Hi all.. just picked up my car last weekend after some work at a first class mod place over here called custom exotics
Recommended by Friend and fellow vette head and owner… boy he was not wrong! To give you an idea this place is nearly 4.5 hours from me..
But having seen the work they’ve done, particularly on C5’s I draughted a long list to make it worth while.. it started with removal of the horrible Euro fog lamps then grew.. including some very challenging mods like putting a C6 Steering wheel in a C5 .. they did and got all the controls working too.. I think I’m the only vette in UK.. maybe even Europe with this mod… anyway pleased with all the work doesn’t come close.. brief list is.. C6 Wheel, Double din head unit with Reverse camera, glossback interior details, Mirrors, spoiler, rear round exhausts, Euro fog lamp removal and hole fill in plastic bumper!!! F1 style fog lamp in, Wheels done all black with subtle Jake embossed centres, racemesh throughout
Engine bag detail in gloss and satin black, C5Z06 intake fitted, Bi xenon headlamps, switch back indicators, brakes calipers in Red and other bits! Enough of that .. its pics you want really

Some really neat mods but I'd remove the spacers in the rear taillights so they are not flush...........

Brit dex

Thanks buddy... Will try that look out and see what I think..

Got Evo X seats going in next

The steering wheel looks great in your car. Is the airbag functional?

Funny that you're removing some of the euro specific parts of the car. Over here, we add them to be different. I've had export lights on my car for a few years now

Brit dex

That's funny... Always want what you haven't got lol
I hated them as they spoiled the look of the back of the car... Not much thought.. Just two holes cut in bumper! But everyone's different..

Airbag isn't functional.. It's Chevy cobalt but was twin charge version.. Getting explosives shipped is very difficult to be too choosy.. But way I saw it if I was to put say a momo in it wouldn't have one..
To get one over here new is Ł2.5k! So non starter.. Wheel is amazing though 2012 Grand sport.. Lovely detail.. And red stitching to match leather updates of shifter handbrake, arm rest etc and also the Evo X seats going in..

I like everything except for the rear wing. That monstrosity would have to go......

Oh, you had the ones that were cut out and put in the bumper randomly? Yeah, I don't blame you for deleting those. I only put the euro lenses on mine with the turn signals integrated.

Your mods are and the car looks great. I do like the C6 steering wheel with functioning controls.

Brit dex

Yep! That's them.. Terrible.. I've got the radio flyer rears now with amber LEDs integrated when they flash, but red otherwise..

Love the C6 functional steering wheel but the C6 logo needs to be changed. Also, looks like you are missing the cap to the windshieldwiper resevoir. Otherwise, nice engine bay and great C5

[QUOTE=knewblewkorvette;1592711467]Thankyou... Yes got the cap actually just needs putting on..

The steering wheels centre will be done when I can get one for the job.. The one in currently is a doctored wheel centre cap .. But looks good for now.. The flags are quite close, so good enough for now

Unbelievable is all I can say, your car looks awesome.
Enjoy the summer, and have fun showing off your car to others, beautiful.

C6 wheel looks good in the car, glad to see other people taking the plunge!

Nice car. By the way my mother in law was from Rochdale.

chasboy

Looks great! What are those air intakes in front of the rear wheels?

I'm only an hour or so from there

Brit dex

Thankyou.. And exactly that.. Cooling ducts for rear brakes.. We're on the car when I got it.. Have had some black mesh fabricated to match the Racemesh..
I believe it's an ecklers body kit? Those bits, rear spoiler and there was a front splitter too which I took off as it was badly damaged
