Hi, guys & girls, and kirk

Took a few last night, nothing special, most came out rather poo!

Im hoping the rear will be done for PVS, fingers crossed.

To come...

Smoothed steiny rear (not bumper inserts)
Custom ipod install (work in progress)

Also having it machine polished on the 4th before PVS

EDIT: Forgot to say im also getting the wheels re done, powder coated gloss black again but with a little twist! will keep you updated

Comments welcome

Thanks for :look:

I do want a wheel colour change yeah lol, black with blue mica or pearl but still want them deep gloss black

love the small plate as well, I also like your other number plate (slightly smaller also)

the black grills look mint but to high maintance for me polishing wise

Thanks man

cool, yeah front plates 3/4 and rear has 50mm off each side (not been pulled yet either)

tbh the grills were more annoying before having to black to black all the time, not polished them once since they have been done, and when i do at least i can be messy about it, no white marks as everything is now sprayed, so i can polish the hole car rather than missing bits to black to black later.

I might do the rear plate again on mine, but I got pulled before about them, as i had just the letters and no bits either side, according to dvla measurements they were legal but the police took them off the car and gave me a fine!

The rear plates legal as the height hasn't changed and theres still 10-mm either side of the lettering, thats legal according to DVLA

this is one beautiful car!!!
Thanks

absolutely awesome! :thumbs:

but lose the front plate unless you're planning on smoothing the plate recess, it looks wrong as it is at the mo soz bud :/

Cheers, might be getting it smoothed, i think it looks just as wrong with a bigger plate on

those exhausts are the business, I would love something similar
were they a custom fabrication?
Yeah got them from Exhaust UK, full duplex system

gorgeous matey. but the back needs to go lower

it's the tree stump mate definitely lol.
as ive said before one of the best C's on here without a doubt

lol, Thanks mate much appreciated.

Lovely mate! Although a few things ruin it for me, the front splitter ruins the shape of the front bumper and not keen on the exhausts.

Otherwise looks fantastic!

Great location mate, stunin car too, smoothed steiny rear...sounds good :yummy:

drpopper

22-05-2008, 01:16

very sexy altho im sure that rear could go a lil lower lol have a look at hacksters lol amazing stuff must say tho

45_CB

22-05-2008, 09:22

The rear plates legal as the height hasn't changed and theres still 10-mm either side of the lettering, thats legal according to DVLA

Thats what i said to the police! even phoned the DVLA and got someone to tell me and send out the DVLA paperwork document of measurements that are legal (can send this to you if u want)

but they came back to me saying that speed cameras wouldnt pick them up or some bollocks!

I think because I only have 4 numbers/letters the plate just looked to small, even tho the font, spacing, lettering, borders etc were the same, just didnt have the blank bits either side

rant over lol

Thanks, The splitter makes the front better imo, the lines and shape of the splitter match the lines and shape on the bumper strips

arr m8 your car is sik nicce man i want mine to look like tht did you get the zaust made up?
Cheers Man, Exhaust UK is where i got them

Smashing car!!

Thats Lovely! I want black Sri's!

Thanks lads

Thanks mate, hopefully its as sexy as your rear end :yummy:

very sexy altho im sure that rear could go a lil lower lol have a look at hacksters lol amazing stuff must say tho

thanks, i know, dont really want to take the adjuster out tho, might get custom spring in the future

Its still a joke when you have something legal, and they still fine you because they say the camera will not pick it up, most cameras are digital now, they could zoom in on the pic and see you plate, Number plate law FTL

22-05-2008, 10:51

Thanks, lol the windows are tinted

:lol: i was just testing you...:woops: haha they lightly smoked or something? just can't notice them in the pictures.

45_CB

22-05-2008, 10:59

its all lies really, as motorbikes have tiny plates sometimes and dont get stopped

I personally think they have them pinned up on the notice board of my local police station as alot of police didnt like me when I passed my test :|

45_CB

22-05-2008, 12:20

I might get another one done for the back but only a little bit smaller, I just dont see the point in having massive gaps from the letters to the side of the plate with nothing there

pah oh well, your car is mint and last night I had to go and get some pics of mine as I was jelous lol

Got a few questions if you don't mind :D

Did you get the tints and alloys done anywhere in Nottingham? If you did, where? :)

You say you're getting the alloys powder coated, what are you doing about getting the centre caps done as i was told these can't be powder coated, only sprayed?

Also, how much is it lowered by in the pictures? :)

Thanks

Is it Total Wheel Works on little tennis street? That's where i had my Sports stars sprayed. Went down there today to ask about getting my SRI's powdercoated, they said they can't powdercoat the centres because they're plastic and will melt when they bake the alloys or something? :shrug:

Cheers mate :)
