G-Lader 0 Posted August 11, 2004 nice, especially like the front seats! Looking forward to seeing in the flesh @ E38 ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted August 11, 2004 Don't think I've said it yet so here I go.... Awesome! Looks fantastic, although there are still certain things I don't like, but on the whole it's a superb car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted August 11, 2004 Love it all except for the rear mate, just not me cuppa as they say. I need to see it in the flesh as some of the body work details look great. Not seen a ground breaking C in the way of subtile mods since J Derks G60 over in Holland (sure I have the spelling wrong there! I'll admit i posted a pic on the e-group of a flushed tailgate and how bad it looked. Then steve denton said i should do it so i photoshop'd my c and its started to grow on me. Its certainly very different when you see it for the first time, i had my doubts but now i love it. Looks so much more modern and clean and the rear and gives it the extra visual width that goes with the 9.5 rear wheel. Simply, it had to be done.

A20 LEE 0 Posted August 11, 2004 All of that, and you still cant see out of the windscreen when its raining. Not gonna do the Lupo Wipers? Not keen on the look of lupo wipers, could remove them i suppose. For shows only of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A20 LEE 0 Posted August 11, 2004 Lee, How do you get on with having no rear fog is that ok on the MOT or are we using our local friendly garage?? Mark? :evil: I'll tell you come MOT time. No CAT, no side repeaters, no fogs, no reversing lights and no ground clearance. I can see the fail report now :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted August 11, 2004 I think the best bit is the roof. I love things like that. Simple yet so effective and if you didnt have a Raddo you wouldnt notice. Sort of "only in the know" mod. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valver 0 Posted August 13, 2004 Look much more understated in the flesh. It certainly does - like I said at Tatton, all the mods are so nice and subtle that there's a lot of things you don't notice straight away........you had to tell me about the filler cap lip! :oops: The car's got a real presence about it! Love it!! :wink: 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A20 LEE 0 Posted August 15, 2004 Inspired by Bally's comments. Last pic has potential, car should have been further into the foreground i think. Pro pictures to follow in a couple of weeks. Hmm think i have a bash at turning one of the pic's into a wallpaper with the Voodoo Warrior text on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted August 15, 2004 Right I am going to be honest. I keep looking at the pictures and I think the tailgate and number plate in the bumper ruin what is otherwise a totally perfect car. Everything about the car is absolutely right, the stance, the wheels, the colour, the interior, but the back end looks too much like a kevved up astra for me. Sorry Lee. Still awesome though and if you like it then thats what matters! :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daves16v 1 Posted August 15, 2004 This is the first time I've commented on this car..................and I agree the car is just sweet. But I have to agree with Jay. The back end looks like there's something missing where the original plate was, I think it's too plain in that area. Maybe if the reverse/fogs where still there then that would help. The number plate is ok where it is. Just my opinion of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furkz 0 Posted August 15, 2004 i think the car looks beautiful from every angel..... the back end is different but i understand what is being said above,,,but i think it does suit the car and im sure once we all see it in real life no one prob even get a chance to pull a fault. also the wheels looks spot on,,,suit the car sooooo much and the pure blackness of the car looks amazing but i am biased....pic026a jus blew me away with the pure colour... well done mate and hope u enjoy all the hard work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
