one litre wonder ;) Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 looks good but can i ask , why did you only smooth out half of the line ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickyP Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 looks good but can i ask , why did you only smooth out half of the line ?Looks good Rich Im with Craig though why did you delete part of the line.Oh and beat you Well its like this, I was originally going to use the smashed bumper and the one on the loop. Chop out the section on the battered one and then weld/bond in to original bumper. So I chopped out along the line, then I thought I will just play about on the one bumper as I have never done this before.Because I chopped through it it was damn near impossible to get a completely smooth and correctly shaped line, so I thought fill line up to the bottom features and smooth it there. Didn't want to remove completely because the line runs around the whole car I thought it would be odd for it to be completely removed.So reading between the lines it was a cock up!!But thanks for the kind words. And the RC's are off being cleaned, they were taken off for MOT as I didn't trust them to not smack them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickyP Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) Been thinking about spacing the rears for a while to get the rear stance right. Bluloop provided 20mm FK hubcentric so I gave them a go.Left is standard 35offset right is with 20mm spacer 15mm offset.Also got the 280mm upgrade done,BeforeAfterAnd one from the back!!!

Joe Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Looks good.You going to have any trouble with scrubbing?280s look much better behind the wheels.On a side note, I see the digging has commenced on the mansion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC02 FFF Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 oh dear lord that is just..... amazing! those rims are just HOT! they look quiet light weight too ??/not an expert but have you replaced the seats? with e rek ones? if so was it easy? as im looking just to have the front ones changed for some nice ones like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr ColinG Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Looking good, what a difference 20mm makes, any rubbing issues.Interior is Lush too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC02 FFF Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 i feel a comp coming on bettween you 2, on who can get there loop the shiniest hah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickyP Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 There could be a little scrubbage we shall have to see how it goes.Scoff, the fronts are MK4 recaro seats. Easy fit into loops mate, only the slightest need for a grinder. Where abouts are you from?20mm makes all the difference, brakes and rear stance too. Will keep an eye on how it runs, well Saz will tell me if its making a noise!!!And yes Joe the West wing has started finally, Saz has commented on the size of the garage footprint!!
