All Comments Welcome

BTW not sure if i uploaded them right iv done it throughthe gallery like im meant to.

Brin

Took me moment to realise the reflection in yer bumper was your feet and not a crack lol

Some great progress there I like it mate
handles and mirrors are a nice touch too

Cheers mate, handles and mirrors colour matched perfect but window trim came out dull might try to redo it.

Glad i did everything myself tho makes it worth doing rather than just paying a garage, plus it passes my time lol

You'll see me cruising through LEEDS now lol

Please, please get rid of those Lexus lights and just tint your standard ones as well, I had the same naivety thinking the black Lexus lights would look good but they just don't, so took mine straight off and tinted the normals.

Also, slam that bitch.

looks really good, loveing the colour coded door handles and wing mirriors (still need to do mine)

how did you wire in the neons and how are you planning on wireing the boot neon?

Yeh, iv got 50mm drop springs going to fit them next week hopefully.

I like the Lexus lights the only thing i dnt like about them are the plastic bits that stick out a bit im going to tint my lexus lights and see if they are any better.

Cheers mate,

I wired footwell neons to the wires behind the centre console that go to the cig lighter. (Black & Red wires) And i put a switch on the red positive wire so i can switch them on and off no wires and visible because they are all behind centre console.

I then joined another positive wire from the switch on the footwell neons and fed it through the passenger footwell into the bonnet. I now use this live positive feed in the bonnet to connect my grill neons and under car neons to the same one switch. (So footwells, grill and undercar neons all come on when i flick one switch).

The boot neons i will wire them to the courtsey light inside the boot. There should be postive & negative goin to that light just join the wires and your neons will come on when the boot opens and turn off when the boot closes.

cheers mate thats exactly what i wanted to know

shame its to cold and snowy to do anything right now lol

Nice lol edited.

Nvermind, I like it.

Loooking good i was thinking about painting the cam cover too, did you take it off or just mask it ? just a couple of suggestions; getting the alloys gloss black?, paint grill red? .

Cheers mate,

I just masked around the cover its proberly best to take it off so you can paint all over i had to leave the bit where i think the injector rail thing is at the back but its not really noticeable unless you bend right over the engine bay and look towatds the back.

I tryed these alloys in black on my car when i bought them but it just didnt look all that good to me might be because it was black on black. (black car, black tyres, black alloys blended in tooooo much want it too stand out a bit) BTW the colour on the images are a bit different in real life pics taken on **** camera phone. Alloys look really white ish silver on pics but really they are a bit darker silver looks really nice and mesh is the same darker silver.

I might paint the inside of the alloys gloss black, the inside of the spokes i think that will look really great.

Dont want red mesh the mesh matches into the alloys mate.

Credit to you for doing it yourself mate.

I like the wheels, colour coded trim, smoked indicators and I think I like the red front callipers and red rocker cover.

I dislike the silver mesh, red neons (sorry, never liked neons), the lexus rear lights and the painted rear drums (drums should only ever be painted black in my opinion).

The K&N filter is not a good way to go, it will make enough noise to get young girls wet but due to the nature of an open filter and it's location directly on top of a hot engine it's going to do nothing more than suck in hot air and sap power.

You're better off getting an enclosed filter with a pipe to relocate it away from the cam cover.

Should look much better when lowered.

What else is planned for the future?

nice looking car mate, but i agree about the air filter, maybe go GSR, although they are not known for their customer service...

also, i have that head unit in my seicento

great looking car though man.
