LOL! His skirts look like a step into a caravan or something, and the front mesh looks like material off a bee-keepers hat! Poor car. However the paint does look quite pearly or something, which is nice.

Photo of the month? Stellar idea!

Perhaps the photographically minded of you's could run 'classes' or something to help us produce better results. Perhaps explain the basics of photography like exposures levels and things that can be adjusted on an everyday digital camera. Wee hints and tips. Help us take arty or glamorous shots of our beloved cars. Just a thought.

It'll not be long before he moderates me and stops me from spamming with useless nonsense and carbon fibre bathroom items in the general thread! You can't stop me that easily Si! Muhahahaha!

Leave my glasses and cardigans out of it!

Thought you might have meant me I'm a computer science student and have a giant, huge, uber website, mobile website, pda application and dissertation due at the end of april. So I've been sitting in front of this bloody computer solidly for like ever. And when I'm at work (security guard) I sit on the laptop and keep working on it! The forum is a nice distraction from my work - doesn't waste as much time as some online games have before. Well, that and I have no life!

What number constitutes a serious number of posts?

Hmmm, I bet my wee bro will be looking one of these once he sees that vid. And then I'll steal it. Good vid too, well edited.

Looked alright to me, but that's coming from a guy that's only ever wheelied 3 times. The first was on a Honda Big Red quad - that was awesome, and it only stayed up for 2 secs, and my pillion fell off. The second was on my Aprilia SR 125 scootay, which lasted only slightly longer than the quad wheelie, and when I touched down the wheel wasn't straight and I almost hit the kerb and nearly binned it. And the third was on an 80cc dirt bike and I had only just touched the throttle slightly. Was so surprised by it my feet came clean off the pegs and I almost came clean off the bike. I will never attempt any more!

After my first attempt at doing a custom grill turned out to look rather shabby I've decieded to try again. To remind you's how it's currently looking: As you can see the silver of the orginal grill's mount points sit behind the black mesh, mocking me, and the mesh refuses to sit flat on the right hand side! Well, I started on the mod of the grill at the weekend, but didn't have much time so only got it half done. And I forgot to take a picture before I started: The idea is to cut out all the spars in the grill, leave the oval to stick the badge back on, spray it silver, and stick black mesh to the back of it. So it should lok a LOT tidier than my previos attempt as this grill was designed to go there. I'm looking opions on what I should do with the 'slices' that are left after removing the horizontal spar: Should I leave them be, or fill them in? If I leave them as is, should I go all chav-tastic and have lights shining out of them? And should I paint the 'D' badge black before putting it back on, or leave it the chrome color it is now? All comments welcome...

Damn straight! But if I were you I wouldn't have let them anywhere near awesome paintjob - esp. not with them buckles on the jeans, etc. One of them may have been hot, but a scratch on the body work doesn't bare thinking about!

PURE CLASS! Would you not spray your wheels that color?

I gave it ten, cause it's a prelude and i love hondas!

LOL @ the roundabout prank!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Nice wheelie!

Nice one! Looks a bit like my car!!! But an awful lot tastier! You forgot pictures of the interior!

Use a very very pale cream instead? There is bound to be some way of printing white. What if you have black paper? I'm not entirely sure, which is why I urge someone to give it a go and report back to us...

Oh, the starlet SUV bumper! Nice one. If the raised bits in the middle of that bumper were smoothed of it would look sweet. I thought you's had some crazy idea to mod a big, mad, deep proper SUV bumper and put it on.

Why not print them on acetates/overhead film? That why you can specify what lights up. And if you design them really really well, you could even determine how much light gets through by using a diffusing parts of it. E.g. If you replace the dial bulbs with blue ones, then use a diffused white for the background colour then the dials might light up like a timex watch. I emphasise might, because I'm only imagining what it might look like. If anyone does try this let me know, cause I'm thinking of doing it in my car, eventually.

SUV bumper? What one?

Excuse me if this is a retarded question... Does FMIC stand for Front Mounted InterCooler? And if so, won't spraying it affect the heat dissipation?

They react in such hilarious ways!

Shocking is right man! Absolutely sickening! I bet Phil uses MILLIONS of exclamation marks when he reads this!
