[jamieross]

Loving the plans mate

[jamieross]

thanks mate

Looks nice mate, plans sound good. I think the wheels would look better in silver than black though.

Also, VTRs never came with leather, ever. So yours must be a custom retrim

[jeffchiz]

your choice of wheels seam a bit vague for example schmidt th lines would cost in the region of a grand second hand in good condition and lenso bsx's are cheap copies of bbs wheels which cost a couple hundred second hand, ive just bought some borbets which im not getting much change from £600 second hand, i think you need to have a think how much you can afford first, but the plans sound good as long as you see them through its not cheap going euro believe me! lol

[jamieross]

I think whatever wheels I get will be silver, or possibly a light gold. I know about wheel prices my options are over a large spectrum but those are the ones I like, so I'd like to keep all options open

I know it won't be cheap but what is these days.

Anyway thanks for the comments

tbh i quite like lenso bsx's but a lot of people will slate them firstly because them are replicas, secondly they look like split rims but aren't, also i think they discolor pretty quick and there isn't much a dish on them at all, you should have a look at this website always get some bargains on there

Cheers mate. For the price of lenso's they are good. I'd prefer a more 'up-market' wheels but I can get them as a back up.

Cheers for the link. I've seen the name plastered everywhere just never been on the site

[jamieross]

heres some rough chops i got done for giving me the idea of a few of the wheels

[jamieross]

Last night i was a little bored and did a quick photoshop again, ive got a think for pink/purple wheels atm.


im not very good at photoshop but im following the guides slowly

anyway today i needed something productive to do so i spray parts of my dash green

[jamieross]

should i spray the clock surrounds and speaker vents aswell or is that too much?

i want either mk2 dials or just white dial backgrounds...

[jeffchiz]

im not a fan of the green seats and dash plastics, id rather have just silver ones if you had to paint them, heres a pic of my car with Borbets just so you can decide weather you like them or not
my car (excuse the front bumper looks a mess)

jodies saxo

dans saxo (my wheels but before i bought them and painted them)


lol do you see a trend with borbet a's and smoothed front bumpers lol

[jamieross]

that was a random bump in my thread lol

ive looked at all those cars before, im just unsure on the borbets lol

[jeffchiz]

well you said your unsure on borbets so i was just posting some pics up in case you hadn't seen them lol only trying to help you make your mind up about them

[jamieross]

yeah man i appreciate the help, hows the spraying of your borbets coming along btw?

EDIT:1000 posts baby....

[jeffchiz]

lol whoooo 1000 posts! I loved it when i got to a thousand posts i was expecting something unexpected to happen like glitter to fall from the roof or something haha lol i was trying to get to 3000 by the time i go sleep haha the last day ive had an extra 150 posts lol ive been very boreddd haha

i sprayed one of them as a test run, then did another two properly, but i havent got round to doing the last one so ive got three red and one blue lol but tomorrow i think i'll do the forth one and also im gonna re-do the first one i did as i didnt use primer so its darker than the rest lol also gonna have a good look at my car tomorrow its making some weird noises so i think im gonna get up earlyish get the car up on stands and crack on with finding the problem and do the other two alloys so should be a productive day lol

[jamieross]

youll have to let me know when theyre finished, i like the red lip on them....

[jamieross]

well i sold my vts wheels in a bid to boost saving for some new wheels....


looks shady as fook....

liked the banaded steels the most from the selection above, guesing you saw the ones in the for sale section. think they would look great in the right colour
