BenLAST Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) You've all seen it in Rich's thread, thought it was about time i made my own!Was like this when i went to collect off Rich:It then got chequered and tinted up (tints arn't my thing, but i don't have a garage to use every night and it hides away the rear nicely)Recaro's and a Sparco wheel got slapped inNew plates, although i took them off as they arn't true German style as Ebay described! Stickered up to the max (notice the Pony )SmoothyThats where i am for now. No doubt more mods to come. The chequers are now off and most of the stickers are gone now.Future plans:Headliner is out, will be covering in something, but thats a secretProper vinyl for the roof, not duct tape! Similar sized patter though, in yellow and purpleWheels might be getting sprayed if i feel up to it. Might follow the purple/yellow scheme?Mirrors will be re-painted. Either matt black or purple.Drop the front a little more, i'm sure i see empty thread on the coilie Will probably think of more when i get bored..

BenLAST Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Havn't in the 4months i've had them so far, and that includes being pulled over by a traffic officer, and they didn't say a word. Until they say take them off, they're staying put for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Whenever I see back tints I always think there is something worth having out of the car that the owner doesn't want you to know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 i like the front bumper smooth... but can you get the bit above it to line up a bit better? it looks like its over hanging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_JLClark_ Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Looks fresh debadged grill will clean the front up nicely IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLAST Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 It would, but i'm not a fan of the smoothed bumper and de-badged grill look. Looks too plain, which i don't like the smoothed boots. I'm looking into smoothed out indicators, so when that comes around, i may look into the de-badged grill.Cheers for the comments so far.

BenLAST Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Cheers mate.Chequers on the bonnet will be coming off after this evenings Ace Cafe meet, and the car will be getting machine polished late this week/early next ready for Revenge cruise (which is now in Dunstable of all places!), Edition and Trax.Headliner should be back in within the week, will be leaving it un-covered for now as i can't fully make up my mind!

BenLAST Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Pretty sure the sub box has cracked after hitting a pothole on the way from the Ace this evening Will investigate at some point, and if that's the case it will either all come out, or it will be walled (depending on the cash and whether or not I get my own flat soon!)

BenLAST Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Car is still cool...Did I mention, Horses are gay?But Pony's arn't.Looks as if its just the top board that has cracked, and come away from the actual box. Thank god for that! I couldn't quite believe it when it happened, how the hell the box could crack! But it sounded aweful on the way home, with rattles and cracking everywhere!

BenLAST Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I hate tyre companies! Got some nice new tyres fitted this morning, asked for the weights to be put on the INSIDE, which he happily did for one. Got home to find one on the outside, one in the inside! Morons! Will be taking it back down there next week and getting them to do it properly as i asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
