I did a bit of shopping...

[DarrenW]

...photoshopping that is ;D Too skint to do any other kind

How my car looks now:


That was taken on the morning of the Retro Cars Show last year, but it hasn't changed since then...

I need eventually to get the wheels refurbed (I need a Mk1 P-Slot first though, I've only got three on it!) but I fancy them polished. Wasn't very successful in photoshop but here they are, combined with 'sandwich' painted bumpers, which I think would look great:


...although, I like the tuffness of black rims:


hmm, powdercoated maybe?

And then, digging round on my hard drive found this:


I like the bonnet...


Hmm! If I were to do it I'd use vinyl sheet rather than spoil the paintwork. I'm undecided...

Any photoshoppers got any more ideas? ;D

[skoda_norman]

out of interest where did you get those German look plates?

prehaps a bit of lowering for your photoshopping?

[nickb]

How about the black wheels / bonnet combo with the black bumpers? Reckon that would be Ice Cold!

[DarrenW]

The german plates were on it when I bought it, but you can get them from www.eutags.com/ amongst other sources. Mine are white with a German 'D' on the front and yellow on the back. Quite amusing when people see the 'D' and think I'm actually German

I'll give that combo a go Nick, see what I think ;D

[DarrenW]

Interesting...



It's got a 30mm drop already. I'd like to see it lower but it's not really practical round here, and I can't afford adjustable coil-overs either

I think those tyres need just the small 'Pirelli' logo on them colouring in with a yellow tyre pen

[skoda_norman]

black wheels, bonnet and bumper combo is sh!t hot! ;D

[skoda_norman]

and those EU tags don't have a CZ plate!

I prefer white wheels and bonnet,

[skoda_norman]

for the white to work all the viynls on the side and bumper inserts would have to be white...

[GavinJ]

tried doing the bumper trim but it didn't look right, maybe black is best afterall

[WillCarter]

How about the one Nick said but with a completly black bonnet?

[rmad]

Completely black bonnet, slightly less height, black door handle and wheel spacers to push the rims out a bit..

[DarrenW]

Not sure about the white, but then I don't really like white trainers either...

RMads last one works but I want to keep the twin-lamp grille... I was looking for wheel spacers last night on eBay but didn't find any... I keep meaning to look into getting some because the wheels would fill the arches out quite nicely then. But then I don't know how wide I want, I'll ahve to get the tape measure out ;D

[Pillock]

black wheels, black patch on bonnet but not the 'sandwich' bumpers.... look a bit aftermarket naff.

I was going to paint my Mk2 P-sluts black until I crashed it.

There are a few scrapes on the N/S front wheel now, I could probably fill those I reckon.
