I hope you re-enforced that parcel shelf with lots of wood !

its a standard shelf.

luke

Unlikely but the bass quality would be much better if you did.

ahah.

so if youre still interested

:)

lok nice with that recessed filled int he bonnet i think the front will be looking spot on mate

cheers.

just waiting for a bit of money. dont know how much it would cost to have the recess done properly.

any ideas?

scott- they'd make a brill christmas present if you are feeling kind???

lol

LOL.

if you buy me my new wheels for xmas.

lol

what ones u looking at gettin?

is urs lowered?

I'm not sure.

if i do change them I'm defo going for black, a fair bit smaller also. :-)

was thinking some 14s, hopefully 8s on the front, 8.5s on the back

or 8.5 on the front, 9 on the back

#OR

the same width on front and back.

its lowered 50mm yeah, will drop WAY futher with smaller wheels.

BUT....will create a bigger arch gap, need to sort that out, and like iv mentioned in your other thread, i hope your puttin a fair bit of cash aside to get your arch's done

The car is lookin good tho, reminds me a little of max's old one. Would prob change the rear lights though, but all in all....its comin along nicely :)

several people have said things about the rear lights.

not in a rude manner- but what is wrong with them? lol.

i got these coz they were black and not like the other type of chavvy lexus lights.

luke

wouldnt cost much to sort the bonnet out, bit of metal welded in, skim with filler and paint, you could diy it if you have the tools

not 100 percent on the debadged grille, not been too much of a fan of em on mk4s onwards... get some pressed plates to tidy up the front and once that recess is filled in itll look spot on

thought about tinting the fog lights?

what are pressed plates? Where can i get them done?

what they look like.

i want the black background with white letters but their illlegal aparantly

luke

why dont you just spray it black for the moment and have it done propperly when you can afford it?

do you have a lil dent in your bonnet? just the way some of the reflections are warped looks odd

that don't bother me at the minute.

luke

Do you have your RCA and power cable running down the same side of the car? if so that that i most probably the reason why

yeh thanks mate. some fat idiots sat on my car!!!! it was there when i put it. tried pushing from the other side but dont work.

would a plunger pop it out?

luke

Looking good barring the rear lights mate. i spotted that your n/s/f tyre is on the legal limit too mate, be careful as u can get 3 points on you are license for each illegal tyre. Jus thought id let u know.

yeh cheers buddy. getting new tyres soon as i'm paid.

what is wrong with the back lights mate? several peeps have said they dont like em. lol.

luke

well ideally, they are stil lexus lights! I dont think they look overly bad, i once had them aswell :p But prob the best lights if you want to go down the black route is the hella's!

Get them really cheap off german ebay aswell!!
