Blue Icarian Wings Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 What badge is that on the bonnet? good work in the bay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 the models a sportif mate, the badge on the front is a bushido japanese badge. available from a shop on ebay. think its called italian things or something like that. i thought it looks cool but it doesnt complety cover the holes on the front which is a bit bob.thanks for the warning on the suspension mate, i'll look into that.cheers keiran.

Is it easy to do?, and does it leave a killer sticker mark thats needs to be re-sprayed over?Cheers Mart...very easy mate. i just used a hair dryer and then any left over glue i just buffed off with scratch remover and electric buffer. ive heard petrol is good for glue removal (would'nt try untill confermed). mine was sound with no color difference behind it and all glue came off. worth a try mate.cheers mate, keiran Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 What did you use to raise the bonnet washers is it? If so how many or what size? Looking good mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 What did you use to raise the bonnet washers is it? If so how many or what size? Looking good matewashers it was mate. i used about 4 and all together its about 1.5 cm. needed longer bolts but if you get some which are 1.5 cm longer its sound. you only have to do it to the top bolt on each bracket aswell. if you do it let me know if you can feel a difference, cuz if not i must be imagining it!

keirz Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 bummer. at least with the money you save on petrol can be spent elsewhere. i fancy a full respray in matt grey and a few minor stone dints took out down the side. they didn't bother me at first but now they wind me up. will look sweet when you get it back on the streets then. keirz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Wheels look good mate get a decent side on shot of the car Its mad how the lip look light green Not sure on that carbon airbox prefered the old setup to be honest good work none th less Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 cheers mate. the lip is lime green, crazy i know but when you see it they look good and ive never seen it done before.will get some good pics soon, cuz i aint done any arty ones yet.as for the airfilter ive been reading alot about it and this seems to tick all the boxes. its heat shelded, small filter and has a large direct cold air feed. to be honest it sounds awsome and there seems to be beter response lower down the revs.keirz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
