Na it's not that mikey mate, I love the colour too it's certainly different I'm having the kit vinyled the same colour as the car to hide any imperfections as it's black and a bit rough up close but who cares it looks fkin mint!
I wanna be on the toa stand at jae this year so the cars gotta be a beast...!!
I'm not that fond of White gt's mate soz black ones and green ones ftw

Looks clean

genuin toms shit kills it, they actually toms whee;s?

yep they're the real shit mate

I have a black 1 and love how it looks when fresh but i've always wanted a white so getting a white 1 plus its got abit going on and im breaking mine so if you want about 240bhp with all supporting mods including all handling mods and braking let me know

She passed her mot first time with no advisories today yeyyyy
I'm back on the road

A couple more pics from benny on Saturday
This is my favourite

Right I did a bit more tonite and fitted my old lights back on and test fitted my tom's grille..
I need to make some new brackets for the lights and I fkin broke one of the indicator clips booooo
I love the mk1 look and the quads are paying for my bride rails




Hope u like her I love it

Very nice mate. :-)

Right today I removed all the butchered metal from the old quad light conversion and replaced it with new, then added original oem Amber corners instead of clear ones!!
I'm very happy with the result, Im gonna take her as far back to her original mk1 jdm look as I can!
The toms front bumper if u ask me is a little over the top so a livesports splitter and toms adjustable roof spoiler are going on next

Id scrap that laguna splitter lol it belongs on a 106 or saxo im afraid. But well done getting the mk1 bumper on instead of the TOMs the front will look mint as it is with the optional lip on dont think i seen a livesports front lip on a mk1 bumper most places only make them for the mk2/3 front bumper.

The mk1 bumper has always been fitted

Right I haven't posted in ages so I thought I'd better share a few of mine now I have added her genuine tom's kit and had the lacquer peel on the roof sorted
I'm well happy





The roof spoiler is the only part left to source but unless it's a genuine I'm not interested, I had thought about a livesports ducktail but I'm still undecided
What do u think?

I like this car a lot. only thing I would do it space the wheels out a tad as they are very sunk into the arches.

Niiice

15mm hubcentric spacers it is then! I was trying to keep her as she would have been when tom's designed the wheels to go with the car and kit, I am getting lots if people on various forums say "get spacers" but surly the wheels were designed with the offset that tom's gave them for a reason?

very nice!

are those wheels specifically intended for that model car?

also bear in mind that those wheels were designed and made in the 90's when wheels were all sunk, lol

a wider track can only be a good thing, lower centre of gravity etc etc

Yep they are intended for the car designed and perfected by tom's...
Et35 weak yes but they obviously did it for a reason, up close in person the tyres clear the arches just, so spacing them will put them directly below the arch lip
Meaning they will rub unless i harden the damper thus fking up the handling
