Anyway slight update, my head lining and pillars where covered in oil and muck that wouldn't come off so just wrapped them in suede :)




Thanks to Tom for the copydex and Evad for helping with one of two pillars. Cost me about £20 all in all and i'm happy with it ;) trying to source some black visors at the minute.

I saw a couple of different auctions on ebay yesterday for black mk3 sunvisors if they'd fit?

i'm open to suggestions and take ideas on board but your input is pointless and quite frankly boring.

your clearly not open to suggestions though, your just crying because i dont like it.
my suggestion was that it would look better if it wasnt so low. It would also be nicer to drive and wouldnt break so often.

that sir, is a suggestion, a point, an idea, an improvement even.

I also feel that if you find it boring, it could well be that alot of people have said its too low and not fit for purpose maybe? If thats the case then maybe you should take heed.
 

I think Chris has a point, yes lowering a car is fine but only to a certain point, when things start breaking etc then to me it is a little pointless.

Fair point i can understand where you're both coming from but this is just how i roll, i'll most likely get a 'decent' car with a Chris White approval stamp in a few years but while i'm young and still live with my rents.. why not, could learn from my mistakes or i could have a sweet car at the end of it, who knows eh. But i'm building it so that i can go low without breaking things, raising the engine, chassis notch, tie rod flip etc, eventually re-enforce the bottom of my car / sills.

Get back to me when its sitting on some 8" RS's with a bit more nose down ass up then we can talk  :tongue:

p.s liking the suede work on the rooflinig, b!tch to not get any creases in aint it!

You've cut notches in the legs that provide crash crumple zones and support the engine in the car.  You've raised the engine out of where it's been designed to fit and deform in a crash, you've flipped the track rod ends so they may be acting outside their design parameters.

Not only are you a bloody danger to yourself, but also to others on the road.  Your suspension will be incapable of sucking up any bumps, to maintain the wheel's contact with the road and thus grip, increasing your stopping distances and (as Chris has mentioned) the car's fitness for purpose.

Frankly I doubt your modifications are insurable, let alone insured.

You strike me as quite possibly one of the stupidest people modifying cars on this forum today.

It's not 'how you roll' it's a danger to the rest of us and I hope it finds you points and fines before too long, as given your age you'll be off the road and uninsurable for some time.  

Even then I suspect you'd probably drive unlicensed and uninsured, because 'that's how you roll'.

'how you roll' is no excuse for the b*stardisation you are committing to this car.

It's a licensed, legislated-for mode of transport, not an iphone cover or some other BS lifestyle enhancing accessory, which is what you're treating it as.

Grow up.  Cars are for adults, skateboards and BMXs are for children like you, who shouldn't be allowed a tonne of metal missile to drive into other road users with no idea of the consequences.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Haha how did i guess you was going to pop up, i'm not insured nor do i have a license, i'm actually 15 years old as you can tell from my modifications to my car, because that's just how i roll. please refrain from posting in my thread. Although you are correct, you are a bellend.
