Rate my rear!

I know its not a great effrort, but it might help you (or the viewers) with their choice??

Thats a good option, I'm worried if I do that it might demonstrate a lack of sills, certainly they aren't painted the same blue as the rest of the car.

Also there is a fibreglass lip grafted to the front bumper giving it a lower stance there too.

Fibreglass.
Blue.

At last I've found a thread truly deserving of this picture.



I voted for stock bumper, body colour earlier.

What will cost you? Wouldn't you rather use those pennies on uprated lower springs etc...?
I'd be looking at improving what's underneath first - then annoying the unsuspecting as often as possible ;D

Option 5.
Smurfs have white trousers do they not? add the new rear bumper and then paint it and the skirts (and probably front valance/bumper?) in white!

Failing that Bruc'es mockup loks OK to me

I would like to retract my vote for "original bumper" and go with Smelleyferret's option ;D

And if the bonnet is red, why not go for red bumpers for the Papa Smurf look?

My reason for building the car is just for fun and a bit of a distraction;

I'm feeling increasingly trapped in my job and house, I wanted to be getting on with having the house sold and working on the new one, but it is not to be.

It has left me so frustrated because there are so many projects I've put off until we've got moved and I'm reluctant to do anymore on our current house as it really doesn't need anything save for a lick of paint here and there.

So the ax popped up on ebay and was bought outside of the auction for £100, because it was local and looked like it could do with rescuing. I've worked on it steadily since I bought it.

The idea was to build it ready for next year's practical performance car 999 challenge.

The current speclist is as follows:

'98 Vtr engine & gearbox, 67k
Gmax shocks all round,
spax springs,
poowerflow exhaust,
miltek 421 manifold,
pipercross filter,
citroen 14" alloys with 185/55 14 tyres,
saxo vtr suspension & brakes all round
ebay cheapy steering wheel.

The car and the above stands be at £142

I was tempted to go for the rally look, but that contradicts the bonnet and the fact the shell is a 5 door, its not really rat look, its more craplook.

I just want it to be reasonable looking (3 mile metre rule!), but I'm not that good with tying one look up well.

Wow, essay!

Tim, are you VTS'ing it??
keep it as standard looking as possible you must have a mass of spares still kicking around from the millions of GT's you've had over the years! lol
