carbon copy's FCS '06 RS-1 Preview...

[Christopher]

Evening all,

Over the coming months my car will be turning into something resembling this...

FK Coilovers - January
Wheels refurbed in Trophy colour - Feb/March
Light tints all round - March/April

Callipers also to be stripped down and sprayed silver.

What do you people think?

Any suggestions?

Chris

Many thanks to Dan for the photoshop genius.

 

[Middo]

i'd post my plans, but they're secret lol

 

[Ads_172]

Car p**n...

Crazy idea, but what would the handles look like coloured the same as the wheels?

 

[Christopher]

hmmm

or carbon fibre. :evil:

 

[Rich]

Will look good, I like.

 

[fUbAr]

If thats the case then when you thinking of floggin her?

 

[Dan Page]

s**t hot

Got Oulton booked for early next year. Then she is to get a good smashing in at FCS. :evil: If the track is better laid out than last years dangerous stupidity. :dapprove:

Well i needed her to look good before she appears in track day reviews didn't I?!!

As for driving it more...she just turned 60k! That's 12k since i got her in April!

 

[patty]

get a carbon bonnet too

 

[Christopher]

it's on the list as a possibility.

 

[sh33n]

Will be mint when done!

 

[Ali]

s**t Hot mate...TBH tho, don't go for the trophy colour rims, it's not that nice, GTgaz's colour is amazing and will compliment the silver better. Never noticed the aerial on the front of the mk1 172. emm...Calipers - silver good choice.

Light tintin?? Window tints look good, wouldn't go any darker than 30%

Just my humble opinion on the hybrid shed.

[Floodie]

nice one.. Where do you get the 2L 16V door badges from in that dark colour? thats what i am looking for
