I am perhaps coming into my last year of coupe ownership next year signifies the start of a search iv intended to do for a good few years now-the search for a ford mustang.
Several things changed in my life this year,the loss of my long term partner and entering into a relationship with Jo,plus various other problems concerning my ex wife and daughter which is still ongoing and may force another year of ownership of what is perhaps one of the most unusual cars on the site.Not by any means as i want this gone but practical good sense indicates it will be 8 years old next year and i want my dream car......so on with my tuscani passion.............


easy to see some of the advertising used on the car to generate some revenue which has been used in the modding

Abs dynamics front splitter bought from selondontiburon,which is nearing end of its life speed humps just dont agree,also you can see the rare concepto grill,in my opinion the best grill you can buy

showing the dupleman D logo and web address source of so much business is this car driving around with the D on the car.spot through the wheels the BBK,big brake conversion kit

The old paper doiley alloys,as scout refers to them....wolfrace bushidos which are not to everyones taste but formerly graced fazs silver and black coupes.....people like them or loathe,no middle ground.Also shows how low the expensive 40mm dropped bilstein coilovers stance is

from the back one of my favourite mods is the high level spoiler.....always loved it as well as the ark mini ariel,and the eyelines from solvenian tuscani

following from the back you can see the rare concepto diffuser and i love the black lights-always have....mick doyle made the spats and they are truly superb

Nearly a blast from past as i write this the winner of the 2010 car of the year on UKHCC was me! you can also see the carbon fibre roof done by ultimate vinyl

bonnet and grill and splitter all done by projectwrap the bonnet of course being a vented actual carbon bonnet,the first one imported by PC to the uk.It got damaged hence why its wrapped

one of my favourite items are the big chavvy billet badges....as far as i know the only set in uk purchased from faz who paid an absolute fortune

Cylon? nope-under the bonnet through the grill

pretty lil angel eyes....one of the first shark racing sets


first set in the uk of shark racings angel fogs.....expensive but worth it

last sneaky shot of diffuser..........subtle joke lost on so many people

couple of shots of the recently fitted lambo headaches

Dont regret fitting just wouldnt do again

most things on the interior are hand stitched in expensive red leather....guage pod was handbuilt by a former member to the highest standards,double din fitted and guages moved so built in tv,dvd and sat nav as well as ipod

Drivers cabin showing metal monkey dials and hand stitched steering wheel from sIII which cost an absolute bomb to do

seats took ages to do patiently stitched by jason with diamonds and headrests replaced as well

A vision of leather....the rear cabin complete with hand stitched side panels

here you can see the extra guage pod soon to be filled with vacuum guage and exhaust gas guage...and something else....pure rice i know but worth it for advertising

the trunk build which kept the boot space but incorporated subs and amp under the floor and all the speakers were replaced as well

6 hours of stitching....the legendary duke box

unique flat rear parcel shelf,all hand done
and finally iv just started on the engine bay-carbon fibre covering,strut brace and overboost intake manifold complete with sri intake and a grounding kit.......you can also see the wrapped header

how much further that will go i dont know....

just wrapped the strut brace for something to do

and sorted out the problem with obvious corners.....in the UK we have something called an MOT-a once yearly check and i failed on having indicators with no bulbs....so in a cheap flash of inspiration....

Well you'll be pleased to hear.....I'm not going anywhere and neither is the car.
Iv now bought into my own Hyundai coupe site in the uk.......
And Iv been busy!!!
For a long time in the uk Iv had problems with my steering wheel being an airbag one without an airbag so I changed it.......

Finally fitted my rear headrests......I'm making covers for them now.......

Flocked the bottom of my dash

Did my centre dash

And the glovebox

Window switch surrounds

The dash is in over Christmas for flocking
Bought new subs for trunk

Meanwhile sprayed grill and mirrors


Also sprayed bonnet

Finally did my headliner



Next move centre console and dash
