Your car looks really smart mate :)

The wheels look much better now that they're darker. Can't wait to see it with the LCR bumper!

cheers mate, didnt notice your reply...

well the bumper is now at my house... brought off ebay but my old man mentioned he was off here.. not sure of your user name but cheers pal... hopefully want to get it sprayed and sorted end of next week if i can,, same goes for the back although that will be going on the car before its sprayed and then get the two sprayed together..

and im without the car till tommorow afternoon as its having its roof done black... having second thoughts about it after seeing another car the company had done but we shall see. i wont be paying if im not happy

on daveibiza's drive.
is it sprayed?

looks ok i think the bra spoils it?

nothing againt bonnet bra's, just i dont think it goes with the whole theme, its not low enough nor does it have euro wheels. if it did then it would be spot on.

remove the bra for now, get lower, deep rims then put it back on.

on the other hand its your car do what you like.


overall, looks good. just remove the bra.

think iv only had 2 good coments on the bra so far although i like it so rekon it will be staying...
the roof is vinyl
on the other hand after the front and back bumpers are sorted, i hope to be getting a new set of wheels... taken a liking to bbs lm style or the lambo replicas iv seen about... although would realy like to go 19" this time.... then will be a set of coilovers

Lovin the black roof..... That is def something I will have done.... Did you find it any cheaper or was it £100.....

Between working 50 - 60 Hr weeks, playing with my boy, spending time with the wife and visiting my dad in the hospital all I have achieved is sending my 18's to be refurbed...

You make me feel like such a slacker:cry:

When will you have the bumpers back from the body shop????

I think the bra will look better once you have the LCR bumper on.

As for wheels, I think LM's would look cool. I'd personally go 18's but dropped on its arse.

well im a young en so dont really have anything else to do apart from work so..... compared with your long list gives you a bit of an excuse.

bumpers is the question of the hour... got a phone call at about 8 o clock off the chap thats smoothed me back bumper saying hes left his job due to a row with his boss,, it was a barrow job for him so obviously isnt going to be finished... hes told me its all fully smoothed apart from the exhaust and old tow bar hole,,, he says i can have it as it is FOC for the hastle,, but hes opening his own body shop up on the 1st july if i still want it doing by him, so question is get both bumpers done by him on the first of next month, or try and get it in a bodyshop but probably pay 3 x as much :think:... genuinly not sure if to get it done by him or not... really wanted it doing this week

now tom,, havent heard much from you lately,,, the hybrid coming along as hoped??
agree the LCR bumper may help the bonnet bra... we shall see how the wheel hunting goes, definatly sits to high atm but with a LCR front dont want to go uber low and be ripping it off at the first bumpy road or speed hump.

as for cost of the roof, it cost £80.. tried a bit of hustling but didnt work :whistle:

Been busy with work mate.
Not had much time off at all really.

Hybrid is going to plan so far. Got the odd bit to do before the end of the month, then it goes in to RS start of next month. Just got to decide wether to do water meth before or after.

well you no your gonna want to have it done at some stage so if moneys not a problem might aswell go the full wack... hope you have more luck than some cases ive recently been reading about,,, strugglers for example... but im sure you wont run into these probs with RS ;)

have been put off dished replicas after reading horror storys on other forums today... peeling and chips on the dish after 2 months

really really taken a liking to these after seeing some close up on a mk4 golf

the bloke that did the roof lol haha

he was at the clee show.. anyway the finish was crappp.. and i mean crap, lots of bubbles, scratches and around the aerial had been cut so there was a mm un-even gap round the aerial... and the edges hadnt been tucked under the roof seals... just cut... but in all honesty no complains with mine
