Only thing letting it down are the lights, they look worse than normal lexus lights.

Tidy car though!

Personally i wouldent go 60mm, id say 50 for looks and ride comfort.

[c9myy]

[luke1988]

nice car mate! would say lose the lights and the petrol cap...and 60mm mite be too low will be pretty uncomfy! just my opinions though lol!

[Elliott]

Looks alright.
Need to loose the lexarse lights and the fuel cap mate.
Lower it 40MM it will look sweeeeeeeet

[louis_23]

driving down to great yarmouth wiv a mate to see a few other mates, have a nice fun relaxing day out..
but no! car decides otherwise..
along the A47 my drivers side arch decides it wants 2 come off, luckily i managed to catch it out the window b4 it flew off, wooop!
pulled over, clipped it all bak in prob sorted, so i thought!
carry on down 2 yarmouth, get about 15 miles away, and the arch decides 2 fly off completely, leaving me archless and no hope of going bak and recovering it, leaving it like...

http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00684.jpg
i almost cried!! :(
then gave the legend that is BenJee_VTR a call, who luckily had a driver side arch in silver, it quartz not arctic steel and its colour coded, but it far better than nothing! much appreciated mate:y:
so wen got bak 8 and half hours later, got that on the car...
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00685.jpg

lmao..
already had the window wide open..
and it came off, was still atached thru the indicator, so had a few secs, then grabbed it as it disconnected from it..
which in the end made no diff wat so ever, just meant that i lost it further down the road instead of ther:wall: lol..

yea a while ago i rolled of a curb and as the wheel dropped off the side skirt dropped onto the curb (the prob wiv a car dropped 60mm) and unclipped that and the arch, clipped it all bak in eventually (this being over a month ago) ive made journeys to yarmouth, hunstanton loadsa places since and not had a problem, but guess ther was few clips broke and just come lose over time:(
sum1 up ther just didnt want me 2 hav a great day lol..

[stokesy]

me and BenJee_VTR fitted my new upper strut brace this morning :) and in doing this had to re-locate the fuelcut off switch, whish was done fine, no issues..
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00690.jpg
aftr fitting everyfing all sorted, i went 4 a drive to see wat it was like..
and the brace was rubbing on somefing making an awful noise, so found out the problem, a little plastic hook fing on nr the throttle body,
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00692.jpg
cut that off, sanded down the sharp edges, strut brace went bak on, cleared it easily nw, and no rubbing..
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00693.jpg
when tightening up the bolts to secure the brace, my hand slipped off and smaked the fuel cut off switch and snapped it off the plastic bit which allowed it to be screwed on to somefing..
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00696.jpg
tried super glueing it bak 2geva, didnt work..
s ended up taping it 2 somefing 4 the time being..
i also managed to press the fuel cut off switch, and cut that off..
tried the car.. wudnt start, then realised wat ad happened, came on here looking 4 answers.. went bak out, pressed it again, and it nw works woop woop..
but this is hw the switch nw looks :(

we got the rear de-wipered preti nice and simple 1
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00706.jpg

we sprayed the door speaker covers and vents in silver
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00702.jpg
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00709.jpg

which came out very well imo..
we also had a go at meshing the grille..
which didnt quite go according to plan..
we got the grille sprayed and looked reli good
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00711.jpg

but when tried putting it back onto the car with the mesh behind it, it wudnt sit in the spot anywher near flush to the car :(..
so atm am driving around wiv just the grille in and no backing
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00712.jpg

i also tidied up the fuel cut off switch which i had broke a few weeeks ago, few cable ties and...
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00700.jpg

but whilst doing this, i managed to sumhow mess it up properly, and car wudnt start, got a few more switches from the scrappy, and none of them worked either :n:
so bens dad disconnected the switch, cut the cables and connected em 2geva, so atm i hav no fuel cut off switch
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt241/stokesy_1990/DSC00710.jpg

when we hadnt changed the locks over, that coulda gone worse lol..
yea will look good with a black MK1 spoilr..
just a shame andys copied my idea :P haha..
am contemplating two tone, silver and posi blue..

you are such a copy cat black spoiler was my idea!!!

some very bad luck there tho!!

hopfully the guy will pay up tho!!

andy

i ent a copy cat, u stole my idea, just got it done 1st lol..

ben_saxo has it on his lol that is where i saw it :y:

[stokesy]

after having the replacement boot (mango boot) window smashed whilst at my gf's, by some complete wanker ive never met, luckiily was seen and caught doing it by alot of people, and the people he living with agreeing to pay for the damage, for the time being i have a posi blue boot on the from ben, thanks again, as i needed my car, and didnt no how long they were gonna be messing about for,
i got a quote of £383.47 + VAT for a standard MK2 rear window (with holes for the spoiler)
and of £393.87 + VAT for a rear windscreen wihout the holes, so after paying £20 for the bot of ben, and all the inconvenience, have decided that am saving them lots of money on a new ear window, so am gona tek them ive payed out more than £20, what people think i should ask for??

heres pics of how the car looking atm :(

[stokesy]

i see you got the wiper out in the end pal, the mk 1 spoiler looks nice anyway :P hopefull not long til its sprayed :)

yea 'borrowed' a mini hacksaw from work lol..
sawed the bolt into pieces, until it just fell apart, took me ages lol..
but was worth it..
and yea hopfully gonna trek down adn getit sprayed next week..
am really tempted to have a look at two toning it, silver and posi blue, and some silver vts alloys..

hmmm....:A:

[benJee_VTR]

well if you do mate, i have the whole VT kit bar the bumpers which i can do for you on the cheap :A: that would be pretty good...

[Ashleyp]

stoksey, artic steel is hard to get hold of lol, been looking for a bonnet for a while

bodyshop costs, here i come :( lol

[iDaNz_VTR]

get a fully smoothed boot m8

[Lloydie]

Harsh about the rear windows mate :( Get her sprayed and it'l be mint

[stokesy]

well if you do mate, i have the whole VT kit bar the bumpers which i can do for you on the cheap that would be pretty good...

am really really considering it mate..
just need to price up and have a think..
could swap a few panels over with your posi blue 1s and see how looks..

stoksey, artic steel is hard to get hold of lol, been looking for a bonnet for a while

bodyshop costs, here i come :( lol

u can bloody say that again, everyone just seems to have the quartz, and it may only be sligtly diff, but it stil diff :( lol..

[stokesy]

get a fully smoothed boot m8

nah dont really like ty moothed boot look..
imo debadging is far enough with it..
looks good like that i think :Y:

Harsh about the rear windows mate Get her sprayed and it'l be mint

yea can say that again lol..
in less than a week, ive gone from a silver boot, with which the rear window
smashed, not through my own fault, but due to the spoiler, to then having a mango boot, which was smashed again not through my fault, but some retarded twat! and am now got a multi coloured car :S lol..

[Ashleyp]

yep same here on the quartz mate

i bought a quartz petrol cap, you cant see a difference straight on, but from an angle in the right light, its a shade darker

would obv look a lot worse on a bonnet or boot

[benJee_VTR]

yeah man, when i get back from walcott (monday) will have to swap over some VT kit bits, see what it looks like:)

[stokesy]

yeah man, when i get back from walcott (monday) will have to swap over some VT kit bits, see what it looks like:)

yea sounds like a plan to me..
am defo looking into this..
posi blue spoiler aswel msybe, on the silver boot

[benJee_VTR]

yeah man, that'd be sweet. Posi bits are easier to get aswel incase you have any more incidents :P Photoshop?

[stokesy]

yeah man, that'd be sweet. Posi bits are easier to get aswel incase you have any more incidents :P Photoshop?

yea cn say that again, arctic steel is shit hard 2 get ahold off, and its more than likely that someng will go wrong, u no my luck :n: lol..
yea just posting in the photoshop section nw

[stokesy]
