I bought this car 2 years ago, and about 15 months ago i started buying parts for it and wanted to go all out with it.

So i decided to make it completely my own.

Here is the car before i started.
http://i30.tinypic.com/2bnzf4.jpg

So what i did to it.

Dmax Carbon fibre Bonnet
Carbon wrapped mirrors, wind visors, pillars.
Bn sports 50mm front wings
Full origin streamline kit
50/50 rear light
Origin carbon fibre 3 piece spoiler
Chrome Works eurolines s2h rims
2 sparco recliners
Rear 70mm BN sports fenders
Spacers all round
New Carpet and rear interior
Full respray

And aload of other smaller stuff, all the engine work, mapping etc.. was done in 2009.

So here she is, im delighted with it, it is completely my own, and it is a great feeling to know i did 90% of the work myself.

Sorry Scamper i don't like it.

I'm not a fan of the wheels or the colour.

Fair play for doing all the work yourself was a great build and nice to see you did it yourself.

Yellow recaros would look mint in it!!
Carbon wrap roof and rear spoiler would be cool too!

Came out very well and alot of time and hard work these projects do take.

Im on the bench about the wheels tho

paulr5
13-04-11, 19:32
Its nice get johnbro to photoshop a black roof or carbon wrap it??? Dont know about the spoiler but i wouldnt put a bgw on it,

its too much like a wiz kahlifa song:p

personally id put it on white TE37's (or grids), paint the bonnet yellow and anything else thats black, yellow and drop it more! if you did that you would be onto a winner!

but all the same its the way you want it, jst needs a few bits changed like the wheels to look savage IMO

some inspiration , this car and the c's garge onevia make me love yellow :D

13-04-11, 20:53
I'd space the wheels out a bit more maybe smaller width tyres with more stretch :cool:

As everyone said well done on doing all the work.but sorry I think the seats and wheels ruin it :o

13-04-11, 22:07

SUPER 180
13-04-11, 22:13

Have to agree :o It just doesnt work for me. New wheels would go a long way to helping the situation.

Congrats on getting it to how you wanted it though.

get a pair of white rota torques under it or some kind of white wheel would suit yellow more than the chrome wheels

Romo
13-04-11, 22:51
Colours like that never come through properly on photos, say it looks better in person, think the wheels let it down but i like the rest ;)

13-04-11, 23:19
Fair play for getting it finished scamp,i think its looks good,but been honest the wheels do nothing for it and im not sure on the spoiler either but other then that she looks good

Scamper
14-04-11, 08:08
Jasus, not alot on here like it, ah well, im not bothered, im absolutely delighted with it, and i will say the pics dont do it half the justice they should, ill bring it to an event once its on the road, ye can see her in person then.

And to the people who said it was nicer before, i did love it in the bronze myself, but over time, she got rough and then it came to a point where i had to do it up again. And i already had the bronze on it for 2 years, so i just fancied a change, and always wanted a yellow car so.....................:D

14-04-11, 08:17
