roof looks beauty and the rest of the car aint too shabby either. do you have any close up pics of the wheels?

mack

still needs some work, but not bad for 3months work with only spending a few nights a week down the garage for me not to notice he'd gone for that long!!

Pic of ma wheels:

Headed out to our local show (Volsfest Wales) this weekend, got some pics of the lowering now it's been dumped :-D piccy time!

Comments always welcome :-D

also it was my birthday yesterday, and check out my cake my boyfriend made me!!

in her lil cardboard garage:

Cool or what?!?

your car is crying out for some hot-rod inspired pin-striping and some white tyre paint on the letters on the sidewalls especially with those jumbo size rear tyres

Like how its looking , However because its been styled for a girl driver (purple roof and dark red inserts on the snowflakes) its not my taste.

Think it would good with abit of rake , Lower the front abit more so its slightly stanted forwards.

Also maybe tint the rear light all red , and put the badges back on, Looks abit bare.

Now, for the cake lol, Awsome!

mind if i ask how the roof effect was done- was it stencilled through lace?

mack

Need more pics of that roof!

And I've always liked those Rocco/Cab wheels,they suit the MK2 Coupe really well too (Id be runing 165/60s all round on them but it not my car).

Well I'm looking into gettin some BF goodrich tyres for the rear.... :-D

and maybe a bit of pinstriping on the boot too, kinda going with the hotrod inspired look, but nothing OTT

It's got quite a bit of rake atm, lowered 70/40 with fatter tires on the back, dunno if that doesn't come out on the pics...

IMO it looks better without the badges, but each to their own!

It's through lace as a stencil, kinda a bit of a hot-rod touch
