Ha ha cheers boys I will get some more pics up soon.
I've just got this 16 hour shift to finish up then at 7am I will be making another start.

The car is a bit dusty now and even though I've bought small the right gear,I'm scared to death of washing it! :embarassed: :grin:

Yeah i did contemplate that,but even with poppers on the doors i think it would scare not to have something to tug at should i get locked out :grin: So i decided to go against it.
I did go down the route of polo smoothed handles but i preferred the look of the mk3 rear ones so sold the polo ones on again.

When it is engine change time i will have to modify a front bumper to take an intercooler and lots of people have said i should delete the front indicators/fogs but im not to sure just yet as i like the lights.
Im already planning on doing another rear bumper but this time with a us spec numberplate recess. :smiley:

Ah yeah know what you mean , de-handled my old 106 , put poppers in ect but also had another way to get into the car from the outside of if the poppers failed. had to use it once aswell..  :cool:

Car looks fapping awesome, loving the rear shot it looks really smart!

I think you should have smoothed the front bumper off too, that would have looked awesome!  :cool:

This, makes sense! :afro: Not sure how it would look though.. :undecided:

Cheers dude,tbh i will be smoothing the new front bumper,i didnt want to go to the time of doing this one as i will have to chop up another one to make the intercooler fit,so id rather spend the time on that one.

I think i will still do a rear us spec one,get it painted and if i dont like it i will just put my old one back on.Im sure someone with a smoothed tailgate would buy the one i dont use.....unless they like stick on numberplates :grin:

Thanks mate,looks like we have done a similar thing bar the front bumper. :cool:

Similar mate but think you need to take a closer look at my picks I've smoothed out the whole side! Trims lights and sill line :)
