Thumbs up ready to show you my new car!

Heres my new car at last!
Waited 12 weeks for it to get shipped over, it was supplied by Jap-Link, who I can highly reccomend, it was exactly how they said it would be.

Since I got it Ive swapped the wheels and lowered it. I also had a set of bumpers ready for it, and graphics, fitted them and hated it, so back to the originals, most of the stickers off, and a freshly designed lip, which Im especialy pleased with. Oh, and not forgetting the bonnet!!

Looks a million times better now.








Hope you all like, will be at the NBOII on sunday if you want a closer look.

Thanks, Rob.

Oh, and a really smart motor! The bugeyes are really starting to grow on me.

I'm surprised the black wheels work so wheel - must be the polished rim setting them off.

Rob - Very nice indeed. Can't wait to see what else you do to it. Really loved the red classic car. The vents in the bonnet are rather nice.

You dont do things by half, do you.

I like most of it, but not sure about the intercooler scoop.

I do like the airfilter sub scoops though.

If you would have explained to me how you were going to buy those wheels, and then paint the spokes black. I would have thought, " oh dear ! ".

But they look well on the car, good vision.

I was going to say, " Didnt take you long to ruin that ", but its looking good, so I wont.

Nice one.

Yoza.

Thanks Yoza,
I did actualy ruin it at first, like I said, but had the sense to give up and start again!!

Ive got a new high level wing in the pipeline for it, just need to find some time to finish it off!

Been playing with the grille for a few days, and will be taking a mould from it next week sometime.
What do you think?





Thanks, Rob.
