Now we are talking, looks ****ing EPIC.. love it mate,

Its actual inspiration for my car… I took my spoiler off last night, and im ordering one of those tow hook this weekend… im bidding on coilovers and some wheels at the moment…

Only thing im going to do differently from the back is im getting a pressed metal plate..

Got one but took it off for pics

Was thinking of doing it black, but got colour coded side skirts to go on so would look odd. Only option is to get it sprayed profesionally

I just took the grill off completely, nothing there! Just sprayed the headlight clips black so you cant see them

I'm with Rd-scooby on the splitter. Looks so much better without it.

Looking good nevertheless

An ebay find! Got to keep an eye on there, sometimes crop up

Encountering some issues getting onto my drive again, given it 6 months to recover from my last car scraping the curb away!







Should be fun when my new coilovers arrive and i can finally lower it some more

lol gotta laugh at these kids and running it as low as possible to impress the yanks. Why don't you lower it so much so you can't even reverse onto your drive

seems abit pointless to me to make a car that can't even get onto your drive so is going to be horrendous on our potholed roads but whatever floats your boat mate, at the end of the day its your car.

As I have said before just take the wheels off altogether. You can't get any lower than that

Hahaha, loving the hate

Looking good Tom, was a bit touch and go at one point back there but you've dragged it back

Have you got any pics of the seat mounts? I've got some new ones for mine, not looked at the mounts in the car properly but trying to get my head round the brackets that came with the seats.

I too am changing my mirrors (making my own!), not to chrome ones anyway! I bought a complete pair of door mirrors from Scoobynet member Scooby Parts for £15 delivered to my door. I've dismantled them and will re-use the electric motor, wiring and the baseplate. The rest will go in the bin

He had a few sets he just wanted 'out the way' so worth a PM Prob the cheapest way of getting a guaranteed-to-fit baseplate that won't leak

Let the other hate, dissagree, disbelieve...... car looks good IMO so keep on with it

Looks like you might have to start reversing onto your drive soon

Are you painting the side skirts and rear spats? If not I'd leave the splitter matt black.

Also unless they are real BBS rims I'd loose the BBS centre badges and get something custom made up, never been a fan of trying to say something is what its not.

Other than that liking it a lot, different is good!
