Curtis Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 hi ya everyone after months of waiting for a good day till i can clean my little v (typical bloody uk weather) and eventually i gave it a good wax today so now i can start my built thread.i got her about 2ish months ago i have big plans for her, i already got my bov and induction kit.the other half should be getting a sr soon so i will be getting the speedlines off her,i have a tub of house of colour mini kamon blue metalflake sitting in the shedso the speedlines will be refurbed with a electric blue lip with the centre having a white and metalflake coating and to finish them off have the logo on the spokes electric blue.maybe thinking of getting a buddyclub spec 2 exhaust but really i could do with some feedback from you guys, i don't want it to drone alot but i dn't mind it loud i have just never hurd one before.anyways heres some pics of the car: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Also needs 50 profile tyres look way too skiny with the 45 profiles and way too much arch gap, will look good when refurbed though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Also needs 50 profile tyres look way too skiny with the 45 profiles and way too much arch gap, will look good when refurbed though gonna see how it sits when i lower it i think. i like the way it drives with the 45'5 on tbh.has anyone got any idea what colour i should do the wheels as i can't decide Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here's some inpiration:Joe_Ep91's car with my old speedline photoshopped onto it(I was planning to rob them off the SR before i sold it but changed my mind as wanted it to stay the way I'd made it as oppose to breaking it up) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
