Chris 0 Posted September 29, 2008 Looked and sounded good tonight mate. Really helped make my mind up on the 6 branch. Cheers! cheers for the interior tunnel tom. will really help getting the interior finished.....finally! :) glad i could help make your mind up with the 6 branch too, as for the price, if you decide to go with one of the raceland ebay ones im almost 100% certain my offer was £135 and it was accepted, £30 off the asking price. try your luck. p/m me closer to the time about this meet incase i forget, i'd love to attend. my housemate is a photographer so if we pick somewhere scenic we could get some really nice pictures of all the cars.

Chris 0 Posted September 29, 2008 these were taken weekend before last after my fpr blew out leaving me stranded in the back garden, ill get some much better ones up soon (NEED center caps!) your views on the tinted headlights, fogs & indicators, should i leave them tinted or peel it all off?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete_griff 0 Posted September 30, 2008 i normally don't like tints at all, but those look really nice- very subtle. there's something about black cars that makes them take to tints very well. i think they look good - in all fairness i would have had difficulty noticing they weren't standard unless you had said. i would say keep 'em unless they are affecting the quality of your headlights.... sorry about your bad luck with the FPR lovely VR again - good work :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted September 30, 2008 Looking good, was thinking of doing that myself. What did you use? Might be worth getting a smoked front numberplate as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
