I was considering a set, however even a 1.6 GT is a very rare sight here and ive only ever seen one HGT on Irl plates As suggested by neddy earlier in the thread, I'll be going for a set of Alfa 146 skirts as theyre a direct fit

The bumper is temporary untill I get a Marea TD100 bumper with fogholes. But its looking good as it is

Heres that daylight pic!


Now I might have gone mad but I'll be having another shot at tinting the rear window limo black. The fronts I'll tint too but I'm aiming to have a spare set of doors. My normal set with the 147 handles with 70% light pass tint and another set of doors with limo tint and exotic handles for show purposes... Just a thought you know

Back to studying for exams, just give me a week and a bit then the fun can commence...

sweet!, thats looks proper sleek, if that was all cleaned up and polished, she would look mint , would you bother colour coding the handles at all ?

I'll wait till the weather gets good again and I'll go to town on it The handles are metal, personally I like the contrast between stainless steel and the dark blue, kinda suits the car but thats just my opinion... If they were Marea handles I wouldn't think twice about colour coding them though

yeah i take my comment back, come to think of it the contrast is quite varied, as the wheels look really good silver against the blue..,clear side repeaters ?

The repeaters are the darker type unlike the straight orange type pre 99, clear repeaters just wouldnt look nice on these cars but once again thats just my opinion!

The only thing I'll be aiming for is a euro rhd tail light so I'll have 2 reverse lights and fit an aftermarket foglight on the new bumper when its fitted, the only one in existance with a narrow recess for the tail light

Theres my Bravo Tail light lamp as promised

Liking those stickers on the tower unit! How much was the lamp?

It is one of those moments of famous last words no time to do anyting? Pffft!!!


One from a TD100, one from a 1.2 and a bit of a 1.2


And that famous backbox


Had to cut pipes to suit, I didn't get pics of them. So we move foreward to test fitting...


Then a mock up Convenient wheel is convenient :spin:


So onto the rubbish bumper...


And test fitting it...


Finally brackets and welding


Done!!! :yum:


And it sounds very different, I can see another video coming soon

Stay tuned, there may be a custom effort on the way...! :chin:

may be wrong, but isnt the hole in the tip supposed to be at the bottom?

I was thinking that but that can be rectified with the drill whats it for anyway?

isnt it a drain hole for water build up?

haha, love the exhaust!, must sound so much different!

The lamp was from my mother, i think its from IKEA, i shall find out

The hole is for if you have a silencer put in, you have a bolt that goes through to hold it in.

Cheers, it actually does! If youre going to do this with your car you can see where I had to cut a bit out of the back of the car for it to fit like this. Also, I had a big backbox on my previous car, didnt make any difference!
Ive often wanted to do that with some car parts lying around, I have a car seat in the front garden for when the weathers nice for example

After I did a bit of research I found out you can get a "tunable" silencer for this exhaust... Wont be needing that!

was about too say why would you need to drain water when hot gasses comes out of the exhuast? i always get alot of water in my exhuast when i clean it i just start the car up with full throttle on and paint my garage doors black

water is in exhaust gases and if you do lots of small trips and the car doesn't get fully upto temperature you get water left in the exhaust which corrodes the exhaust and shortens its life. So it was a reasonable theory but i should expect that bit is made from stainless so water is gonna be ney bother to it at all..

Hence why a lot of cars here have knackered exhausts within 30k miles due to school runs and trips to the local shop. Thankfully for the exhaust I put up at least 60 miles a day
