Twist's Ice Grey Furio (LavaGrey VTS Alloys)
 
ok so as you can see from the photo below the 1st furio came to a rather abrupt finish.




Therefor i am starting this new thread for the new car. A 51 plate, Icelandic Grey Furio with 75K on the clock that i picked up for £1300. I'll upload pics this weekend after i've given her a good clean as it rainded before i had chance last weekend. Progress will probably be slow and steady with this one as i'm going to be saving a lot of money for next years insurance when it goes through the roof!

twist 1st November 2010 23:15

i can't seem to get the picture to work atm. will do my best to sort it out tomorrow

twist 23rd January 2011 23:28

ok sooo very long over due i got some pictures of the car. since i bought it i've painted the roof gloss black, along with the mirrors and added colour coded caps. i also got my self a free set of team dynamics pro race alloys and a vts interior from a write off at work. hope you all like the pics. :)






twist 23rd January 2011 23:30

i no its got quite a few dents here and there but i'll repair them over time. its also got to go into the garage some time this week due to the fact that after i washed it and took the photo's it wouldnt start again, after consulting the AA man that came out its either a break in the loom or a fault on the ECU

Eskimo 23rd January 2011 23:34

Love it, getting my bumpstrips, mirrors done gloss black too soon.

timmythechef 23rd January 2011 23:45

cheers mate, plans are to gloss black the bump strips round the car, wide mouth bumper with black mesh and black mesh the bonnet grill. can't decide weather to colour code the grill or do that in gloss as well

tomsmarty 26th January 2011 14:01

thanks mate, yea those alloys came free as i said in the thread, thinking about filling in the words with white paint so they stand out more, we'll see how things go :)

twist 26th January 2011 17:47

the car finaly went off to the garage today to get fixed, they think its the relay under the ecu as it was hanging by the wires and was all corroded inside due to a small hole, new relay doesnt turn up until friday though. missing being able to drive rather a lot :(

twist 27th January 2011 23:16

theres a possibility that i'll get my car back today!!! who's excited for me?!?!?!?!?

Liam-westcoast 27th January 2011 23:19

cheers mate, im in love with the bonnet your rocking on yours haha

twist 28th January 2011 23:08

the cars back!!! plans can continue. i've decided for now that seeing as i can't afford black angle headlights that im going to black my standard ones. i've got to change the near side one anyway due to it having a hole in from a stone hitting it. i'll try on that one 1st because i dont know how well i'll get on heating it up to take the lense off. i dont want to butcher or melt it

twist 30th January 2011 23:06

tinted my windows today as i had some free time, didnt go too bad. a few scratches but nothing else :) will upload some pics next time i get chance

twist 30th January 2011 23:33

twist 1st February 2011 23:07

doing the inserts gloss black anyway mate when i do the bumpers etc, would like black rear lights if i can find some cheaper than on ebay, and i dont think i can afford H.I.D's or lowering at the moment

Colour code the outside of the grill and do the slats gloss black, seen someone who had that and it looked really good.
