Trig 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Lights are good and would only work that well on a black C. I also like the wheels a lot, still prefer 5 spoke though! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

double-6s 0 Posted March 10, 2006 yeah - not sure which though. i might try weitechs - supposed to be good. Gaz - cheers dude :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 10, 2006 Looking good..... the Borbet C is such an old school classic!! They'll look a million times better once the Watford Gap has been removed from the arches.... The only think I'm not keen on is the rear wiper, but that's a function over style thing. Never used mine so I took it off! Tailgate is so much lighter without it!

double-6s 0 Posted March 10, 2006 i have to be honest kev - i'm really not into removing wipers, bump-strips etc. for me personally i'm perfectly happy with those things! and they work. so i use them! thats just me though :) but yeah, the watford gap needs sorting quickly!!! its embarassing! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted March 10, 2006 yeah - not sure which though. i might try weitechs - supposed to be good. Gaz - cheers dude :) Not used em.. been in cars with Koni, H&R, Leda & bumpy supersports :lol: Im running FK's on myn.. been on there over 2years with no probs :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bojmobile 0 Posted March 11, 2006 Car looks great man, I like the rear lights but like Trig said - it'd look better with a silver VW on the front I reckon. The lights seem to make the car look grey not black. I Think it looks great though. Very cool. From your other posts it looks like it's been giving you bother - what's up?

Trig 0 Posted March 11, 2006 I'd take the wiper off mate, tidies up the rear no end. Whack some Rain-X on and you'll never have a problem. Only thing is that if you take the wiper off your rear'll be lighter and there'll be an even bigger gap in your arches! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah but removing the wiper would improve airflow over the spoiler and thus reduce lift - so it would probably balance out - Trig! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From your other posts it looks like it's been giving you bother - what's up? thanks bud. i'm going to go badgeless grille and eyebrow i think. it does look very 'modified' but i love that look. very mean. it might look a bit grey in the pics cos they're sh*t quality. i'll try to get some better ones up. as for the bother in my other posts mate - various things. got a rebuilt head to go on once it's been ported and polished, and big valves added. hopefully that should cure most of my problems.
