look good...

it's like a Stealth/subtle kitted nova !

don't you have to beable to see the indicator flash from the side for it to pass an MOT ?

Has indicators in the mirrors! so job done lol!!

god, you've thought of everything

as i said, not a fan of Kitted nova's

but this ones pulled it off very well even with all the added "bling" !

*Edit* i've just realised your rims are sprayed in a metal flip flake as well ?

The wheels have an ice pearl lacquer! Its a silcery kinda really fine flake! Wheels where a bitch to decide on and get right but they look at least 18/19s when rolling!

Wait til i have my 325mm disc and 4 pot red brembos sitting behind them, and my rear discs too!!!

Cheers mate

I know its not going to be to everyones liking, for a start its got a kingdom bumper on but its customised slightly with the new indicators and has had a swage line created in the top flat section which makes it look so much better! I appreciate the constructive criticism and especially the good comments!

Howevern not ranting, but its my car at the end of the day and i like how it looks and im pleased with the out come! if i look like a **** driving it so be it but i dont really care lol!!

Cheers for the comments guys!

hmmm its much better than it was im just really not a fan of the rainbow effect, a mate of mine had it on his nova and it ruined it imo. but your happy with it and its different which is of course why we all mod our cars. so well done

Cheers mate! Ive got MK2 golf front indicators in the bumper now!

that looks awsome
good choice on the indicators too

have you gone for clear ones?

Stoo
10-04-05, 09:44 PM
Cheers peeps! Yes it was the corsa fronted job! Looks loads better now eh!

Epo- Golf MK2 indicators are smoked! Inkeeping with the stealty approach!!

Well im done for the night!!

Rear axle is fitted! However, needs a union for one of the calipers that my dad forgot to pick up from protec duh, Braided lines connecting to the car and the handbrake sorting!! Thats gonna be a ball ache! Have to fabricate a new section to connect it to the existing part on the car!! Otherwise thats all done! Wheels are on and i cleaned all the springs and dampers up too! Found out i need a new set of dampers as ones fooked! God dammit more money!

Front ends is still on axle stands! Removed the old discs and calipers! Good job too, all 4 pads were cracked and fooked, discs were grooved to fuck aswell! Removed the front suspension and now its all ready for fitting the monsters! Another drawback however!! The calipers ive been sent, they didnt send any mount bolts, the origionals on the car only catch the thread by about 3/4 turn so would be dangerous to run on that little! Discs- centre hole where the hub fits in is bigger than the hub so doesnt centralise!! So gonna turn some ally tube on the lathe and sort that! Not a major one! Also the braided lines i have for the front are a little short so need new pipes!

Otherwise all is going well! Once all thats done, just need to get spacers ond im rocking! Fill the reservoir and bleed the new fluid through and ill be stopping quicker than hitting a wall!!!

Gave the entire car a wash and a clean!! Blinging now! lol! Even gunked and degreasedc the engine bay! Looks a hell of alot better now! Was dark by time i finished though so pics are shite!

Funny/scary moment of the day! Dad beneath the car trying to remove the old brake pipes! Couldnt do it so got a blow torch! Heated up the union and sprayed WD40 on it!! WOOF!! Up in flames it goes, right by the petrol tank! I could have cried!! I shit myself!!

Anyway, Heres some pics for u to drool over!!

See ya chaps!!

Stu!!
