<cujo's Glanza Conversion>


Recommended Posts

O.....k, well i've bin frenquenting the site for a lil while bin lookin(spying) at every1's awesome rides and after a little exterior modding i finally decided i'd take the plunge and post my N/A up. I wanted a glanza but since i cudn't get one i made this one. So here's a representative for the caribbean (Barbados).

Origianlly got it standard an slowly started glanza-fying it! :(

well tbh i doubt i'll do the number plate surround cuz i'm not THE biggest fan of it. But i do wanna get a rear bumper but its proving to b a lil hard to find a breaker with one! an my local toy dealer will prolly charge me sumthing like $350us for an unpainted one lol! But i do think the next mod will b the exhaust and sports filter give her a nice voice to go with the new look of manly-ness! lol i herd the rolla mani can have a high idle tho...can that b adjusted?

My idle fluctuates quite a bit now I fitted the Rolla mani :D Dont know why though

I'm the same with the numberplate surround, not sure if I want one at the moment

Sheekey on here can get the bumpers I believe for £85 but you would need to ask him if he could send it all the way to you <_<

Lol i think thats a little more money than i'd like to spend on a part i really dont want tbh! right now i'm gettin a hell of a lot of trouble finding a glanza rear bump here in barbados tho...but right now i'm tryin to put 2gether sum cash for a set of black 15'' 5 spoke rims with a chrome band to go with the black bonnet which i've grown so attached to! XD! really annoyed now tho cuz i think my alternator playin the arse! was driving on my way home the other days an suddenly lost power to my radio an my lights dimmed. after i stopped i shut it off an it wudnt start again! initially wrote it off as a dead battery and changed it....but then when i was coming home last night same thing happened again so my mech thinks its a blown main fuse so hes at my house giving the car a once over to find out what the hells goin on! *sigh*
