[Aimez]

wow everythting has been done to utter perfection all painted up and you have bought the best on everything you've fitted it seems.
Can't believe its nearly there!
You can stop dreaming about driving it at its nearly for real.
Wheres the first place you gonna go on a hack to??

PPPPHHHHHHhhhhhhh! air feed thts a very temporary setup as its getting the vortech v1 supercharger bolted on very soon! 280-290+ bhp

Oops! sorry mate! Car is looking stunning already, great job fitting the fans and getting all the wiring sorted - would love to see this car in the flesh sometime later on this year. Cant wait to see the finished result

small update

ive had the alarm professionally fitted and im very happy with it has warning churps if you go near it and a few other nifty gadgets anouther thing done!

having to wait till next week to have the cenral locking fitted as im ditching the mk2 origional pants pump operated system! also electric windows are being sorted aswell when hes here. as the new loom i put in simply doesnt have plugs for the electric windows or central locking?

bumper is just slipped on in these pics to check it cleared the fans (which it does) just pulled jade out to give her a much needed clean!

im also VERY concerned if the bonnet will actually touch! and this woulldnt be a problem if the 6 branch manifold wasnt 1 cm away from the arb as i would lower the rear engine mounts but as arb is there this will make mani rattle so im not sure what to do there!
its the rear drivers side corner of the engine that needs dropping a cm
or 2!

Rash, that is amazing, a truely stunning car.

I think you have inspired me to a new project!

 

[Altech]

I want one! Jade looks stunning mate. So much work gone into it and it really shows, good luck with the rest of it

Phwoar.

Maybe you could have a raised bonnet? Like where you lift the back up a few cms.

Like this guy has on his BM.

It just seems to look better and better every time you pull it out the garage.

Cant wait to see it all finished.

 

[Rosco906]

[rashcupra]

fitted the bonnet today and will need to modify the the frame for it to fit but nothing i cant sort also had my head in the rear arches for 6-7 hours today making them swollow them wide rims,

shes lowered to my desired height now and looks the nuts! il do pics asap thanks for all the lovely comments btw!

another lil update

i really had to sort these VVV rear arches outyou can see the lip from the g60 arch and then a rolled metal lip from the 1/4 pannel, they were very dangerous as ive stretched the tyres onto my rims the side wall was directly above the 1/4 pannel lip and if i was to go over a bump it would pull the tyre of the rim no problem.

so yesterday i set about sorting them out firsty i cut the metal out which obviously took a while as my arches are stuck on and cant be removed

here is what the arches looked like inside with the 3 skins

i then cut slits around whole arch then etched the metal so no rust would return, then hamered the metal into g60 arch and then smothed it all of with windscreen sealer its given me about 3/4 inches extra dropping ability so im chuffed!

then stuck the bonnet on to see what needed modifying and couldntresist a pic

 

[danmay]

so low, so very very low!

i would be sh*t scared to drive that daily mate, it's too nice! kerbs and speedhumps will be your worst enemies!

looks awesome though!
