let me know what you think guys and help welcome

[carlporter]

and before anyone says anything side skirts and rear bumper still not on right

[mmmatt]

sorry for neg feedback but personally id put the front bumper back on, it looks nearly finished!

[carlporter]

it was that heavy slowed me down lol

[LEE_VTR1]

mine ain't heavy and mines smoothed like that lol

I'm sure I posted in your thread saying that euro is expensive and very time consuming only the dedicated modders will pull through the euro look and the fact of being skint 24/7

fair play though mate for giving it a bash at least you admitted defeat and didn't just love it.

[Mikey]

it all depends how you smooth it. if you smooth just using filler it will be heavy. my matess have done this and they are qualified body lads. best way to do it is to put some plastic or mush behind so your not using as much filler. also smoothing it of is for pro's tbh.

Is the car in primer?

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

Looks good mate. I like it

[_ELECTABUZZ_]

is it still in its primer? it looks awsome lol

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

is it still in its primer? it looks awsome lol

I agree, the prima/sort of euro rat look is nice and origonal

[Bondie]

Keep it in primer lol!!!!!

[sammysaxo1000]

what lambo hinges you getting?

please if your going to do it don't buy a cheap set they ain't worth the hastly or money

for a good set of lambo hinges your looking at £700

i like the smoothed vt bumper alot more mate looks like its almost complete:y:

[stu-n-shell]

needs lowered

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

needs lowered

Lol, but that front bumper is already dangerously low. I like it tbh, rear needs to go down a little.

[_ELECTABUZZ_]

yeah man it looks fucking sweet as it is (even with the primer :P)

[GabbaKid]

I would of left all the standard stuff on that you done, and put it into a body shop to get finished.

[carlporter]

dont think im going to put lambo on now as you said cheap one's not worth it yes its still in primer and still dont have a colour in mine

[Euphoria]

euro = smooth and the use of quality products, nice small effective touches and lots of effort! I will prob buy myself a saxo to work on, just as a project and do exactly that. It Aint easy, but then again to build any show car, its not easy! just sticking on a body kit and a respray isnt enough any more, the money involved to build a GOOD show car is nearer £10k - £15k these days. Good effort to have a go mate, but the idea is not to go cheap on things, so take your time and save for the work to be done properly, with good parts and professional labour, then your onto a winner :)

Have fun modding !
