Cheers guys
At least the picture is back again, I thought it was maybe something I had done wrong!
The wheels are BK Racing 238 17". I just had them powder coated and they came up really well. Not too impressed with the original finish though, they're only one year old and the paint was flakeing off really bad.

This is the first time I've tried to post a photo.
What do you think?




I'm thinking of twin headlight conversion any thoughts?

looks nice

i'd forget the headlight conversion but would get clear front and side indicators and maybe color-code the sideskirts instead personally

Whats happened to my photo??
Thanks milo, I'm not sure about colour coding the side skirts. I did think about it a while ago but changed my mind, as I have seen quite a lot of red ones with it done in my area and I like mine to be differnent. But still it might be the way to go.

Toby,
you are right about the colour coding.............Some cars look good (silver) some not (white). I think the red cars (you and me!) look better if left alone. I will say that the car looks great if you colour code the mirrors!

Mail me for a meet and/or run.

Toby,

like the car. Sorry I didn't really get a chance to speak to you on Sunday.

Was wondering where you got the mudflaps on the front? Mine were a bit of a homemade job, £50 including fixers for 4 good sized flaps, and you can't beat good sized flaps eh.

Was that how you got the car from Brian Downie?

In case you haven't seen them, here's a pic of your car from Sunday (if this works).


So did you go home via the south deeside road? Nice direct road home to Huntly.

Mike.

Just to say that this car looks even better in the flesh, I have the pleasure of seeing it quite a lot!! The pic doesnt give it justice at all though!

See you soon Alasdair,

Take care Keith.

Mike we did have fun on the way home by the way!

Hi
The front lip is a Prosport item. It cost around £80 including delivery. The fit wasn't perfect but it looks ok once painted.
The front mud flaps came from Auto Save in Aberdeen. They are a universal fit so required some cuting to fit but I like the way they look
The car has changed alot since I bought it you wouldn't believe how much has been spent on it and I just seem to keep buying something else for it!! Modifying is definitely an addiction!!
I tried to upload a picture of it but can't get it to work [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I did have a good run home via south Deeside a bit too much traffic though. The pic's from Sundays meet have came out really well. Have to say thats a great one of my car

Thanks

Alasdair

The tyres are Good year F1 which I can really recommend. The size is 215/40/17. The wheels are ok for the price but just maybe a bit on the soft side ( very easily knocked out of shape )
