could also try some strong cutting compound, something like meguiars #85 diamond cut compound or if that is too harsh try megs #83

good pics but as stated a longer lens is a must, if you have shot the originals at max quality and size then you should be able to get some decent close ups as long as you dont intend in printing them as web based images only need to be a resolution of 72ppi. if you have photoshop make a new...

mine is a work in progress, only just got my new sub today. it will be along the lines of the one i made with my bro for his saxo but probably without the amp window

yup should be fine mate, if you do a decent job then there is no reason why it cant last for ages, half the clio is made from plastic which has been painted and that doesnt fall off.

its because there are more and more uninsured drivers out there and as a result those of us who are good and pay our insurance end up having to cover the short fall, this means higher premiums and will in turn result in more people not being able to afford it and driving without insurance. its a...

mine is lowered 50mm on 17s and it doesnt rub, even on full lock or with 4 people in the car over speed bumps

cheers schweppy :) i put the tweeters there as the are too big to fit under the original tweeter grill and it would involve taking half the dash apart and running a lot more cable, was easier this way and still sounds great

Little update Recently i have started on the audio, i have finally got round to fitting my ipod cable, my alpine headunit is a direct speed ipod unit so you search for the tracks on your ipod through your headunit, it also charges it. i have also fitted some pioneer front components, i got...

you might find this site of some use http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/ on a side not ive got some NS2's, for the money they arent that bad, i only have a 1.2 and use my car mainly for city driving so rarely drive the car hard. for this in mind they are adequate, but if you want something for...

As resquested car: engine bay:

its up to you mate, fitting the wings is easier but then you will have more parts to paint and you will have to get official side skirts which are more expensive. the body shop i enquired about also said if you do the wings you would have to paint the bonnet to blend it in. i painted mine myself

very nice mate. went to HK a few summers ago, awesome place :)

mine was about £45 as i did it myself :) bargain

fit a 182 replica exhaust ? saves filling the holes

no need to remove the dash, why dont you fit the tweeter to the door card, and leave the stock tweeter in place, the replacement one will sound better being run from the crossover. to power the cross over just cut the connector off the door speaker and run a cable from that to your crossover...

Re: WTF "appreciation" thread it does look like it has been done to a decent standard unlike half the cars in this thread, xquisite is a decent bodyshop from the work i have seen. i just think wrapping your car up in leather and vinyl is a bit mad

they are under the car mate, there is like a plastic sheet which connects the bumper to the car and they are located about a foot in from the splitter

Re: WTF "appreciation" thread snake skin and green leather saxo anyone :) :eek: :dead:

You dont have to remove you spare wheel well for the k-tec system it fits round it BUT the exhausts dont match the 182 bumper cut out so you would to have to modify it and its not exactly cheap to start with. i made my own, using a mig welder and a mixture of stainless steel pipe and some...

i did mine in ford graphite grey metallic, its slightly darker but as my car is silver i wanted more contrast. (they are almost black in some light, but lighter when the sun hits them as they have a lot of flake in them. also black wheels tend to make the tyres appear grey)

only just had some more time to look at the rest of the pics, have added a few more pics

here you go buddy

i have a pipercross one and for noise its good, check my posts buddy there was a similar thread i replied too not long ago and i put up a link to a video of it

will be soon mate, just got round to doing the ICE, so will be making a false floor etc, unfortunately the sub i received was faulty so it has to go back

my car has a twin :) nice work mate, get the bumper fitting a bit better and the exhaust sticking out less and it will look spot on

for examples of flash sites have a look on www.adamssite.com for some ideas. www.tutorialized.com is also useful

cheers buddy, and yep spot on i have blurred out the background a little to hide some of the ugly mugs of the crowd :)

thanks for the comments guys, yup vignetting is a bit hit and miss depending upon personal taste, its was mainly used to keep the focus on the main subject and away from unwanted stuff in the background such as people etc. cheers James

On Sunday i went up to silverstone for the final day of a three day classic/ historical event. there was a great mix of cars and it was an awesome day, was damn hot mind. here are a few pics so far, shot about 350 pics so still have loads to go through, so will update this thread when i have...

if you need it mixing up then i would recommend www.auto-paint.co.uk, great service and a decent match for me
