Does anyone actaully like that? Looks like a Garry boy muppet special in my opinion.

 

[rt172]

Does look a bit odd

 

[Essex_Lad]

yea but its original!

 

[boyracer666]

great idea but its a little big i think

 

[Jim172CUP]

i like it. Id not have it on my car but it looks good and original.

 

[craigy172]

well people are going to like it and people wont like it but the majority of people i spoke to like it, its something no ones got better to stand out then to be boring and be plain. everyone has evo or f50 or badboy thats boring thats why i had that no one has it and hopefully no one will have it. neil82 cup know u dont like it but hey its better then being boring and do nothing and its no gary boy muppet special not with 197bhp under that bonnet vent

 

[RicH-]

Hit a nerve? Sorry but that is a Garry boy special m8 especially with those head light strip things

 

[Neil82]

Apart from that the car looks very nice love the side skirts the best!

 

[craigy172]

thanks, but like i say people are going to like it and some people wont like it, got to experiment and be different dont like my cars to look like all the others thats boring. didnt hit a nerve cause i love it

 

[Neil82]

Im seriously considering fitting the same engine mods as you but see the unichip is it easy to remove or is it hard wired onto the ECU (i would like to remove it for serving etc)

 

[badboy_mc]

while ya here , where the hell did ya get ya rear lights ??????

 

[craigy172]

you can remove it but i dont know how easy it is to take out for servicing etc think its hard wired to your exsisting ecu so would have thought it would be tricky have to ask the experts.

 

[rap-]

well I think its looks the bizz

 

[badboy_mc]

rear lights ????

 

[Sawa]

have to agree with Rap on that - i think it looks wicked!

 

[Ben j]

looks mint i say. i like it. if your happy with ya plane boring same as everyone else bonnet than fair enough to ya, if u wanna be a common sheep in the flock.. baaa baaa - but if u wanna have a crowd looker be different...

 

[craigy172]

thanks ben j totaly agree and more planned tomorrow

rear lights cost £355 and its a secret special place i know

 

[Ben j]

[craigy172]

[Rousey]

wow, didnt think this post would get that big, heh, just wanna say about that picture, ahhhh how did my clio creep in the side, lol, my claim to fame, leader of the clio 5 door crew lol

 

[badboy_mc]

355 quid hmmm i think ill pass on dem , either that or get mine remade in gold with diamond reverse lights for about the same price

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Craigy, I think it looks dead smart ..... top marks for originality. The guy that fabricated and attached it to the bonnet deserves a medal!

umm he didnt he cut, welded and smoothed all out of metal in the bonnet

 

[Nick Read]

LOL gary boy muppet special!

I reckon its quality. Originality is what counts and that has got it by the bucketload. I had a better look at that bonnet at the FCS and its no tuppeny-hapenny job either.

 

[Ben j]

i dont think there was one point at that show where there wasnt someone looking at it within like 2 mins of eachother!!

 

[craigy172]

[Ben j]

[Graham Gooch]

[Jas]

[Ben j]
