Freshly painted arches most likely full of filler! A bar in the arch, mates on the bootlid thats a recipe for disaster if i ever saw one!

Mon Jun 08, 2009 5:34 pm

Really nice motor there dude!

It's good to see a cabby that's not barry but still not oem. Wheels are awesome, the only thing that isn't to my taste are the sideskirts and the tailpipe.

Mon Jun 08, 2009 5:54 pm

Thanks for your comment fella..as soon as i can find some BBS skirts they will be changed and for the tailpipe well as soon as funds are raised again i`ll be buying a some kind of exhaust for it.

Sat Jun 13, 2009 9:09 pm

lights look

how much would you charge to do me set?
i will supply lights.

Sat Jun 13, 2009 9:12 pm

They look VERY dark - what are they? Smoked hellas / DIY? They look good in my opinion

Sun Jun 14, 2009 12:01 am

d.i.y guys.. just been out driving with them they look good in the dark lite up, but will need brighter HID`s think i got some fog light ones in my main lights.

FMH: Dude you can do them yourself all you need is a heat gun and some black paint i used the the high temperature paint because of the HID`s

can anyone tell me what ones to go for for the main driving lights.
