OPINIONS PLEASE.

thankyou-






still needs to be waxed,was going to do it today but ran out of time,also waiting on some azev centre cap bolts aswell.

[Zizzle]

Looks beautiful.. well done... im doing a cab project now too..!

2 quick questions tho.. whos doing the interior? i need to get mine done soonish and what sort of setup you going to run for the sounds, ive heard cabs can be a B*itch for rattle and not letting the bass thru..!

Bless the work!

[maz1]

The colour looks stunning! What you got on the bottom of the tech 2 front bumper?

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

zizzle my mate is doing the interior for me,ive told him if he does a good jod then i will get him plenty of customers.

as for sounds wise im going to TRY and get a 15" Orion HCCA in there

maz that is a splitter a zoner gave to me,the M-Tech logo on the left hand side i did myself.

[Bewdley320T]

Credit where credits due, thats all TOP CLASS. Wish I had mates that useful, hope you look after them, especialy the sprayer, that "open air driveway" sprayjob looks excellent.
p.s. love the security post in earlier pics.

[Zizzle]

HAAHAHAHAHAA! I was going too...!! Have you heard 1?

Its that or the Jl audio 13W7.. both very good subs but the enclosure has to be huge... also i cant even imagine the rattle...!! Ohh Dear!!

Ive got a 12 in my range and it hits some of the lowest notes ive ever heard.. but it needs room to breathe..

For real tho, if your mates any good, you gotta book mine up too

Let me know about the install!

[maz1]

Shaz any idea where i can get the splitter from?

[pauldeacs]

looks great, how are you getting around the fact it has no side repeaters? you know a MOT tester ;)

what wheels are they?

[bmwbreaker]

top work fella, the paint looks fantastic!

[aceraf]

Great Job....I especially like the lip spoiler you've fitted to the bottom of the front valance.

Colour looks great aswell, and the wheels really set it off nicely.

Should look even better when the interior's done.

Any plans of a hardtop? I think a colout coded hardtop would be the finishing touch

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

thanks for all your +comments

Zizzle i have heard one of them orions,in my brothers MK4 golf,and i tell you what,havent heard nothing better yet!

maz1 dont know where you can get tem splitters sorry.

pauldeacs,i have a mate who is a MOT tester,but going to put some repaeters on,not yet finished

aceraf,i have 2 hardtops,1 colour coded(needs to be colour coded to my colour)and a vynyl one,so thats the last thing im going to do.cheers

[MAJ-POWER]

loooks brill. especially the front splitter, loving the drop.

are the black leathers in good nick. considering your getting a re-trim, would you be interested in selling them? i can give you my cloth ones on top.

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

already sold them mate sorry.

[MAJ-POWER]

ooooops, bit too late? how much is it going to cost for the re-trim? if i dont get black, i'm going for red/maroon

[Motorsport_325i]

ive just done a project on a blue cab like only diffrence i got 16" 9j azev

[bigrimz]

car looks stunning

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

cheers guys,will get some more pics up later this week.

[snoops]

now that is definitely my favourite cab on the zone, dips gets the favourite touring

I've been waiting to see the finished pictures and you've pulled it off very well, my favourite alloys especially with the 8.5j rears

what 'K' HID's are they? didn't see the big fuss about HIDs before but now I've seen yours I'm definitely gonna get some

I will also hopefully have a cab project to play with very soon and my plans for it are very similar to yours apart from colour and leather re trim as I don't think I'll be able to maintain the condition, but if I did get a re trim it would either be red or lotus white and you've now done both , also the wheels as I doubt I'll find a set of 8.5js in the future? If you ever come across any let me know

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

hey snoops,HID's are 8000K.

cheers for your +comments mate.

look forard to seeing your project mate.

if i come across any 8.5J's will give you a shout.

[driftmaster]

Shaz, definately looks the part mate...i'm gonna come down to see it sooner than planned

[kam325itouring]

Saw this car in the flesh yesterday Shaz the car is bad asss!!! and dropped to the floor, i had trouble getting it into my garage!! the rear wheels are right in the arch you cant even see the tyre...

The front splitter is a Renault Laguna one, with out the vents about £20 from the dealers i think...

The amount of people i had looking at it when it was outside the shop, thats what makes all the hard work worthwhile!!

[mikeyboy]

i must say when i saw pictures of the paint on the drive outside i was sceptical but it looks good SHAZ!

i dont want to be too nosey but since purchasing the car in what region have you spent on the Cab? are you happy with it? i only ask to gauge your opinion on whats been done as i think you mentioned it mates who have helped you through this.

i sound like a journo now- Dont meant too!

WELL DONE

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

driftmaster-bruv just give me a shout when you plan on coming down.

kam-bruv really apprecitate booking me in on short notice,thanks mate.

mikeyboy-it owes me as it stands about £2000-£2500,still have the leathers to do,the i.c.e,the hardtop etc etc.

cheers guys!

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

will be going in to the retrimmers soon to get the leathers put in,they have nearly finished them.
