True, I love that colour I can't wait to see yours

 

[Laura]

What colour is the bay going eventually?

Yellow same as the rest. with some shiney shiney bits

smoothing the bay or most bodywork staying totally stock?

bay is just having all trays and brackets removed (done already) any un needed holes welded and loom hidden.

exterior will look stock with just a few little subtle treats

Nice job Laura! You on e38 ?

[Laura]

Dont have a clio, not overly interested in clios anymore.
dont have time to sit for hours on the wed these days

 

[mugglesquop]

nice

i got a Mk1 Caddy i'm working on at the moment. good luck with it

 

[seb]

looks like it could be a cracking motor. keep this thread updated.

 

[Nafoff]

what wheels?

 

[Laura]

Not sure as yet, 1st there will be some 14" RH cups as we ahve them already off my ex's polo, i would love some 14" BBS Rs, there are some on e38 but they are a grand and they need a full refurb, wider dish's and tyres... money thats better spent else where atm

 

[Djw Dave]

This WILL be sweet! (like your face)

sounds good, banded steels in the future? what about minilites? wonder what they would look like

 

[LFCJosh]

hard to make mini lites work i think, as you need to be sooo low.
if you can doit they look awesome though

 

[Laura]

Not really a far of mini lights or banded steels tbh, not the look im going for on this one...

the next one however!

US spec front end, berg kit and 11" banded steels on the rear.. i think so lol

 

[Nafoff]

you know what your doing....look forward to seeing results

 

[mugglesquop]

i got some BBS's (BMW E36 type) in mint condition... just sold to a mate with a Mk1 Golf for £50 lol

 

[Laura]

rs's/ rm's or nothing for me...

well in an ideal wotld anyway lol
