Looking good mate, in one of those photos though i noticed the rear shock moving off the rubber, they vmaxx coilovers? If so you need to get the replacement ones

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

never spotted that. do you rekon vmaxx will cover that in the warranty?

 

[Slammed172]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

Take the bolt off and put a big washer on there for now and contact v-maxx and they will send you out replacements as they aware of the problem.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

looks good, i think you will end up needing new wheels, those i just don't think will fill the arches enough...

...may have some Images for sale later in the year...lol

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

[BIFCAIDS]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

looks good but i personaly think you've gone too far with smoothing ie, door handle and door trims!

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

Spoke to vmaxx today and there sending me out replacement shocks so ill fit those saturday.
i also just had a look at my non sunroof roof panel which has been lying around at work for 3 months for the first time and ive just booked it in to get it fitted at the end of march but its going to cost alot but it will all aid the smoothness. :approve:
Ive also just ordered from reno brand new splash guards for the 172 rear bumper so ill get pics on saturday!

 

[Slammed172]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

[danzel]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (172 kit plus smoothing)

?

I'm sorry to say this but I'm not a fan of those wheels at all! :dead:

I do however love those lights! Where are they from?

 

[Plummer]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

FK

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

danzoo they will look better once spaced.

ive just got some 70mm hubcentric fk spacers for the front to go with my streched tyres on the weekend carnt wait. I measured from the rim to the inside arch lip and it was about 30-35mm so with my streched tyres and a wee bit of camber she will sit hopefully perfect up front. Im also currently organising some custom 90mm rear springs for the rear so hopefully they should be here in the next 2 weeks from being made.

i shall update on saturday/sunday

 

[Mickb]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

i had steel spacers tommy, i could of sold you for much cheap ness if you needed 70mm.ah well

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

i wanted hubcentric ones mate as im widening the track by 35mm each side i dont want it to wobble loads. They were £125 delivered next day. expensive but atleast i will know there the best ones i can get for 70mm.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

Love watching the progress of this! going to look mint once its done!

Arent your clocks going to be out now though? there off a sport and isnt yours a 1.2?

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

Thanks Mitch, its comments like that, that spur me on to spend more in the month than i should (in a good way)

Not to sure about the clock to be honest. Ive not really looked into it. The interior wont be in till late in the year after the respray as its being retrimmed all in dark red leather with quilted detailing in some places and some small carbon details. Like a Zonda

 

[Mickb]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

nice

 

[Hutchie]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

i fitted cup clocks in my 1.2, will be fine

cant wait to see it sprayed. i still stand by the fact i think it will look better in amphsyte then painted bmw glitter brown.

 

[Naith]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

how have i missed this one!?

you hardly ever see smoothed and properly euro'd cars without them looking chavvy n shite but yours looks splendid, put a smile on my face n its not even painted yet!!

good on you lad, and the ronals are heaven!

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

Thanks for the really nice comments.

Hutch - its porsche macadamia metalic brown

Naith - It's hard trying to not look chavy at the mo due to it being loads of different colours but thankfully the people in the know (which are the people that matter) realise its not It will have the red roof on start of april.

 

[_WILL_]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

I'm getting really impatient, I really can't wait for you to get the interior done and get the car painted!! The interior is going to be sweet!

 

[Slammed172]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

^^ Agreed.

 

[Chris205]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

Loving the way this project is going mate, good on you

I cant help but feel the ronals arent wide enough for the way this car is going, could you not get a set of 8's all round on there? or maybe run a staggered stance with 8.5's and 7.5s

 

[Rob]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (stealth fitted, fk rear lights and rear bumper)

Like a Zonda

This made me crack up, for some reason I imagin'd you being Richard Hammond, sitting in the car when finished and saying "Oh looks its got carbon details, like a zonda"

Thanks for the really nice comments.

A colour that sounds tasty, good move.

Love this car, love how you're just going for it, look forward to seeing more and more updates.
