How are you going to link the arch into the recessed trim line (especially at the rear)
oh and i think the green strip looks ace, sets off the wheels, but no yellow lenses - standard clear ones i think

My opinion on the headlights is.... they ming.
In earlier photos when the lights were'nt in place, I was hoping that you would replace the standard nasty lights with something smaller and recessed quite far back.
Twin round lights, kinda like an E28.

I might do, i have the pefect headlights sitting there but i kind of like the shape of the 505 ones too! Once it has its MOT at the end of jan il be able to experiment all i want.

Fair play that looks fapping amazing. Keep the lens' clear, yellow just doesnt look right.
Cant wait to see you get this on the road, I'm sure the MOT man is gonna love it as much as everyone else.

Pfft, lazy sod! Where's your 2 metre high star exhaust?!
Seriously looks superb. Will you be leaving the arches/wheels on for MOT?

I have an exhaust idea but its not wallet freindly I'm afrade!! Wheels will have to be on there for the MOT I don't think my man will see fault in them tho, I hope It drives like w*nk, main problem is the wheels are out of balance so it feels more like driving a wackerplate otherwise it feels ok, is got powersteering so no problems there bt you can feel that the KPI is way out. Ride wise its relly smooth! and randomly scrapes on the camber of the road ;D oh the Metros £2250ono currently athough you might have to wait for it.. Its replacement is being sort as i type. I'm having a hard time selling it because its a awsome 'allrounder' car Its good at just about everything so makes a great daily. Trouble is i don't want to change it and cars that i cant mod just get in the way in my life! |

If Satan built a 505 GTi to kill God with, that would be it.

Ah so it is fairly driveable then. Thats the main problem i've got with fitting those 235/50s to something as all my cars are non pas and i'm built like a undernourished african so parking would be a nightmare.

I really really really wish I had the time / money / equipment to knock out severely cool cars as quickly as you do.
