thats looking really good atm

what plans u got for her?
get rid of the 106 badge maybe? new lights - angel eyes?

[V6Jules]

looks good but has the nearside door been resprayed as it doesnt seem to match the rear quarter or front wing so well? or is it just the light.

not keen on black bonnet logos it looks like they ent there?

pretty smart otherwise though :)

[charliej]

The car came without badges, so i thought i wood be different and re-badge it, and so i put a black 106 badge on instead!!
Wanna spray the bumper strips gloss black, get black angel eyes and just play around with bits. De-wiper maybe?

But yer really happy wiht how shes looking atm!!
Thanks for yuor comments.

[j106]

Looking smart mate, black wheels look really good although im not to keen on the black bonnet badge

[charliej]

Really not sure about the door...have noticed that myself..maybe a new door wass replaced before i bought the car, but the lugt defo doesnt help matters!

[will_ainsworth]

Looks lovely that mate, get a gti spoiler, black fog inserts, darker headlights, gloss black bumpstrips, dewiper, debadge and forgot sake get some tyre shine!!!!

[charliej]

[Wizza]

^^^The Quiky badges are a bugger to remove mate... Get some sticky stuff remover or similar... May do the job...

I really like the car by the way... Black and silver FTW... I'm biased though!!!

[drka-drka]

wizza!!! the quiky badges are so easy to take off, heatgun/hairdryer and they come off a treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wizza]

Mine where a right bugger to remove... LOL!!!

[drka-drka]

right, the headlights are tinted on here but they're intended to be black angel eyes, just did them black to get an idea..... de-barred front bumper..... black wing mirror covers.... tint the fog lights black... paint the pug badge on the bonnet black... smoked MR's..... tsw pace's sprayed matte black..... and its getting lowered next month....

if you're taking the badges off, just heat them up with a hair dryer, as said before.... if anything goes wrong just buy some new ones, they're not that expensive.....

how much more you doing to yours?

[charliej]

hmmmm..now pretty skint to be honest, and im going to uni this year, so need as much cash as possible!!
Wanna get a nice sounding exhuast maybe just just a backbox...whats yours? It looks nice!
Just been looking in my garage at my spax lowrring box and the reference number on the box refers to 60mm springs, so maybe i got sent the wrng ones....but how ever low it is..i love it?


Can anyone help me...how low is my car at the front????

[charliej]

Wizza put some pics up of your car on this thread...wanna see some of the finished product!

[Dave-R]

Charlie mate. It's looking good. You've got the mod bug for sure. I love the red bolts! I've not seen this done before and personally, I think it looks quality :)

[charliej]

hey man...cheers for the comment, yer me and my mate thought there be a nice touch!So what stuff you got lined for your minto beast?!

Man how lovely are quiksilvers, i actually love them! Ideally i wood love to do so much more, like full straight throughs, minto backbox, 421 manifold, GTI ENGINE, uprated brakes, the lot, however i need to save money for uni this year, but i keep spending, how my car looks now, will be how it sits for a while i think!
