My rear end...
 

After 10 long days in the body shop I've finally got my baby back!

The amount of work that went into this rear end is unreal... it'd take me all day to tell you what was done step by step - but needless to say my body shop guy is a legend! :D

I remember your car at Japfest 2, the side exit exhausts were a give away. I dont mean to be rude but WHY???

The roof vanes look good, but the bumper is truly awful. Is it for real? from the pictures it looks like a photoshop job - and a bad one at that.

Just my opinion, if you like it then fair play to ya.

I just wanted a hefty diffuser and the only one available for Scoobys is so under stated its almost invisible- as you can tell from my car styling I'm up for in-ya-face mods so this was the only route for me! :D

And thats not a bad photoshop jobbie... its my new D900 phone, how dare you cuss my sexy new phone... lol! :p

I know what you mean tho mate - each to their own, cheers for the comments! :thumb:

If I'm correct we may have shared a few miles on the RB run last year, I remember how different your car was........looked good :thumb:

But I have to agree, that bumper is just wrong.

Allan

Congrats, you've done one better than Subaru. You've actually managed to make an ugly car into something far worse :)

:thumb:

Ah could be mate I remember the Richard Burns relay well - such a good event and my 1st big Scooby related type thing! :luxhello:

I'm chalking up the yay's and nay's for this mod... my inspiration was J-Lo & Beyonce... but both those cheeky-chicks have now reduced their signiture feature... hmmm... maybe I missed the boat on this one, lol! :lol1:

Still thanks for the comments Allan :thumb:

Certainly is "In yer face" :norty:

No offence intended, but I don't like your bumper. Each to their own though. :thumb: It's your car and you like it so that's what matters :D

I do try https://www.freesmileys.org/emo/dance005.gif

None taken mate ;) Thanks for your opinion... boy the nay side of this tally is getting long, lol!

personally don't like the rear bumper, but its your car and if you love it thats all thats important, don't worry what anyone else thinks

as said although i don't like it, the work does look like a good job

The work thats gone into it is infalable and so much time and effort made it that way.

I'm seriously in love with it and couldnt of wanted it to come out any better - but I'm yet to find a single person that agrees with me :lol1:

Cheers for the commets tho Tidgy :thumb:

my god it is a big bumper :lol1:

Oh my god, I must be dreaming! I'm in hell:razz:

Alex which garage did the work on your car?

And if you don't mind me asking, how much does 10 days worth of bodyshop work cost these days :eek:

I gotta say mate, the bumper isn't doin it for me personally but as others have said, if you're happy what does it matter what I think :thumb:

I do really like the front end and the exhausts tho :cool:

It may not be to everyones (or anyones, lol) taste, but if you see it in the flesh you'll see the workmanship is fantastic and he's made it look factory finished...

My body shop is in Edgware (HA8) and if anyone wants any work done on their car: body kits, custom jobs, spraying etc then I guarantee you wont find a better place or a better price quoted! :D

This job cost me a fair bit, but I was down there almost everyday and I saw every little thing he had to do... not an easy job, but in my eyes worth every penny! :)

The front end is gonna slightly change with the addition of a charge speed vented bonnet and the exhaust is changing very soon for a system that no doubt everyone will dispise, lol! ...cant wait, lol! :norty:

Ok as some of you may or may not know it took me the better half of a year to get my front end exactly the way I wanted it... already been thinking of improvements to the rear end...

Thoughts??? :)

well its definately differant alright!

Not to my taste fella,but if you like it,thats all that matters at the end of the day,its your car and your money

But i do quite like the side exhaust mod,very suttle

mark

Yes i like it?

as people know i LOVE things that are DIFFERENT!!

Did the wrong thing posting it on here, (as poeple on here like PLAIN, STANDARD, BORING)

looks like a lot of work went into it,
:thumb:

those last pics are better, i really like the idea youve gone for, i just think the sides of the bumper are too large and square when viewed from the side, if you somhow reduced them, but kept the diffuser look then itd be ace :D

That does look better in my eyes,
as the FULL SIDE bits looked a little to plasticy, But with the Black it breaks it down a touch,
Diane

It helps, :thumb: from me.

The side exit system will soon be up for sale - fits directly onto standard 2.5" flange downpipe. Exits both sides! :D

Reason for sale - I'm fitting HUGE AC Cobra style side winders as this system is as you say... very suttle, lol!

Cheers Baz - was a gamble posting on here, but wanted a broad opinion.

It difficult with these custom mods coz they are just my own ideas and unless I get feedback good and bad I cant make the appropriate tweeks to get them perfect. So all comments highly welcome :thumb:

Thats exactly what I'm now working on and my car is booked in the body shop this Tue so will update asap! :thumb:




Also cheers Allan! ;)

As much as I like to see people being different, should this style of modding not be done to novas/corsas and stuff !!!! I liked the car before it had this done and if you do the cobra side exhausts it will really not look cool. Why spoil a fantastic car already ??!!!




Only my opinoin though as everybody else has said if you like it then fair enough , but personally its a no no !!!!



Sorry

DINNER DINNER DINNER DINNER BATMAN:D :D :D
Not my cup of tea but beauty is in the eye of the key holder
Appreciate the work thats gone into it
Whats it like on speed humps

KIP:thumb:

What have you done. I followed you on the R.B Run and thought the car was fantastic. Not my cup of tea but Hey im like you and like to be different. If you like it great. Personally i thought you had a great car before. The exhausts are great:thumb:

No apology's necessary mate, all comments welcome! :) ...I must admit I have had a few Nova's in the past and odds are a bit of pre-pubesant-Maxpower-styling is creeping into my train of thought when I'm cunjuring up these ideas, lol!

:lol: That creased me up :lol1:

Speed humps... hmmm... to be honest I've been avioding them like the plauge, but I've braved a few and so long as I creep over them slowly (as god intended) its all good.

Trouble is I cant race round anymore now (not that I did b4 thats just naughty), but taking corners hard = bumper liking tarmac! :cry: Gotta go easy now which is cool :cool:

Another potential buyer for the exhaust system when its ready for sale?! :D
