looks great :afro:

love that colour, i had one in jade green once and it never saw the road  :cry:

how about getting the vinyl covers for the sills? and not to pick it apart but are the bumpers sat level?


I don't think a semi will give the same results

thanks for the comments gys.

chris, i figured that the wheels have lifted the car a bit despite being lowered and if the sills were body coloured it would visually lower it. do you think it looks unfinished without them?

as for the bumpers, yeah they need work. the mrs drove into the back of it and bent the rear one. the front i'm not sure what the problem is but i'm going to have a bash at realigning it.

need to sort the panel gap on the front wings too.

thats why i mentioned about some kind of subtle skirt... i'm sure you/we mentioned it early on in this thread.

Yeah mate. I looked into it but didn't see anything that looked like it would work on the car and that would suit my tastes too. I'm not a fan of additional bodywork to be honest.

I've got a set of rx2 split rims and some spacers (think the wheels are et47) so i might give them a go at the weekend.

Thanks loki.

Sound illusion. I think those skirts suit that car but really don't think they would look good on a small bumper car.
I see where you are coming from though.
