How I got it: After I turned 18, I saved some money and bought the car. Actually this is my first car I ever owned.

What has been done: First I focused on the exterior, I wanted to buy a completely original BBS BODYKIT for the car. Since this kit is very rare, the search took me almost two years, but I was ultimately successful. Then decided to install an EVO 1 spoiler instead of the original BBS one. In my opinion, the car looks more aggressive with the EVO 1 spoiler.

Once I had the body kit, I was looking for genuine BBS RS 077 wheels, on which I mounted wider outer lips and which I high-gloss polished. Also I got floating center caps for the BBS RS Wheels.

Next, I found original 16V headlights with the yellow fog lights. The car’s exterior was almost finished, except for the exhaust system. My goal for the car was to sound the way it looks, elegant but also aggressive. Thats why I searched for an original REMUS TYP 176 rear muffler. In addition, I’ve installed a Bastuck center silencer and good resonator.

My suspension consists of 60mm H&R spring combined with TA-Technix air suspenison shock absorbers.

After the exterior I focused on the interior. I bought original sportline partial leather seats from an EVO modell with the sportline door panels. Then I searched for a BBS-Steering wheel but with the Zebrano look. Goal was to match with the other zebrano parts in the car.

Next on the list: There are no other steps, the car is finished 🙂 Next steps are to finish my EVO 2 project 😉
