Wahey! :-D Looking good Daniel-san, its the bready version of the moustache mobile haha, need to get cracking on my pair if think!

Had much luck shifting the valver?

  • Author

haven't advertised it to be honest jon, will do in a few weeks, the bready goes on the road monday so the valver can be sold anytime

Looking fucking sick dude!!!!

Loving the lamps. 1st time I've actually seen them, as last time u showed me it was all a bit erm.. blurry? lmao!

Could that be something to do with the vodka-redbulls? lol Yeh I think they're ok, bloody bright!! Might run them over winter then take them off

Nahh, keep em on

You will miss the light if you take them off, trust me haha!

I ran without the hella for a month or so, and u fuckin hated it because i couldn't see anything :lol:

and yes, the vodka could have had something to do with it :lol:

chop chop on the front and its win win all round :)

Yeah front needs to come down , But everything else is just pure :thumbsup:

Perfect colour, Perfect wheels and perfect touches :smirk:

Very nice breadie! Love the spot lights :D

  • Author

Thanks :-D

Booked in saturday morning to have the tracking done, then hopefully if the weathers nice i'll give it a good polish and take some better pics

Win'emon!

G40 engine next then yeh?

that paints a good match!! it isnt laquered either is it? n yes the front does need to come down a bit, should leave the lamps on but make a mk2 bumper fit so it looks like it does up there^^ and stop spending cash on it!!!

No back seats or seatbelts so no fat passengers to ruin my tyres lol

Nath, i'll speak to you tonight about my further plans :ninja:

Bitec in telford, they're just an automotive paint supplier, colour was matched to the paintcode.

they're not bad for rattle cans, the spray pattern is really good, it was £13 per 400ml can

sick 8-)

Looks epic man!

Maybe for sale... realised just how un-practical it is when I couldnt get off my drive without scratching the exhaust.... :angry: whats it going to be like with a passenger?!

  • Author

Few pics of it cleaned although the rear bumpers back on now and the tracking has been done and taxed and on the road

Oh and new wing mirrors as the old ones were really shakey and one was missing its adjustor wires :-s

Forgot to add as well I've fitted a full remote central locking kit and locking wheel nuts for those smoors!

2nd edit!? also forgot the aero wipers, jesus how much money have I spent on this?! I keep remembering stuff!

Dude, keep it......chop front spirngs.....ROLLING!

Don't make me come down there and go all iron man on you are ass :lol: (don't ask what i mean by that, as i don't really know myself)

If you sell this, ill kill you!

unpractical my arse, you just need to fix the exhaust properly.

  • Author

The exhaust is as tucked up as it can be, its had all new shorter rubbers put on to try and pull it up.

Its not un-practical, or at least it wouldnt be anywhere else in the country but you know what the road to mines like!

I might stick a 60mm kit on the back and get a bit of rake on the go, see how it goes then

Having second thoughts about selling the 16v now as well though, I wrote out the for sale ad tonight and was going through the pics thinking god i really dont want to do this! I think I either want to keep both or get rid of both and buy something completly different

DO NOT SELL THEM!!!
