Well, After many long hours at the drawing board ive finally finished drawing up plans for my golf, Work shall finally start when i reach finantial stability in september (AKA Student loan)
The design so far will be to first remove the rear door handles form the 5 door Mk2 CL, Then drop it a further 40mm so it is 80mm down on the 15inch OZs its already on.
The front RA design lip will then have a DTM touring car front lip attatched the to the bottom when ive finished carving it and covering it in Carbon Fiber look film, The front grill shall then be replaced by a Carbon fiber look replacement and carbon fiber look tape on the eye brow spoiler. The bonnit will then be a carbon fiber hood with two diaganal vents either side
Side skirts will be plain and simple, and the rear lip will be a simple venium rear lip, The side skirts are being designed as i type. The rear windows shall be heavly smoked and the rear door shall be smoothed, However the number plate shall stay put.
The Paint however is where the car shall get fruity, The big bumpers shall be de-pealed and painted, Everything below the door windows and the windscreen (with exception of anything Carbon fiber of Carbon Fiber looking) shall be painted Brilliant Bright White, Everything above it shall be Deep gloss black. The Sunroof shall be removed to add smoothness.
The graphics shall really set it appart, from the rear doors backwards shall be a series of checks that make up a checkerd flag, Each square shall be opposing to the bodypaint, So if its on the white bodywork beneth the windows the checks shall be white, while above this (including the windows) shall be white, The graphic shall not reach the roof but will end when the sides do.
The lights on the rear shall then be replaced for black lights, The cars going to be a real black / White look.
Basically the pure idea of this car shall be a stand up to the VW / Japanese scene who seem to be shunning anything "different" or imaganative, A friend is drawing a Photoshop example tomorrow if she can so look this way for updates. Car should be looking mad tho, Its gonna cost me a bomb tho :-[
What do you all think of the proposed design? I think its gonna be like marmite, Love it or Loath it ;D
-
Hmmmmmmmmm......in a word - RICED :-\
Sounds a bit too F&F
-
I'm going to go with Adam on this I'm afraid. Why spend all that money doing up a CL when you could put it towards buying and insuring a decent mk2. You've got loads of ideas and fair play to you and don't stop, but I reckon your energies are going into the wrong car. Just my opinion matey. Hope it works out for you what ever you decide to do to the car. :)
-
Good luck to ya! Each to their own....
-
a genuine vented carbon fibre hood will probably cost you about 4 times the value of the car :-\
-
Well Fielder, I once had a gold Mk1.
Friends and family laughed at me for being 'different'.
I laughed at them for being all the same. ;D
-
seriously fielder, ???
when you get your loan your better off going for a mint 8valver for at least 1k.
how much is all that goin to cost you to do to your cl?
each to there own i guess but it is a bit f&f,
good luck to ya mate! :D
-
i dont think its a waste of money modding the cl. an engine transplant when u can afford it will just finish it off. 8)
i say go for it fielder, something fresh and different is what the dub scene needs imo. ;D
still think u should paint it yellow tho ;)
-
LOL, Good idea about a mint GTI, But if i work on the CL ill be able to transplant a TT motor just like Dizzie did when my insurance drops ;)
Carbon fiber hood can be made for around ?400 for a carbon hood with fiberglass on the inside, Not as light as a ?2000 100% CF hood, But cheaper and still lighter than an ordenery hood ;) I know im running a very high Rice risk, But i think if i can get the graphics to be taistful and not too loud i can pull it off, Im still avoiding all the lexus style rear lighting tho ;)
Thanks for the feedback everyone :) Ill keep you updated ;)
-
where the f*ck do u go to uni, my loan is ?4k and accomodation is ?3k, then with food on top of that i get about ?700 to live off for the year. How the hell u gonner do all that on a loan?
-
You may pull it off if you steer clear of the graphics! they are just too jap-cr@p-rice-burning-wannadrivaVtec-burberryhatted-foolishness!
-
^ unless you drive a honda S2000, then just about anything is acceptable.
-
::)
as sed above fielder,
graphics are well chav like, stay away from that,
but you got the balls to do all that to your cl,
and bcos of that i think its cool 8)

Im staying at college and doing my degree there, I study 3 days a week, That leaves 2 days for a weekend and 2 days to work, As im living at home my student loan isnt needed, And with little or no interest its free money, Hence ?3000 a year for my project :)
About the graphics, Im wondering if there too chavy as well, Which is why im going down to Eutopia graphics now to see some examples and see if i can get anything taistful going...
I just got sick of hearing how the dub scene hates change, So i figured i would try to do somthing different, But not too boy racerish, Im gonna try and keep the lines of the car and not ruin it with cheap bodykits etc, The motor transplant im looking at is...Well...A honda B18 motor, If i can work out where to put the tranny, Ill be pushing 180BHP stock and will probally just feed it off nitrous(100 shot), a intake, exhaust, chip and cams to about 350BHP
-
::)
bit ambitious for the engine isnt it fielder? :-\
please dont ruin the lines with any sort of body kit on then mk2, that would look str8 chav! :D
-
I wished i lived at home so i had loads more spare cash! :D. But then again id have to live with my mum, and that would do my head in.

Front bodykit is already finished (RA-Design front lip on Big bumpers) i just need to build the skirts and get a rear splitter.
The engine is very ambitious, But heres my dilema:
Ive been working on Hondas since i was 12 and could tell you off my head how to turbo and nitrous a honda engine, unlike a VW, So the logical decigion would be a honda power plant ;)
Raced A BMW today, Got ahead outta 1st and short shifted, Pulled up the clutch and heard a loud Grinding from the gear box :( OUTCH! I wonder if i could of won?
LOL i told my mum about my plans this morning to see her reaction. She told me "IF YOU SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY ON THAT HEAP OF RUST! YOU WONT BE LIVING HERE MUCH LONGER"
Guess ill be moving in with my girlfriend then ;D
-
moms just dont get dubbing do they? :P
-
yeah...whats up with that? lol
-
with all due respect, why not just get a honda? you love the engines, the styling etc. etc. Fair enough the body work is your taste and you are entitled to that, but a honda engine transplant into a dub?! Isn't that just slightly sacriligious(sp?)? BUt again, its your car, who am i to tell you what you can and can't do. I thought that one of the major features and attractions of the dub scene is the way that everyone strives to keep it in the family, with audi and porsche bits( a bit of a twice removed cousin, but still in the family) and just picking and choosing bits from all over the range. But then again you did say you wanted to be different...
if you feel im being a bit blunt, feel free to knock me back into place.
-
Na, I asked for oppinions, So feel free to make any comments, To be honest i was after the reactions i got, I wanted to see how people would react to a car like that both within the dub scene and outside it.
The reasion i wanna use a honda engine is that the whole dub scene "lets keep it in the family" in my eyes is holding the scene back, I see more fast jap cars than VW family ones, They dont use porche parts, They use after market parts, So i got thinking that after market parts are the way to go.
I like hondas styling and motors, But there bodys rust within 5 years and i like the looks of the VW ;)
-
do you think your really gonna pull it off man?
how much is all that gonna cost? ???
cool if you do fielder 8)
-
Dnno yet, The swap wont be for be for a few years time, Im not sure about the body, My car needs new dooes and some pannels are getting rusty, So i might get a mint 8V first.
-
::)
thats exactly what you wanna do mate! ;)
-
I personally quite like some of your ideas and can see where you are coming from, well apart from the graphic's that is!
If I was going to do it I would wait till I had the money and get some really detailed air brushing done, you are making the car very much your personaly taste and the graphics would let it down, any one can go and get graphic's and put them on a car.
your car would sure stand out so make it that extra different
p.s before I get a grilling I almost bought a G60 with a really wicked wizard painted on the bonnet, but sadly the car looked good but under was a lot of rust.
-
dunno if anyone's said this before cos I didn't read all of it but All smiles do carbon bonnets for the mk2 for just under ?500 I think.
go for it dude. I'll be putting my neons on when I get her back. sod what anyone else says. I love them ;D
-
::)
you go man :D :D
slightly chav no? ;)
