jay200bhp Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Since buying Andy Baileys supra single a year ago Dec gone i have changed alot on the car and thought i would debut it here so you can see what i have been upto. I will let the pictures do the talking some of the main changes have been To change the banded wheels for a set of Works from Dane. The HKS F-con was removed and a syvecs S6 with trac control fitted.A set of OEM confetti recaros from Jamesys silver car were added then removed and retrimmed in black and light grey Leather ,I also had the doors trimmed and the rear bench and boot carpet while i was at it. The battery was moved to the boot on a custom carbon platform ,Ridox fenders added,the interior painted ,an OEM bonnet scoop added and also a set of 12an breathers for the cam covers.. here are some photos to date i hope you enjoy them...

jay200bhp Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) the defi gauge link unit was mounted in a din pocket below the radio so a tool was made to lay prepreg carbon on and make a flat panel to hold it on the dash and make a feature out of it .The next few pics show this before ,during the tooling stages and after all fitted.

Their now owned by a member called RSME. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=275017 I remember him posting about wanting to sell them. Maybe worth sending him a pm.

James Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 The spoiler slightly restricts how much it is a 'sleeper' by surely Looking good though mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 That spoiler has ruined the car in my opinion.... looks hideous and doesn't really serve any purpose, unless you plan on having lunch on your boot and need somewhere to put your sandwiches You may as well take the 'Sleeper' stickers off now too. Rest of the car is nice though, seat re-trim looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 clearly not a sleeper , you need to rename it mate , before a mod comes along and changes the title to something more appopriate SLEEPER A sleeper (US English) or Q-car (British English) is a car that has high performance and an unassuming exterior.[1][2] Sleeper cars are termed such because their exterior looks little or no different from a standard or economy-class car. In some cases the car appears worse due to seeming neglect on the owner's part, typically referred to as "all go and no show". While appearing to be a standard or neglected car, internally they are modified to perform at higher performance levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay200bhp Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Gents have a look at the car when andy owned it ... it was a sleeper in his advert and as a nod to andy and a bit of a pi*s take i chose to name it that ... see a bit of a joke... the kraken hodge owns is a mystic sea creature thought to be a giant squid so i think we will be okay wont we? plus mr bailey hates the shiny shiny look i went for kraken (ˈkrɑːkən) — n a legendary sea monster of gigantic size believed to dwell off the coast of Norway from Norwegian, of obscure origin clearly not a sleeper , you need to rename it mate , before a mod comes along and changes the title to something more appopriate SLEEPER A sleeper (US English) or Q-car (British English) is a car that has high performance and an unassuming exterior.[1][2] Sleeper cars are termed such because their exterior looks little or no different from a standard or economy-class car.
