What do people think of widemouthing? Spraying it black or cutting the middle out and meshing it?
I've also decided to keep vtr alloys, because I don't wanna follow the crowd and get vts rims lol

widemouthing?the front bumper, do you mean like this? ...

yeah like that, is it hard? im not sure wether i want to cut it out or if i wanna just spray it black :/

Doing a wide mouth takes time, you need to cut the slats out and use some off cuts of the slats to fill the gaps up along with body filler. Not hard to do but if you want it looking nice you really have to be neat and patient.

There's a guide if you look on here mate.

Cars looking very nice mate I like moretts! Rather than going vts rims, maybe a set of 306 cyclones in anthracite

Thanks, I might just spray the wide mouth, I'm not sure yet I might just keep it clean looking, yeah I was thinking of cyclones but they are pretty expensive and not many people stick with vtr rims, I'll probably change my mind though lol

i wouldnt just spray it tbh mate would look like a proper cowboy job i rekon lol ... and i have no idea i had an accident and had to buy a new front bumper just so happens this was cheap second hand on ebay in the same colour as mine and i actually really like it i think it looks a lot better now everytime i look at the front i notice it and think it looks sweet

Go on your mums or dads insurance if you can buddie, got my insurance for 1800 on my mums policy, on a vtr soon as i passed. Like the car, good starting base

i don't see whats wrong with not cutting the slats out think it looks smart when done properly and doesn't leave you with a huge hole

I think it would be hard to do it nicely considering I've never done any body work or anything :/

I might just spray it I'm unsure yet, I might look for a picture of another ice grey with widemouth or ill get another bumper and have a go at a bit of bodywork

josh11490 · 17th December 2011, 13:43

Well i was going to clean it, but its been to cold and the weather has been shit! so i haven't got around to it, but i have got some better cleaning stuff coming for Christmas.

anyone got any ideas on what i should do next?

Lewis · 17th December 2011, 14:37

Know what you mean with cleaning, literally I drove 10 miles today and its dirty already. Pissed to say the least. Car looks well

i havent cleaned mine for a month, but my old man cleaned his last week and within half hour it was dirty again so im going to leave it until the new year buy a load of cleaning stuff and spend a while doing it

its going to have a full service in the new year as well and then if money alloys ill be refurbing alloys in gloss black and either start to save for a magnex or supersprint, then there isnt much more i would want to do to it.

josh11490 · 30th January 2012, 23:31

Thought i would update my plans...

Gloss black vtr alloys
Supersprint/kam racing cat back exhaust
Upper strut brace
New steering wheel
Touch up a few marks on the paint work

and thats about it for now, progress is going to be slow, having to pay out loads for things atm and got tax soon -_- but when thats done the car will be getting done!

Anyone else got any ideas? comment and criticise people!

vtr-marc · 31st January 2012, 18:56

i dont have any updated pics atm, just looks the same as the other atm

when i get on with my plans ill be updating more, and my car needs a really good clean but with snow we just had and the council still gritting its pointless :/

ill check out your thread now

any one else got any ideas?

josh11490 · 12th February 2012, 16:32

bit of an update

Got a prospeed cat back exhaust system pretty cheap and thats on the car, i love the sound of it.

i also got a 4-2-1 mani that isnt on yet but i doubt it will be going on becuase i need to sell it to fund a new rear axle

and finally my axle decided to fuck up, i got wheel wobble and a bit of camber :/

but hopefully should get a clean and polish this week then ill update with pics

Comment and Criticize people!
