Engine bay, interior.Besides, white looks great, do it panda! Ahaha Yeah I know about the engine bay, but if I keep some white details on the car, ant get some white decals, it would look just fine.Also thinking about to vinyl one wheel with stickerbomb vinyl, just to make more fun and to disturb people ;) But thats a later question. Need to buy new front brakes first Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrSweden Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 So, like this is my vision of the car right now. But painted bumpers too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP70-PT Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Nice one XD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Did some wheel testing yeasterday, only on the right side of the car, just to see if i needed some spacers or not, but they fits good. The car stands in a uneven ground and my winter tires are still on, on the left side, soo the car looks even higher at this point. But we have decided that we want to try to rebuild some Volkswagen polo 6N coilovers to fit most cuz I want to lower the car more than the lowerings springs lower the car. Measured I need lower the car about 8cm to make it look good with the wheels.. (Hope you understand what writed with my bad english) Pictures below i have seen more rubber on elastic bands than them tyres, look wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 So, like this is my vision of the car right now. But painted bumpers too I like the spots but not the alloys, you have got the rally look going on there but them alloys let it down mate, with them alloys on you have got a euro look and rally car.

Alot are missing, but what to do..http://www.garaget.org/StaticFreak/cars#oldWell, I have good taste what I think, and this is what Im going for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
