black cat Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 No such thing as "facelift UK spec" mate really?? i didnt know that..... how come i thought they changed the front bumper bars and the indicators. and what about the interior dash do the uk specs not have a boost gauge???

black cat Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 The black lights defin look better, trying to buy at set myself but funds are a bit tight at the moment! Black on bright colours is PHAT! i agree. but i think youve got to pic the correct bright colour, cj did fantasticly. in fact thats the best orange ive seen, i quite liked th burnt orange on the vauxhalls but this is better.

toyotasuprauk Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Car looks lovely! I'm not sure which headlight I prefer they both look pretty good to me. I think a carbon bonnet would look pretty crap but that’s just my opinion, amazing car you have there though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supratoy Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 "i agree. but i think youve got to pic the correct bright colour, cj did fantasticly" To be honest I like black wheels on anything even dull colours, I just love black rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 those facelift headlights go really well with the dark wheels,facelift rears are a great improvement over the older ones IMO you got a nice car there Joe:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 That looks superb Joe, the facelift lights with the black wheels work so well together. Did you go for rear facelift lights too? Personally, I don't think a carbon bonnet would do the car any favours - it'll just end up looking like yet another wannabe drift/ricer car. Do what comes natural with this car, you seem to have good taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks mate, yes I have the facelift rears too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 really?? i didnt know that..... how come i thought they changed the front bumper bars and the indicators. and what about the interior dash do the uk specs not have a boost gauge??? The UK specs were only produced from '93-'96 so they were before the facelift came in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Black on bright colours is PHAT! Sorry to disagree but I think black on bright colours looks quite good. I wouldn't go for the CF bonnet though - it'd be too much IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supratoy Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 JAKE- thats what I said I think a oem carbon hood wood look cool , but everyone has their own taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Glad the headlights arrived safe and sound Joe, much prefer the look of the facelift headlights. So what's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Well it was going to be... Front crank seal replaced (small leak) Breather system tapped into the intake before the turbo Tappets shimmed Fire extinguisher installed NX direct port kit Re-tune of the Motec to allow for the Nitrous Respray in same color but with much better lacquer coat But I now have a transmission issue that needs sorting out and it looks like the car will be off the road for at least 4 weeks while that is taken care of. So no meets for me in the near future, going to have to miss boxhill etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Black on bright colours is PHAT! Sorry to disagree but I think black on bright colours looks quite good. JAKE- thats what I said Oh! So 'phat' is a good thing? Sorry, I'm not up on the lingo. Must be like when Lightwave said his car looked 'sick' with his new wheels on. I was like "Oh that's a shame. Can't you change them?"

Gamer Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 That plate will be removed when she goes in for the paint work. I will replace it with a smaller version probably hanging right of the front nose a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
