Jules-B Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well I thought it was time i introduced myself properly on here, have been on here a while mainly buying bits..but have been on tgtt for a long time!..Anyway I thought i should share some pictures of my new ride!As many of you know i had a glanza for pretty much the previous year and she was a beaut!But after many plans of changing the bodywork i saw this glanza that Mark (www.Glanza.co.uk) was selling and decided i just had to have it,so arranged a part-x with him.Some of the Spec;Full Livesports Kit,16" Volk TE37 Alloys, Apexi SpringsBlitz Air FilterHad a Kakimoto exhaust, soon to have a Blitz/Apexi/Custom Zorst!Sparco Bucket SeatFactory Optional Duck/Mid spoilerRays Wheels NutsRays Tyre Valve Covers!As the new starlet wasnt registered this meant me and my older brother going down to devon (from hertfordshire) in a car transporter that didnt like hills! We set off at 4 in the morning and about 4 hours later we picked the car up and started work on changing the exhuast system (as i wanted to keep my one)Then it was time for the long haul back!.After many a coffee/Mcdonalds breaks we stopped at a petrol station and i decided i had to get some pics of my new car! We ended up Getting home at about 6 in the evening completly shattered. She then was put in the garage to commence various mods (As im not putting her on the road until June)But first decided before i took all the bumpers and spoiler off for spraying that i would get some More pics!.Sorry for the quality of these by the wayAt Current state she sits in the garage with no bumpers or spoiler, And some of the engine out for various reasons.Plans for the time shes on the road are as followingGet kit SprayedRemove Raybrig FogsSpray rocker coverGet exhuast finishedFmicHks ActuatorBucket SeatsStripped InteriorRear Strut braceAnti lift PlatesPanhard rodRear ARBI was planning on getting a different turbo kit straight away, but i seem to have spent all my money!O and a question for you lotMid spoiler or no Mid spoiler??ORTHanks for lookingI have more pics as im further through the project but havent uploaded them yetComments WelcomeJules Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Just a personal preference thing but if it was me I'd get rid of those rediculous (in my opinion) spoilers, and get a standard Glanza one.Other than that it looks amazing, no other word for it, love the colour and love the wheels.

Galliano Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 i do like that alot... but theres an exhaust missing and also.. your skirts and lips look a bit of an orangey white to the rest of the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
badboy_lesta Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 That car's Amazing! i personally ONLY in this case preffer the middle spoiler being there because the top spoilers so large it give the car a boxed of look. If you get what i mean just like the glanza spoiler does on an N/A. But because your top spoiler is so big and sticks out so much it doesn't look as cool without the middle one. Thats my personal preference though mate, good luck with ya modding Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 She is sweet mate or will be once she is all sprayed up I say keep the mid spoiler, looks awsome with the HRF spoiler, Phil is sooo jealous right now ;)Glad you removed all those fog lights!! I would remove those repeaters on the rear bumper aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie B Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 well done on the purchase buddy, it has the same kit as i had on my old V.S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jules-B Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Looks lovely mate!seem to be twins!. Thanks for all the comments, Some people think the rear spoiler is too big, but it doesnt look as big in real life and it fits in well with the rest of the kit.Sparky- Those repeaters on the back bumper dont even do anything!, no wires coming out atall. They were just tigersealed on. Safe to say that there gone now aswell!.Also having the rear bootlid debadged/delocked/dewipered and the glanza badges taken off.Thanks for the comments!
