OWZ Rules old car? I've been trying to contact this guy for AGES!!!!

Damn, looks like he won't becoming back now...

Cool car though, very unique.

Might be pushing it a bit, but have you got his number?? I just wanted to ask him something about a guide he wrote.

Oh and the only thing I'd change, spacers, 100%

 

[Dweeb]

looks sweet! like the bonnet

 

[Daniel]

Spacers spacers spacers spacers!!

Looks nice though, looking at it, its had MEGA money thrown at it. Could have probably bought a V6 for what someone's spent on that!

user name OLR ? yep his old car.
you have a PM
he has a 197 now. so might be back.
guide on dash conversion?

spacers have been bought, just need to get some extended wheel bolts.

i went through the receipts and its close to 5k in the last 3 years. and that dosent include the body work, rear axel, or entire interior

 

[theduck]

I dont know why, but I really dont like it at all. The wheels look all kinds of wrong, and as above needs spacers, dont like the smoothed bonnet and something about the backend looks wrong to, but I cant qork out what, almost like the rear bumper is too wide.

Have to say though, I do like the colour!

 

[Aaron182.]

Ph2 rear lights needed maybe ?

i think i want 16" wheels aswell.

smoothed bonnets are a Marmite subject lets not lie

 

[PP200t]

I like it, def get some ph2 rear lights and I agree on the wheels. I actually like the bonnet.

 

[Fletcher]

I like the colour.

 

[latza]

how much was it

 

[Daz.]

Yup great colour - 16's and spacers a must.

I don't mind the bonnet but if it was mine I'd look into have a diamond sticker to mimic a standard item.

 

[Aaron182.]

Latza you have a pm

hubcentric spacers orderd =] hopefully 25mm each side will be enough

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Lovin the colour and the bonnet gets my vote as well, wheels and spacers can be sorted anytime. The only thing I would say is that ph2 bits belong on ph2's get her back to standard (headlights as well) and its possibly my fav ph1.

Oh and minus the window tints

 

[Aaron182.]

i tried the standard headlights. just didnt seem to work with the colour. im happy with the black. i think it makes it look a little aggresive

window tints will be staying (work gear in the back) unfortunatly

it would be nice to have her back to standard. BUT getting hold of a bumper in my colour is next to impossible =[


any recommendations on wheels with a lower offset that what ever it is i have???

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Sorry mate I didnt read through it properly, I was saying get rid of the angel eyes but it would seem im too lazy to read lol.

Your not gonna get a ph1 rear in that colour but theres plently about for little £££, get one sprayed up and fitted.

Fogs should be same colour as headlights in my book

 

[Aaron182.]

Lazy B*****D

not worth the money in my eyes spraying a new bumper. untill i run out of other ideas. haha
tempted to turn the fogs into cold air feeds. or would it look better just tiniting them black?

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Get them black and maybe think about a splitter, if you do go down that road then the wheels would have to be black as well.

 

[The Sherrif70]

Hi,
I wanted to buy that car. I think I phoned the day he sold it. I thought it was a cheap car considering what had been spent on it. Good luck with it, and if you paid what I think you paid for it, then I think you had one hell of a bargain!! Well done!
Rich

 

[Aaron182.]

Hi. and welcome. =] bought on the 7th may. and yeah was an absoloute bargain. especialy as its had 3500 spent on the engine conversion alone. and thanks good luck in your search

 

[Aaron182.]

i realy want a carbon k-tec splitter. but their are just to many speed bumps around my area. so i might try one of the skoda splitters.

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Cupra type r, £25 from Seat !

 

[Aaron182.]

been their done that on my old 206. i dont think it would work coz of the number plate recess in the splitter. unless you can prove me wrong

 

[Scrooge]

I like it, your plans sound good too

 

[Rob]

If I were you, I'd do the following:

Standard headlights
Skoda splitter
Spacers all around
O.Z Ultralegerras/superlegerras
Remove tints

It'll look SO much tidier, I've always been a fan of this car.

It fits, I have one on

 

[Aaron182.]

[Dweeb]

your chap work at tavi tyres ?

 

[Skittles]

Indeed he does

 

[Aaron182.]

he did say you liked the colour of my car lol. im sure i'll be up their again soon. new tyres are in order.

 

[Vicky.]

I really like it! Will be better once you've whacked some spacers on

 

[danzel]

That looks great, I have to say, the ph1 rear lights + ph2 rear bumper combo look good imo

 

[Aaron182.]

^^^ =] thanks


just a small update.
20mm spacers on the front.
Before

After

 

[Rob]

Spacers make a good difference, just need to do the rears now

(Put the 20's on the rear and buy some 30's for the front )

 

[Aaron182.]

thats exactly what i was thinking tbh =]

 

[andywa]

Looks good. Love the colour.
