yeah i know about the badge. im 50/50

was poss thinking of losing the wiper too lol

it is the fl boot, and led lights, it was a bit of a pita

the wiring needs extending, there interior trim is different....then you need the spoiler and catch and handle lol

jake

.....sounds like hassle hahaha

Want the led lights, expensive tho aren't they?

 

[jake]

Yeah about 450 ish lol.

I've ordered a glass blank off venom motorsports.

Jake

 

[hubbly_bubbly]

Your work is epic Jake!

Cant wait to see the finished diffuser.

I would definitely say go black with the spoiler, will tie in beautifully with the gloss diffuser.

Would it be an option to black out the roof? Think it will look awesome with all the other black accents on your car.

 

[jake]

i am tempted to go black,

the roof not so much, there's a yellow tdi round here and it just doesn't suit the car

 

[betty_swollox]

Jake

IMAG1530 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

IMAG1543 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

Bit undecided on it, the tips 4" perhaps should of gone 3.5"

Anyway also decided to half paint my spoiler black like this


spoiler by cuprajake1, on Flickr

It's getting there slowly

[betty_swollox]

Looks like something off a jap tuner car....


...I like it lol

Piper exhaust looks good. I messaged them about a K1 exhaust but they weren't interested. Would like some other options.

 

[jake]

The build quality looks really good, it's fairly loud, but then it wasn't connected properly only slipped on, as it has to come off for paint.

Bcs mate

 

[jake]

Speaking of bcs the piper tips are the same size as the bcs 4" tips.

Really????

Yours looks bigger :gay::gay::gay:

 

[jake]

Yeah 4" saying that I've not measured them.

The pipe work is 3-3.5" it's huge. They also gave me a length of pipe so I could go right to the cat if I cut the pipe....

Once it's all painted and the wheels on it should all tie together quite well, then ill give the car a bloody good clean, new screen still hasn't been fitted yet either

 

[betty_swollox]

Sounds mint mate!! I couldn't believe the pipe work when I saw my downpipe before it got fitted, thought it was just gna be a bit bigger than a copper pipe hahahah

It'll look unreal with diffuser, those massive pipes and btcc bumper

 

[Daniel M]

Looking good mate, wish I could just do all this stuff with such ease.

 

[jake]

Lol so do I hahah.

It's simple stuff having the right tools makes all the difference, the hardest part is having the balls to cut up a btcc bumper costing god knows how much, then cutting up a £200 splitter lol.
