but i actually am quite intrigued by it, and would like to see it in the metal before forming an opinion, but personally it looked better before the high spoiler extension.. :notworthy good effort for being completely different though! I do take lame photo's... ever1 I've shown pics to then has seen it in the metal all agree they dont do it any favours, lol! The wing ext has helped take a bit of emphasis off that huge bumper and balance it out a bit more... Maxpower would be proud, lol! |

This is what it currently looks like... http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...Car/wing11.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...Car/wing10.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...0Car/wing9.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...0Car/wing8.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...0Car/wing7.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ar/wing6-1.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ar/wing5-1.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ar/wing4-1.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ar/wing3-1.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ar/wing2-1.jpg The AC Cobra exhausts wont be happening til mid year (which is when I totally go overboard) :p Charge Speed vented bonnet arriving in Feb which I'm gagging for! :D .... |
I hate it so much i almost like it..
The rear looks better with the sides painted black to match the diffuser. I think the front would look better without the headlight underbrows. I have to admit it is the most different scoob ive seen in a long while. |
I actually like it! Strange, I'm usually a subtle 'nice wheels and a good drop' man, but that looks well done and well put together. I would get rid of the masking on the headlights, fit some higher profile tyres and get some smoked side repeaters and be done with it!
Well done mate. |
Thanks guys! :thumb:
The headlights have a thick vinyl painted the same colour as the car (Zero Sport do these in plastic and charge £100 unpainted so I thought I'd do it a cheaper way). Tyres are getting changed... as they are 19" wheels I cant go for a higher profile eventho I agree it would look better. But I currently have 215's on there and I've rolled the arches ready for 235's which will beef the wheels out a bit. As for side repeaters, they are coming off very soon! :D |
a long saxo :lol1:
|
i like the the whole car except from the things on the head lights and the rear bumper, the idea of the rear bumper is good if it was toned down a little bit it would be great, but it just seems to in yer face!
|
That rear bumper looks sooo much better with the black paint added :thumb:
I like it!!! |
respect for being different!!

I understand what you mean about toning it down... It was hard to know how it was going to turn out as it was a one off custom jobbie. But instead of thinking how can I tone it down, I was thinking how can I make it more proportionate, ie. the larger rear wing and now considering bigger tyres... currently 215/35r19 so looking at 255/30r19 which will fill those arches out a bit better and provide the 'chunky' factor that will aid in bringing things into proportion. :D |

I like it!!! Cheers mate... I'm sure you'll be keeping an eye on the cars development and lemme know the second I do anything to make my premium go up, lol! :p Will be getting tints in the next few months - legal ones... 65% rear and 25 or 30% front which is legal right? |

Will be getting tints in the next few months - legal ones... 65% rear and 25 or 30% front which is legal right? 30% is very dark, the figures refer to the amount of light that passes through the film, so a 5% is 'limo black' whereas a 50% is fairly light. As for legality, put ANYTHING other than clear security film on the front windows and you're breaking the law. Any vehicle bulit after 1985 has to allow 75% light through the windscreen and front side windows. Your factory tints will be VERY close to this figure, no matter how light they may look. |

I am getting larger tyres for it... currently on 215/35 and soon to be on 245/35's so maybe that one step closer to a santa pod styled funny car, lol! |

Ok so more like a 65% on the front and a 30% on the rear... everyting you do these days is illegal - bloody road laws are getting ridiculous! :razz: God knows you see cars going around all the time with black windows front and rear... I just wanna get a slight tint - nothing along the lines of black or unable to see thru. |
the front windows have a tint from standard which is at the legal limit already (this is the green tinge they already have). If you put any additional tinting film on the front windows you will be breaking the law and this is an area cops are focusing on now.
With your car looking like that I expect you will be pulled quite a few times as you will look like your stereotypical boy racer, last thing you'll won't is to have anything ilegal on the car so the rozzers won't get the satisfaction of giving you points/fine/ticket. |
