New owner, mods coming

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. Recently bought a V8V here in Dubai and wondering what took me so long...? Really been enjoying reading the forum and have already learned a lot, I hope that in the coming months I'll be able to contribute as much as other owners have.

I'll be starting up a build thread in the coming weeks, working with AM Dubai and Stuart of Velocity to make something a little unique. I recently finished a Mercedes/Kleemann project and was anxious to start on something else.




Kev

Makeover

Congratulations. Are you talking cosmetic, performance or a little of both?

Thanks for all your help so far Stuart, your patience with all my questions and adding to the order have been really appreciated pal.

Thank you. Mild cosmetics, I don't want to change much about the car whatsoever, lovely lines and very tasteful as it stands, just adding a few items that will flow with the car. Cosmetics will be a two stage project, exterior then interior. As for performance, it will be a combination of AM and Velocity, again, two stages divided between power then suspension/brakes.

Gotta say, the yellow is growing on me. I was working on P1nky_up's car yesterday and it looked pretty damn good sitting in my garage.

Mine is in Ferrari Giallo Modena and has lowered springs, wheels spacers, Quicksilver exhaust, airbox mod, 200 cell sports cats, Michelin Pilot Sports and this week the Velocity ECU upgrade gets fitted. Lots more tweeks and upgrades planned.

Great looking car, we are almost twins. Mine was ordered in Lamborghini Giallo Orion (pearl yellow).

I know I'm a minority here but I have always loved the way the Vantage looked in AM Sunburst yellow, just suits the car really well in my opinion. The pearl yellow really enhances the smooth lines and has more color depth as opposed to regular finishes. To each their own.

Thanks, I will post up a bunch of "before, during & after" when I get my mod thread started in a few weeks - just waiting on a bunch of parts now.

Velocity AP headers are the best value, I would recommend those. Stu can chime in...
