herisites 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Yeah i noticed them :D i will have to add some chrome heater rings though :lol: Tonight i completely stripped it down to the bear shell (minus the rear window as its pop rivetted on so just masking taped it) and primered it ready for the blackberry to be sprayed on tomorrow night 8) Took a pic for y'all :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torsten 0 Posted February 21, 2007 looks hot, im planning this too, a 1/18 model of my car !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Nice one Torsten! If you struggle finding some of your wheels then you can get some HERE but i think they will be HUGE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten 0 Posted February 21, 2007 got this w/ bbs here you go ;) BBS Le Mans Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Ooh im liking that :D can you do me a favour mate and measure those wheels diameter? They look like they might be 30mm ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Done a bit more to mine tonight. Added its 2nd coat of blackberry and its really starting to look nice now :D and i also painted the seats black and i used satin black to make them look leather (even though i dont have it :oops:). Going to lacquer it tomorrow so it should shine then hopefully! And on friday and over the weekend i will make a debadged grill for the front, paint the tail lights all red, and make some numberplates :D then its just wheels!

Bojmobile 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Liking it! Not gonna reverse the Steering Wheel then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted February 21, 2007 What, convert it to right hand drive?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Aye - lol I thought about this - you could try and mould a dash with modelling putty - lot of work though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Yeah too much work really :lol: my uncle has done it before but then the majority of cars he does are old american cars so they dont really have much dash to convert! Im going to take the plunge and get some wheels for it now :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Cool - looking good! Glad I chose an Aqua Blue Corrado now - this has been much easier! Weird - I have 2 Corrados and they're the only two available model colours! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Yeah that is weird! Maybe they made them for you without you knowing :wink: Just went to buy the wheels but then stopped as i would of been arse raped - 27 euros for some model wheels!! Thats mainly the delivery as they are from France! I cant find anywhere else that sells them! :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Pish! Can't fabricate some? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mave 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Looks great Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Cheers Mave :D Bojmobile i probably could. I will have to take a trip over to my uncles and see what he thinks :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Just get a compass and mark out the size you want - cut it with a modelling knife then get a strip of straight plastic for the wheel surround then stick some modelling putty round the outside - you could mark the wheel tread with a modelling knife - then paint it black. I'm sure you could have a bash and save yourself money - you're doing great already! :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Ooh im liking that :D can you do me a favour mate and measure those wheels diameter? They look like they might be 30mm ones. awesome plans mate :D cant wait to see the badgeless grille !!! im back with the diameter later if you still need it.

herisites 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Yeah cheers mate, i am looking for wheels and they come in different sizes, the ones i was looking at are 30mm which im told work out to look like 20" rims on the car :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten 0 Posted February 22, 2007 i thought they have to be 33mm for 18" rims .... :?: (incl. tires - excl. tires 28mm) but finding 1/18 scale 17 inch rims would be very hard .... im still searching for BBS RK´s but did find them yet! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Yeah i meant 30mm without tyres is about 19-20" rim i think. Either way they are still pretty big! I dont mind them looking larger than 16" but just dont want them to look stupid. Plus i need the car quite low like mine and with massive rims it wont sit very low! The only site i can find that sells wheels is the one i was looking at that my uncle told me about which is http://www.tuning18.com. Its a wicked site, they do body parts/kits and loads of other stuff and there is a gallery of some already modified models BUT its in France and worked out too expensive to just get a set of wheels with delivery!!

Tempest 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Excellent work. Over in Germany, they've also got the model modding bug, see here: http://www.vwcorrado-forum.de/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=26689 This site might be handy, loads of parts for 1/18 svcale models: http://norotuning.de/shop/show_product.php?products_id=698 Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
