[MrHouston]

[Ben]

[Mark51]

looking good mate, the shade of blue would not have been my choice but its your car.

have you thought about some spacers to get those rims out of the arches abit?

[Yates]

smoked lights or somethin needed, those standard ones make the rear of the car just look shit

[Steve]

as above.

Looks alright tbh :y:

[martin_88]

Nice one mate, glad to see you finaly getting some progress done,

[Azrael]

Looks good mate, i quite like the arden blue colour...

As said above you need to sort your rear lights mate, i would colour code tbh but i know alot of people have issues with that. Smokey headlights would work aswell imo.

Keep up the gd wrk buddy.

Rob

[Andy_89_VTR]

looking good mate, the shade of blue would not have been my choice but its your car.

have you thought about some spacers to get those rims out of the arches abit?

Needed a darker shade of blue than that

[CHIP]

Get smoked lights n lower it mate. Will look mint then!

[saxosport]

agree smoked lights lower it and maybe spacers or wider wheels??

[STunique]

[MrHouston]

[Anthony]

[Ocego_VTR]

Set of lowering springs on the way soon! Will explain plans in a new topic

Love it, hope I see it around the Wirral sometime.

Get yo' ass to some meets and the rock then i'm there most nights :y:

[Pieface]

Usually too busy when they're on, so I can't.

[stu-n-shell]

looks good mate wasnt sure on the colour combo but the more i se the more im liking it

[PSPDan]

In two minds whether I like it or not. I look at some pics and think "omg it's lush". Then look at others and think that it looks like you've put a VT* kit on and are waiting for it to be resprayed...

To be fair it's a lot better than my car so who am I to judge. Fair play mate, can't wait to see it finished.

[MrHouston]

Yeah once everythings finished, spoilers back on and the masking tape's gone should look alright lol

[PSPDan]

Yeah once everythings finished, spoilers back on and the masking tape's gone should look alright lol

Hurry up and get it done. I don't post much on here but I've been looking at your threads for ages :P

[stu-n-shell]

seems to be coming on tho it took me a day and a half to do mine.started at 5 on the fri finished at 12 that night then started again at 8 on the sat and was finished by 5. but i did it all myself.

[MrHouston]

Lol it's drained every penny out of me I litrally have a few pound to my name now until sunday!

Need to go to citroen and buy more clips tomorrow as well as more bonding!

[stu-n-shell]

yeah i was lucky i raided mine and my journymans spare drawers and found enuth to do my kit

[MrHouston]

Need to find some more bonding tomorrow, equivilent to tiger seal strength...going to be hard to get hold of some

[Harv]

This honestly looks lush in real life. Pictures don't do it anywhere near justice. Just the skirts to do now and its all done ;). The blue and the black go so well, but I do agree we need to find some nice lights lol. Its £££'s well spent imo, will look spot on when its lowered.

[vtrjay]

lookin gud mate! :)

[saxokid100]

[QUOTE=MrHouston;2602033]

Looks mint!! real head turner....:y::y:

[MrHouston]

[benkelsall]

[MrHouston]

Yeah thought that was you, tape has to stay there until side skirts go on.


Engine had died on me today don't have a clue what's wrong with it, will try it again tomorrow.

Also the back box is off, tried a standard vtr backbox but still no good.
Welding a Magnex on it tomorrow.

Skirts are least of my worries atm!

[MrHouston]

If we get time after doing the exhaust the skirts can go on today with the spoiler

[Proffitt]

I have something that you may want ;)

Sitting in my garage all alone on the top shelf i have a set of ultra smoked jewels that are prety much brand spank...i had them on my car for about 12 hours :D

They are yours if you want??

[MrHouston]

Yes plase, well. Have no money for a while now lol so will let you know

[Proffitt]

Right o mate. I can keep them for you if you want, they been in my garage for ages and a little longer wont hurt :P

[MrHouston]

Spoiler and skirts are now on

New topic for the official two tone 1.0 once I take some pics!

No pics tonight as cars covered in tape again :homme:

[Marcos]

looks good not so keen on colours stands out to much i think also you might have to grind arches higher as i did mine about that height and as i was lowerd alloys kept hitting it causing big slice marks on tyres lol

[MrHouston]

Car got brought home on a recovery truck tonight.

Cba explaining now will update in the mornin :n:

[Ben]

Dude you ok? Not crashed have you?

[stu-n-shell]

what happened to it

[betty02]

ohhhh sounds interesting!

[MrHouston]

Had the wheels off to fit the skirts earlier in the day, got to about 11pm and i went to see if all the bonding was set and everything was secure, it was

So took all the maskin tape off

Decided to meet a few people down the local car park =\

So off I went all made up about how my new car looks! Got round the corner and I heard like somehtign metal fall off, so I stopped and looked right the way round the car and underneath, couldn't see anything so carried on

Got to a mini roundabout 2 mins down the road and my steering went funny so stopp ed the car on the roundabout, hazrads on and looked round the car and under it again, still couldn't see nothing.

30 seconds later of driving the whole car shaked and the left hand side dropped down and I lost all steering with lots of loud noises!

Got out, my front wheel is hanging off! All my wheel bolts had fell out along the way, so so lucky the wheel didn't fall off, it was litrally hanging on where the spacers go, one false move and that was bye bye front end of the car

So got recovery out, found 2 bolts on the road near me so put them on and put it on the back of the truck.

Shit, nasty. At least it's ok. Could've been worse!

[MrHouston]

Was so lucky.

Just tryin to source some wheel bolts today then it's jacking up time to see if anything is damaged

[Sneakydevil89]

shit me, your lucky mate. i always check my wheel bolts if i go on long journeys as i dont want my wheels coming off!

could have been a lot worse! cant wait to see the finished pics.

[MrHouston]

Worst thing is I checked the back 2 wheels but not the front

My fault.. :n:

[vtrjay]

Unlucky mate ur not having the best luck with this!!!! Hope better luck comes your way!! :)

[Harv]

School boy error ;). I always check mine twice when I put my wheels back on just incase. Lucky that mate, as you say, front end of the car would be pretty wrecked really, especially the bumper.

Check that the wheel isn't buckled to mate as it could have done damage if it was just 'hanging' off. I'd also check the hub, strut and shaft too just incase.

[MrHouston]

Everything seems okay and smooth

Just took it on a little test run!

[J-Reid]

i want that kit !! full colour code lol. good job !

[rozaladdd]

unlucky mate must say i have done that before rushing to do other things and forgot to tighten them up and hear lound nocking luckly for me i went to my uncle and told him and he said what have you done so i sed the alloys then he told me what it was, but its a pitty you didnt live close to me i have about 5 spare bolts you could of had

[Steady_Eddy]

Looks lush mate :D

fair shout
