aaarrrrrgggghhhh, no, no, no, not brown. :(
blue like my winning blue looks great :) go well with those wheels.

it looks too ordinary in that brownish colour, needs a striking colour!

but too low sitting like that, looks like the front suspension completely knackered :)

I see this at Japfest also... honestly i really didnt like it, its dropped too low, I appreciate its on air rides but its really not my thing, plus the Bentley wheels really dont work on the 8 in my opinion. Personally it needs a more extreme look to pull of that dropped look... at the moment it just looks like a boggo car with some Bentley rollers.

Each to their own and i am not trying to offend the owner here but its really not for me.

Not to my taste, glad I missed it at Japfest, saved burning my retinas! If ever there was a case for a Barryboy posting of a Rex...

if its on air bags it doesn\'t count :P

That image just shows taht the front arches on an 8 are far to big! Rear could go a tad higher  and i recon some decent sized tyres, a slight raise and some offset would sort the front :P

Personally, I dont think the Bentley wheels suit the angles or the drop of the car, they just look like there\'s too much going on, I\'d go for a simpler wheel design or raise it just enough to see the entire alloy (not the tyre), but even then, I shouldn\'t think the wheels would work.
The lip kit is nice, the brown colour, not so much, if it had to be brown, I\'d go pearlescent, subtle metalflake or a subtle flip. I\'m half tempted to put a pinstripe on the swage line too... but I think I\'m the only one who likes those at the moment lol

Ok guys well the paint work is finished, check it out! I\'ll be doing the interior next.




Note the TT filler cap on this one, work of art!



You can see more pictures here...

I like it, the colour is real nice when the sun hits it, a nice deep cola colour!

Still think it needs some shiney deep dish,s but an interesting take would have probably gone with a different bumper aswell paint looks good though.

Arnie_O

Yep paint definatly looks better than I imagines brown would look... Reminds
