Styling Picture Request...

[James89]

Im well into my Euro cars so ill most likely go down that route with modding mine.

Just wondering if anyone has any pics of any euro style Stilos?

Thanks

 

[coyle]

I have at home im sure.
i'll get one up later

best way to euro style it is remove bumpstrips from doors and quaters. smooth rear bumper, smooth fron bumber. debadge front grill. smooth boot. very very low (coilovers) then some very nice wheels. but stilo has big arches. so will be hard chosing wheels. as most euro style wheels are deep dish such as borbets etc.

 

[James89]

Could easily compensate the big arches with really wide wheels on the back, ive found a nice set of 17" x 10.5"

The only debagded grille i can find is the mesh style one you have, is that the only grille people do for Stilos?

Theres the mattig/merkur/whoever else makes the same which looks like the standard grille just without the badge

 

[coyle]

or theres the lester grille.
the mattig style may suit the euro look a little better than the mesh style which i have.
what are these wheels youve found? euro looking 17" rims?

 

[James89]

i know these are 18s but still, im going for 17s or 18s...

fookin mint wheels though!!

the top ones would be nice in black with a chrome rim.
you could get some nice porsche or ferrari replicas.
i saw an r32 with porsche brakes n wheels. looked amazing

 

[James89]

yea id actually thought about spraying the centre's black, wether it be gloss or matte black.

I think ill leave the bump strips black to contrast though, as well as when i get the windows tinted abit at the back.

i cant believe you're 18 and doing all this!

its one of three, either you've won the lottery, done a Securicor van, or your parents are spoiling you rotten

Haha or i just DIY and work 2 jobs

 

[coyle]

something along these lines?

 

[jostheboss]

Lines? theres no pretty lines there! its all smooth!!!

 

[coyle]

IMO thats horrible, they've taken all the character out of it

yeah i agree. stilo looks better standard

 

[James89]

Im not sure, its not what id really call euro tbh. Still looks nice apart from the front bumper.

I might try and cross euro look and track car

 

[Rackham115]

imo that doesn't look very nice but each to their own. i have to disagree that the stilo looks better standard. there are ways in which it can be subtly modified just to give it an edge. thi is what i have done (see below).

everyone is completely entitled to their own opinions i haven't got a problem with that at all.

 

[Steely]

i dunno if mines classed as euro.. olny euro part is possibly the wheels down to the polished lips....and the fact its dropped, you cant really euro stilos very well, best left to the dub scene really

 

[coyle]

i think the red one is quite cool.
i also don't think stilo's are better standard.
get them nice n low. and a few other bits n bobs

 

[Steely]

coyles is the best option TBH.. still looks OEM, but different to anything else... wheels suit it too... polished lips will start to look dated soon i think
