Touring picture request

[Jozi]

I'm looking for a picture of a touring (mauritius blue would be great) that was take nfrom roughly the same angle as this ix:



Anyone able to help?

Any use mate?

[Jozi]

I'll have a play around with it tomorrow. I've tones of pics of my own car but none quite at the same angle

The touring in your sig looks like it might be perfect

I've asked a mate can he change this one to blue:
I can't figure it out myself

Do you want the pic in my sig putting up?

After a few attempts of getting the silver touring to fit over the iX I gave up and realised it's only the windows and the tail end of the car that are different. Found a picture of my own touring taken at a similar angle and spent the last while fitting it to the iX, also put on the Borbet B's I have. Think it turned out pretty well.



What do you think of the iX arch flares and tec2 look? Have all the parts to get the look and it's what I intend on doing with the touring.

I really like the iX arch kit.
If you manage to pull it off as per the pic you are definately onto a winner

[Jozi]

I have all the bits needed with the exception of the bumper guard on the wing (or coilover which will be got down the line). The wheels/tires might look a little different once I get them fitted, not sure what was on the iX and I just stretched the borbets to fit.

Do it buddy looks the nuts

i personally think, full tech 2 kit and just the ix arches. the tech 2 sides beef up the car, thats what a touring needs, without it, they look too long and thin.

Wrong way and not sure it's the right colour but it's blue

[Jozi]

Cheers Gem, I might re-do it with that one mirrored of the angle isn't to far of.

I a picture at home of a touring with full m-tec2 kit and just the arch flares, it's looks good. But I don't want to go cutting the arch flares up, they cost me a few quid to get.

The difference a small bit of roof can give to the look of a car is quite big concidering that all it really is compared to a 2 door (their all the same below the crease line).

[FMH]

how about you get the arches replicated, sell the originals at a profit.

Here's the touring I was on about earlier:

I don't think I like it to much with the iX arches and tec2 kit. I'm pretty set on going with how it looks in my PS above, a little different to the norm.

[FMH]

it looks a lot better with tech 2 sides and just ix arches. tech 2 front and rear with ix sides makes it look as if you couldnt afford the sides or don't know what your doing.

[Jozi]

I don't think it looks good at all. The arch flares don't follow the same form as the mtec2 pods where they meet. It's a good thing we don't all have the same taste

I can always put the pods on at a later date if I don't like the look, cutting the arch flares can't really be un-done.

I like it fella everybody has there own taste!If we didn't the world would be a boring place..
