Yo! This car is dubbed as such because of my love for Dub Reggae, Jungle, Chillwave and other forms of weird electronic ****. Anyway, so im going mostly for an interior/sound direction on this car, seeing as its an auto, im not sure whether putting effort into the performance will be worth it. At the end of the day, this is my daily driver and i'd just like to make it look a bit better :) Or a whole lot better depending on how i go

So heres my lists! XD

Nice one, I'm hopefully picking up a mica black SP20 later this week and can officially join the club :)

Mat Mat, regarding the CAI would this ridiculously cheap one do anything (considering you could lengthen the pipe)?

Whats the difference betwen the K&N Typhoon kit and a cheap one? I know it sounds stupid, but they both look like theyre made out of the same thing. Build quality?

Answering my own question/but I'm probably wrong ...

The Injen CAI is also a similar price to the K&N Typhoon. Apart from better quality, both have had more (dyno) testing, and more solidly attach to the engine bay. The cheap one looks a lot shorter and potentially will suck in warmer air (unlike the more expensive kits that suck air under the wheel arch) ... but still, it's a fraction of the price :)

What other chillwave bands you like FairyKitty? I've just got into Chad Valley here ...

The colour is Ford Blue

Yeah first i scrubbed all the grime off it, then sanded it a bit, then cleaned it up with wax and grease remover, then put on the first coat, waited an hour between each coat. Did 3 coats all up :)

Finally got around to starting work on the interior. One of my pink footwell neons got kicked, and broke, so ive relocated the other one to the front grill area, where i took the grilles out earlier today.

Also did my glovebox "stickerbomb" i just used car mag cut outs and wheatpaste and voila. Same principle as stickerbombing, but i like this better, plus its more unique :P
