My Euro inspired Trooper: sale thread now up

[Llardy]

Ok, I dropped the boot off today to get painted along with a lot of other little bits to get powdercoated.

Then after a couple of hours driving I picked myself up these bad boys:



14x6j weller steels gotta love em

Comments welcome

[iw_laurence]

6j is a bit narrow isn't it? Are you getting them banded?

[Llardy]

cheers mate, got big plans for this one

[Llardy]

quick update. spigot rings and polished centre caps came for the wellers. also got a quote from bandedsteels.com so they should be goin in within the next couple of weeks.



and I've been making a lot of progress on my front bumper too



and ive dropped the number plate down and found a new home for it



it's just a rough idea atm. got alot of work to do to get it to the standard I'm happy with

comments welcome

I like the look of where this is going. I always thought it would look cool to shortern the boot recess but i've never seen one like the mental image I had pictured until this! I think it looks really smart mate!

[GazWatson]

This car is looking good nice

[Llardy]

cheers. hopefully getting it back Saturday. along with all my engine bay parts. I'll keep everyone updated

Its looking gorgeous.. White saxos ftw! Like the boot.. I need to think of original ideas like that (and be better with filler)

haha I had a couple of spare boots and an idea in my head, and I just went for it.

it's really hard to be unique on the outside of saxos these days. lots of ideas for the interior though

[Llardy]

UPDATE:

A few weeks ago I got some GTI leathers. there's a small tear in the drivers seat but they will get a retrim eventually.





team heko wind deflectors went on.



Saturday I picked up my engine bay parts and bootlid



bay before:


bay after:


also found a crack in my manifold so I will change that next week.



just need my shorter plates now and the boot will go on.





C & C welcome, let me
know what you think

Boot looks really good! You going to have a spoiler on there or leave it without?
