I spent way to much money this month

**Mav** · 02-09-2008 21:12

Payday is great shame it didn't last long!!

Was going to buy some wilwood 4 pot brakes this month, but spotted a different bonnet going very VERY cheap, custom carbon fibre bonnet with bonnet extensions and headlight covers blended in with extended wings included for 275

This is how it looked on the other car

So hope to have the wings and bonnet sprayed soon.

Also need better braking so purchased some VXR brakes, 322mm setup with calipers, pads, carriers and discs.

Then to top it off, brought the piping needed to fit my FMIC, so going to be busy next week

Busy busy, shame there are no winter shows, as Trax is the last Mig one.

**BeckyG** · 03-09-2008 11:29

Well it gives you more time to get it sorted for the 09' season

Please tell me your colour coding said bonnet??

Makes me want to spend, spend, spend on mine but with having to move in November now, I can't see the car getting any goodies now

Keep us posted Lee...oh & watch out for those pesky wiper bandits

lmao

**Benn** · 03-09-2008 17:57

Just make sure you fit the 2nd're catch to the bonnet, i've see the wind left that one and pull the dick/pin out of it...

**Mav** · 03-09-2008 18:07

Oh yes I am painting it all up, my old bonnet needed a spray anyhow as it was stone chipped to hell and back.

The grille is also blended in so not sure what I will do with the bonnet catch as it has been removed (apart from the center pin) and that is a good heads up about the wind Benn

Still trying to get some 17" alloys and next month going for a rear anti roll bar and some coil overs, so with the 17's it should handle nicely

**Benn** · 03-09-2008 18:29

Where are you getting it from?
Sounds very much like the one that was done at my place, looking at the pic even more..

**Mav** · 03-09-2008 18:38

I have bonnet and wings now, picked it up from Portsmouth

It has the eyebrows and bonnet extention blended in, also the wings have been extended over the headlights, the driver side wing has a Merc sprinter vent and the side lights are alfa 156, the grille is lexmaul.

Colour is currently kings blue

On the bonnet vent the carbon look was left and the paint blended in up the bonnet.

He also had a flushed back done too

**Benn** · 03-09-2008 19:27

Ah yeah thats it, its andys (norms) bonnets painted around the edges cause he got it cheap ish cause it had damaged edges, so we painted just the out sides leaving the carbon to show thru in the middle. As you can see he didnt had the 2nd catch, and the bonnet came up on the mnotorway, the lip at the back that hides the wipers cut thru the screen right in front of his face. He came staright to us in a very shaken state.

Has it had a mag shoot done? Pics look like that.

**Mav** · 03-09-2008 19:33

Ok so I need to get the catch put back on the bonnet lol

**Benn** · 03-09-2008 19:36

Well if you use the bonnet pins no, depends what your using.
Sorry for the long story..

**Tom Williams** · 03-09-2008 20:49

I really like that look

**Mav** · 03-09-2008 21:15

Will see how it looks at Billing when I hope to have my VXR style bumper too

**Mav** · 11-09-2008 12:43

Been busy today

Fitted the bonnet though not sprayed yet, to see what it will look like and fitted my FMIC.

Had to cut the bumper to hell lol

**Nobbie** · 11-09-2008 15:02

Looks mean.

**Byron** · 11-09-2008 15:34

needs everything else fitted to get the idea.

**keithcdb** · 11-09-2008 16:10

I loved your car as it was, like the FMIC. I will reserve judgement on the bonnet

**Benn** · 11-09-2008 18:12

Like the bonnet but not a fan of the pins, will look good with the wings.
Not a fan of that bumper with the i/c in, dont like the way it pushes the middle down.. Maybe a gsi one?

**dj_woodster** · 11-09-2008 19:42

starting to look seriously mean mate, keep us updated

I will have to think about the bumper now, maybe GSI, had to chop this one back alot just to fit it and even now it's a squeeze

**jamied** · 11-09-2008 21:20

Looks ok, but i hate the bonnet pins and you need to get the wings done....as for the bumper...that sortable.

lmaolmao

**Mav** · 12-09-2008 08:23

Pins are needed though, not just a show piece

**Mav** · 14-09-2008 19:10

Few changes means I wont be fitting the bonnet, so they up for sale, fitted the VXR brakes only to find my alloys dont clear the calipers!!! Had to buy some 3mm spacers, but wheels shook like mad so have now swapped the 18's for some SE2 17's

**Johnny A** · 15-09-2008 14:22

if the wheels shook after fitting spacers:
Spacers are ****ed (poor quality)
You didn't fit them correctly/straight
You knocked a wheel weight off when trying to fit the 18s over the VXR brakes

Either way swopping them for VX standard 17s is a bit silly

**Mav** · 15-09-2008 14:49

I wanted to go back to 17's anyway for handling purposes

**Mav** · 20-09-2008 18:49

Ok VXR turbo on it's way, with VXR injectors and a VXR AFM, should be good for near on 300 ponies when I get it mapped
