im looking for some coilys for mine, but i have a smaller budget than d2's. where did ya get em mate? how much did they set you back? can they get anymore? Rich.

go into halfords and ask for a tube of rubbing compound (thats its name, yellow tube)... if they say they dont do it theyre being lazy!!! Rich.

yeah i love that look too... this kinda thing.... i'd love to get mine remounted like this. Rich.

sorry mate, i personally think the plastic primer is shite.... it comes off in long strips when you try and sand it... the normal primer is ok. as you say use some fine wet an dry, and some rubbing compound and it'll be shiny as. hmm, i havent found a big advantage with lots of laquer, you need a fair amount, but then as above use some fine wet an dry if uve got un even surfaces, and then use rubbing compound. its fantastic stuff. the 3m hand glaze it good too. Rich.

the 16v's are nippy... the 8 valves are shite slow. they have speed that rivals continental drift!!! Rich.

love the wheels. Rich.

gotta agree. Rich.

that looks bloody insane!! Rich.

lol yeah totally mate. Rich.

you have no idea!!!!! Rich.

that is a good idea... i'll chat to si an geo if hes about. Rich.

good effort mate... looks nice an shiny. let us know how you get on. Rich.

do i have the best of both worlds then??!! Rich.

cheers guys... i thought i'd put them up for ya... you guys crack me up!! you know it!! Rich.

thats a good find!! Rich.

just thought this would be an interesting thread... post up pics of your favorite colours!! two of my favorites!! candy red!!!! kawasaki racing green!!! Rich.

it was a tough job, but its well worth it in the end... and i can say that no one has a bumper like that on a starlet!! Rich.

this is how my bumper was constructed gradually over 8 months...

some pics for ya mate... Rich.

they are auto guage smoked jobbies... look black untill you turn the lights on... and did i make the pod myself??? of course i did!!! where theres a will theres a way!!! Rich.

yeah... i was thinkin that!! Rich.

i dunno whether you can get them chipped mate.... Rich.

o well looks like i'll be selling the cluster!! i printed them on some card mate. Rich.

ok fitted the cluster into the car and it has different wiring to my australian spec car... so it'll only work in a uk spec car!!! DOH!!! altho i did manage to get some night time pics... they do look ace i must admit!! Rich.
