Phew!!! .. thankfully..not me.. .. that WOULD put you off yer tea .. but the dear old Express...

Fast Car asked if they could shoot it for next issue and asked is if we could come up with something "special" styling wise.

The result was our talented body shop taking a grinder to both the quite rare Tommy Kaira bumper.. which i had kinda hacked a bit off already.. and bits of spoilers lying around the joint .. and after much fettling, smoothing and painting we get this

As ever.. will probably productionise this... so if enough you shout will get it in the shops for you by Christmas

Cheers

Trouser

PS.. Mr Tang.. hope you're proud

 

Looks a bit too common for me... you'd never find that in Tesco's car park!

Some job mate, must turn a few heads

 

Hmmm Trouser redoing Tommy Kaira's work!

It does look fantastic in the flesh, the workmanship is amazing.

I know the where the other bit came from so the transformation is very impressive!

 

trouser,

Ive bought those wheels and ive just got a quick question.... how much can you lower the car by using 215/35/19 tyres..???

And do you need alot of arch work..??

Oh and do the 19" diablos clear 4pots..?

Sorry last one... do you sell the 215/35/19 tyres, not to bothered what make i.e falcon, pirelli...e.t.c could you email me some prices as my rear tyres are nearly gone..

Trouser, me owd mucker...have ya got room on the Express for another sticker? I was thinking along the lines of " Workshop floor painted by....."
....on second thoughts, no, I noticed it's peeling in places again.....

 

Dan as Trouser is running the TSL-Hispec 6 pot brakes I think you will have no problems what so ever with four pots!

Zip - Trouser has something for you. I remembered to bring it all the way up from the Sarf for you!

 

Thanks MATTel,

just noticed them brakes on the pics.... how could i miss them, there not exactly discrete..

Next time you side-swipe a pedestrian, wipe the blood off the doors.

Wait til to you see it in the flesh !
One word !
AWESOME !

 

Seen this car at max power live i think! Not 100% sure though. Awesome motor i kinda love it. All work done by TSL?

 

Saw this in the flesh yesterday.. Its stunning..

One of the best bumpers I've seen.. If only my funds streched that far..........

looks nice mate, esp for a company, but for normal use, over the top for me, but it just shows what's out there in the market!

can i be in the next mag in the back ground?

 

Was down at TSL with 555-Shaggy yesterday (booking mine in for 4-wheel alignment) and that new front end on the Trouser Expressdoes look good.
But will it cope with the speed humps at the Goose?

 

all you need now is a nice fmic !!

 

An FMIC plus a post98 bonnet to take away the annoying gap between the old bonnet and those wierd looking morrettes.

Still way over the top IMHO, still I am sure Max Power will love it.

 

Just when i thought that there was nowhere else to go with the tired old girl

Nice one Tart, how are you anyways?

Mikey

 

Cheers guys

wotcha Mikey.. wher u bin mate?.. must be time for a coffee .. or a beer.soon

Michelle,.. don't worry we will be producing a more impact resistant version m8 .. something trick will happen there soon don't worry..can't do it all at once

have been seriously tempted with an FMIC.. if we can dial out some of the throttle lag on the Motec it will happen.. might be nippy then

Next transformation to appear here will be a standard 1.6 2WD to recieve the full Trouser treatment.. seriously!!.. pics WILL be posted .. not sure if the lil' motor will move all that extra plastic tho!!

cheers

Trouser

 

What kinda cost are we looking at, trouser???

 

Hi mate.. would want to try and retail it for about £450ish inc. VAT.... want it to fit as well as the original TK bumper did.. quite a clever fixing system and I REALLY hat aftermarket body stuff that needs all the fixings fabricating.

have had quite a few enquiries on this already.. keep it up and we will make it !

Cheers

Paul

 

now only of those headlights had a third 'eye' for the sidelights...

 

For that price.. I'll have one!!!!
