yep another white furio, been reading all your progress threads and dribbling a little bit lol.


first priority when its at home is to clean it and de chav it.

difficult to get replacement badges tho because dnn signs went bust.

saxokid100 9th May 2009 01:31

Like white saxo"s..........

Liam_ 9th May 2009 01:36

Lol, yeah de-chaving it will make it look alot better - it's the simple things that make a big difference..

Didn't realise they went bust, that kinda sucks.. You could try eBay?

:y:

Llardy 9th May 2009 14:25

ye they either went bust or the bloke who make the badges left. i remember reading it in another thread but i could be wrong

Vtr_Alex 9th May 2009 14:28

Looks good mate. Plans so awesome.

Lodger 9th May 2009 14:31

dont do your interior white, no offence whenever i see sprayesd interiors they always look shite, keep the interior dark always looks more classy

I'd have to agree tbh. Specially white, out of all the colours looks tacky.

Other than that, plans sound good! i like the custom front grill ( modify standard and have smoothed into body) - that's what iwas going to do with mine, quotes were coming back fairly expensive though :(

ye im doin a body repair course at college so ill do it myself and only pay for paint and other materials.

i also want some sort of smooth boot but i dont know whether the whole one is a bit 2 chavvy

Llardy 10th May 2009 22:39

car got here at 10pm and i love it.

heres a quick pic i got. more up 2 morrow



Paint seems a little flat so gonna polish it up. if that fails ill get the whole car re-laqeured

needs a new bonnet too. but im still really happy with it

Whiskerzz 10th May 2009 22:42

car looks good...

id say go with spraying the interior parts white :y: im doing mines ! and it brightens up the interior sooo much its unbelievable !

Whiskerzz 10th May 2009 22:43

AkuskaUK 12th May 2009 02:51

liam-o 15th May 2009 10:29

thinking about it myself, but not sure whether it will look too white, like a big blob

Llardy 15th May 2009 14:49

bit of an update from last week, been fixin a few things that didnt work , like stereo, had a wobbly seat and leaky roof, but all fixed.

these arrived today which have been masked up ready to be tinted:



bought these aswell, 12" 1000w sony explod sub with a 450w juice amp:





im painting the amp tho to hide the fact that its juice.

and i also de-wipered the rear today (stickers are coming off when its warmer)




and then i found something that really made me chuckle in my engine bay:



lol theres 6 of them

Sneakydevil89 15th May 2009 15:21

haha, found them? thats interesting. must make hell of a noise, if there connected. car looks good man. love white cars.

they are connected but where theres 6 of them the previous owner melted the fuse, so i pretty much need to get a fuse that that can hold 6 times as much as the standard. im hoping that its a dixy horn lol

Sneakydevil89 15th May 2009 15:39

didnt he/she tell you about it before he/she sold it to you?
gunna need a pretty heffty fuse i feel.

Llardy 15th May 2009 15:49

na the bloke we got it off bought it at an auction so he didnt know much about it himself,

Sneakydevil89 15th May 2009 15:58

really? thats a bit dodgy buying it then isnt it? could have all sorts of secrets???

looks alright though, so wouldnt worry haha
