bdohohh Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks everyone! I know I always said I'm gonna keep my tte spoiler but not too keen on how it looks with a duck spoiler and glanza bumper. Just think it's too small or something. My boyfriend is going to killllll me hahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Not sure if I approve or not.....I will have to ogle it in person to decide...my concern comes from the same reason I never got around to a Livesports spoiler on mine....alot going on at the rear styling wise, with the soft N/A front end. A brave choice though B, fair play to you as always! looking forward to seeing an update with it attached! Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A brave choice though B, fair play to you as always! looking forward to seeing an update with it attached! Phil. this is my only concern as well, but I'm fairly sure that because my front end has the livesports wings and lip and looks a little extra aggressive it should hopefully work. This is also why I went for the varis spoiler, not the JAM one cause I reckon the varis one is a little less obnoxious. but to be honest, I won't know until I see it in person either! my thinking was just that with the duck spoiler, the tte spoiler looks way too small and makes the duck spoiler look v out of place. Heres hoping it works, worst case I'll have a spare varis spoiler for a future glanza rep/real glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rich-k Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 If i was going for an aftermarket spoiler thats what i would choose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 If i was going for an aftermarket spoiler thats what i would choose I agree! Obviously since it's the one I did choose! I'm not a big fan of any other aftermarket spoilers really. Other than toms, obviously.. haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Picked up a new tailgate tonight! Has one smallish mark on it, but that'll be covered by the duck spoiler once its on. BUT until my spoilers are painted and on, I'm gonna have a marked tailgate with no spoiler, which is gonna look weird. It's either that or keep my rusted one until the spoilers are ready. With show season coming up I can't decided which would be better? Gonna try and get my spoilers painted as soon as they arrive so I can stick them on. Only thing left to buy body wise is new doors!

Nanglebadger Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Give Monty a shout, he might be able to paint them up quickly for you, and seeing as he had a white V, he likely has some paint already. I've used him before, very good and very quick, and very reasonable to pay. Just an option. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If you lived closer id do them for you!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Cheers Phil I'll maybe look into that! Joel has a few people but we're not sure how quickly they can do it so that's an option. I know rich, I wish I lived on the mainland, would make life a lot easier car wise :'( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Tomorrow is a doing things day. Gonna upgrade the breaks a little to some nice purple braided lines ;) and change the pads since my break pedal is basically on the floor most times I use it. Finally fitting the steering wheel and also some blue dash/speedo lights cause I never liked the green. Might give it a wash maybe and get some photos. Also planning on removing a few of the bonnet spacers cause they're scratching the paint on my front bumper so gonna make it 10mm raised instead of 15, which pains me since I love the way it looks but what can ya do :'( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Ok so that's strut brace and tow bar painted, new brake pads, fixed a sticky caliper and now just need to change the steering wheel and dash lights. Progress feels good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hard to get a good photo in the sun but the new lights are in! Also did some spur of the moment painting... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bdohohh Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 thank you all! im painting the surrounding bit the same colour, and maybe the centre console too. Went a bit nuts with paint but ran out of plastic primer today so couldn't do anymore.Brakes are fixed which is nice, didn't realize how shit mine were :L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 I hate tailgaters.Spent a good 10 minutes trying to teach one a lesson. Anyone who's been in my car can vouch that if I'm driving below the limit or even at the limit, and someone comes up behind me, I'll slow a little and move in and even wave them past if theres a gap cause I hate people sitting close behind me. If people sit a little too close I'll slow down to annoy them and try and get them to back off. But never have I seen a car get so close behind me that I couldn't see their headlights in my mirror. Said car came out of a junction behind me, overtaking the car infront of it coming around the corner of the junction, and sat within 1/2 a metre of my bumper, so I slowed down to 45/50 in a national, then to 40, trying to get my point across... Then he started swerving, not like to get past me, just in and out, in anger? i dont fucking know it was weird. So for the first time ever I brake checked, not that badly just put the brakes on hard enough to get a point across, he didn't change his position. Eventually he turned off, after trying to overtake in a right filter lane and the car in that lane slowing so he couldn't get past me. Then I just went back to 60 and went on my way, after giving him a nice gesture out the window. Sorry for the rant, but this really grinds my gears. If people are courteous to me, I will let them and even help them overtake. If he'd been tired I probably would have lost my back bumper. Luckily for me, I have a spare. Unluckily for him, it would have been his fault. WHY DO PEOPLE DO IT? HE ENDED UP AT HIS DESTINATION AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AS HE WOULD HAVE IF HE'D KEPT A SAFE DISTANCE. end of rant. lol. sorry.

chris84 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I cant stand tailgaters i do exactley the same when some sits that close to my bumper just to annoy them but i will also go back to the speed limit if they go to overtake just to make a point Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If people are behind me but keep a decent distance but obviously want to go faster, especially if I'm below the limit, I'll pull in a little and wave them past if it's safe. I've no problem people over taking me as long as they're not dicks about it. I don't get why people risk it, even if I braked on purpose it's still his fault cause there's no proof a cat didn't run out in front of me ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But like u say i dont mind someone coming past me as long as they arent an arse about it just pointless driving like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
