Nice spec, the chrome grill doesnt do anythin for me but the PZ spoiler and Work alloys are ace

Post by: shifty on November 20, 2009, 06:44:06 PM
The grills and the spoiler are going when I get a bodykit I may change the spoiler to a Mazdaspeed one I did think maybe a shogun but there a little on the large side .

Post by: FWD_Boy on November 20, 2009, 06:47:27 PM
Agreed on the Shogun item being a tad big, the Mazdaspeed item is nice and works with a bigger kit too without lookin lost like the PZ might do on a kitted car

Yeah that\'s what I thought and once I\'ve dropped it a little I should lose the 4x4 look I just can\'t decide weather to stick with the brilliant black or get the whole car wrapped in matt black I\'m just concerned the matt black won\'t go with the matt bronze on the alloys.

As I\'ve said else where looking nice shifty.
So are we going to see you at Brooklands as most of it should be done by them.

Post by: shifty on March 01, 2010, 06:10:22 PM
Dunno maybe the summer is always an unpredictable time in regards to work May-August im on 24/7 call out but I do fancy goin as Brooklands is only 5 minutes up the road from me bit gutted Tony wont be there ive been dying to see his motor.

Little fact if your interested the big merc symbol on the top of the merc benz world building I was involved in fitting well the I run in all the 3phase power for it.

Post by: RX8Head on March 01, 2010, 06:26:34 PM
But Brooklands is on in April so you shouldn\'t be on call :Giggle.
Yep it\'s a shame Tony won\'t be there as his 8 is great :cool and even better in the flesh than in pics.
