As said before Dan, it looks cool.
Deffo agree on the wheel spacers though.

yeah i will have to check again on the spacers, like i say it has the big brake conversion and the turbo wheels so from memory it is already flush with the bodywork. but sure if it can come out a tad bit more...

Exciting times eh?
im grinning from ear to ear knowing that this is technically mine now
and hopefully with everything sorted i can bring it along to santapod for you to have a look at it 
no drag runs though.it is exciting times, finally i have 6 cylinders, comfort and class
(well, maybe not so much class on my part )-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- I have been experimenting with high professional japanese cleaning products and headlights purpose made polish solutions. The problem with clouded or yellowed headlight lies in the micro texture of the plastic of the headlight it self. So yes you can polish it with very fine sandpaper, using a variation of wax compound (or toothpaste does it too), but your headlight won`t last for long in that condition, after a certain time you will have a slight could again and if you leave it after a few years will be again clouded.
So is there a solution for permanent clean headlights?? Yes one only that I tried and worked, but its somehow overkill.
Steps:
1) First sand your headlights, from rough to super fine and make sure the sanding is even, of course you use a water solution while sanding.
No need for polishing.
2) You have cleaned that sanded surface, which means that you need to take off any fat (from fingers) and other soap residual spots. The surface have to neutral.
3) Now even if a polished headlight looks a thausend time better then before, it won`t look as new thought or your headlight was just a bit clouded and you did a ****ing great job. But even the most finest sanding method will just leave the sanded surface as fine textured as the sand paper you used, so it won`t be perfect even sleek.
So here is what comes now:
-You need to perform a gun surface spray with a, resin coat and hardener, mixed in to a solution of thiner.!!!
So you need a dust free surface and a booth for pro spraying.
- Now the thiner part of the solution will basicly melt the surface of the sanded headlight on a micro level, so all un-even texture gets even, the resin then covers that even surface at the same time and hardens really quick. Its difficult to explain how to mix, spray and etc . . . but experienced sprayers get the picture.
At the end the headlight drys in the dust free room and after an hour it looks like new, with a new surface which is possibly less textured then the factory brandnew plastic headlight. The reason for doing this is that you are using a quality resin that won`t cloud and get yellow anymore. Plus a pro. sprayer can give you a surface more clear and beautifull glass reflecting then any factory headlight will ever be.
Note: The company that sold us this kit, produces everything from scratch and doesn`t reveal the type of resin and hardener. How ever can i say that you basicly mix:
3/5 =resin
1/5 =hardner
1/5 =thiner
500ml
usability approx 15min before hardener makes it uneffective.
The hardner they sold us had allready a buelish colour in it, which give a bloody great effect.

Cheers Ben, that certianly does look like a good route to take to de cloud the lenses now it's giving me food for thought after seeing the glass JDM units on pistonheads.
okay quick photoshop time, this is what the car will look like with the painted lip, active spoiler and wheels spaced flush

Chers Trevaro i know it's really tempting to change the wheels, but i actually really like it on the stock wheels. Just something pure about it, there are so many modded supras about and in my eyes this actually looks alot better because it's so bone stock
