Renovation work with my SC430

[NICO1972]

Dear everyone, 

Sorry for the absence as for some reason, I was unable to get back to the group (I am normally logged in as Nico72) and despite requesting access via administrator, I had to create a new account just so I can get in (I am hoping the administrators of this forum will be able to sort out my normal login access). Anyway, please see what I got doing on my car recently. 

New Sat Nav system with rear camera was installed by Audio specialist - speakers were changed and subwoofer was fitted under the front glove box (which absolutely transform the sound system) and all 4 alloys refurbished 

Bodywork paint repair in some areas was done (by professional body shop)

and leather restoration of all leather seats, centre console and doors was done by leather specialist

I think the photos speak for themselves... Now the car is becoming more pristine and I am loving it. Worth this investment to keep it well maintained I think.

Next projects in future:

New exhaust system - but I am not sure which one I would go for. I do want the V8 to sound louder but not too loud. So I am doing some research on this. No rush on this, as exhaust system is fine for now. But I will definitely be looking at something a bit louder. Any recommendation?

New sport tyres (non flat) by Michelin sport when tyres will be due for a change, as I understand the non flat tyres will make the driving much better overall...

Hi Nick

Sorry to here you are experiencing technical difficulties on here but hopefully the boffins at LOC will sort it out.

Thanks for the pictures, it was a pleasure to look and scrutinise them.

Your car looks fabulous and I hope we will be seeing you at the meet next month 👍.

Kind regards 

Anthony

Thank you Anthony! The car looks amazing and sounds fantastic with new sound system!

Wait until you get the exhaust done, you will be listening to that instead 😅

Hi Nick,

where did you get the bodywork repair/repainting done and do you think they did a good job?

Hi Sure, I go the job done at the bodywork shop in Staple Corner (North London) called M.N Coachworks LTD. I know these guys for years and they are very good at doing paint work, body repair. If you need speaking to someone, ask to meet Fabio who is the General Manager.

Hi Nick.  Great photos.  Makes all my little projects so far look very minor.

Great to see your SC430 get much love and attention 👍🏻
