc's from the front, original drums. OMP slim fittings reclining front seats, panda 100HP alloy pedal covers, apart from seats everything pretty much OEM.
Mitsubishi FTO GPvR 1 of only 350 made so has Torsen LSD, manual gearbox, no sound proofing and 2L V6 197bhp and weighs not much more than a Trophy with Cusco Zero2Zero height, front camber adjustable top mounts, and bump/rebound adjustable coil-over suspension that actually rides better than the very stiff standard GPvR stuff, a Clio wouldn't see which way it went in a straight line or on a track. Massive front brake conversion consisting of Mitsubishi GTO Twin-Turbo 4pot Satimoto "Mitsubishi" callipers, and Nissan 250Z 325mm discs, Goodridge s/s brake lines, original is single pot floating callipers with 275mm disc's. 17" Mitsubishi EVO5 GSR Enkei multispoke wheels, look like OZ SuperT's but have an odd number of spokes rather than even number.
We also have a track day Fiat Cinquecento very close to completion, which again runs a 1.4L 16V 6speed conversion from a Panda 100HP though this time running Canems ECU built to MSA standards in case we want to use it competitively as for its class it will be very quick. Custom made Quaiffe LSD, custom made quick shift system with gearstick next to steering wheel, custom made rear anti-roll bar (Cinqs and Seis have fully independent suspension) AVO height bump/rebound adjustable coil-overs front, AVO bump/rebound adjustable dampers and Eibach springs rear. Punto GT Turbo front and rear brake disc conversions etc etc the list goes on.
As for my Trophy, I will fit matched inlets, I will fit another exhaust system, I like look of the RS192, but want a system that can be matched to a CAT modification to run bigger outlet, like Mark Fish does. I am also keen to try the WhiteLine rear anti-roll bar as I have used Whiteline stuff in past on a Suzuki Ignis Sport front and rear, were very very good, and on rear of my Celica GT4 ST205, made a naturally safe understeery car so flat and planted on bends it was un-natural.
Although maybe a little uneeded for a road car, i'd love a LSD on the car, I think it would make it, the reason the FTO GPvR and things like Integra Type R's, EK9 Civic Type R's, and even JDM EP3 Type r's are so good I put down to the standard fit Torsen LSD, it makes the front of the car so good being able to get on the power earlier out of bends, feeling the car being dragged out of a corner is awesome, and even simple things like the snow in winter, the mechanical LSD constantly shifts power between the wheels meaning much more traction, the FTO bearly even wheel span in the snow, yet the Clio bearly moved.
There are other things that are cool, like the Mark Fish re-valved rear adjustable Koni's, Mark Fish springs make the car sit nice and I hear without being detrimental to the ride quality.
Oh and even though I have Brembo Max discs and Pagid pads, you may see a pattern on the cars we have, bigger brakes.! I'd love a set of nice Brembos, or even Wilwoods as had them on the FTO before going bigger Mitsubishi. As I don't care what anyone says about overkill, you can't ever have brakes that are too good, plus they look brilliant, considering the 4pot Brembo's that came off my integrale has 282mm discs and sat inside 15" wheels as standard, I don't need to go any bigger really on disc, just some nice radial mount calipers and a custom bracket and jobs a good un.
I doubt I will ever track the Trophy, its my every day runner and have a car to fulfil my trackday and maybe competition needs.
