Because he is a narrow minded pr!ck. I dont like lexus lights, so i havent got any for mine, yet i dont feel the need to slate others who have.

Thanks, had it on 2 months and havent been pulled. Theres a plod who lives round the corner from me and walks his dog past it every day, he even stopped to chat to me about the car without mentioning it.

I've got the standard plate and some sticky pads in the boot should it be required.

yes long story, won the auction of the so called 500 bhp 30k spent beast which in reality was a 220 bhp standard mechanically **** body kitted piece of crap.

bid just for giggles as i knew it was all lies and before anyone complains i was full prepared to buy the car and use the running gear in a track day car if it really was as described.

Ooooh InitialD, you're on my wavelength with the Black and graphite. I was thinking of going for a sort of "ghost" stripe down the bottom, identical to the roger clark but in a sort of smoked effect rather than a bright colour.

Saying that, I do have red calipers and graphite wheels so its hard to know what would blend well.

When you wrap a part of your car in the carbon fibre look vinyl, does it not show the lack of depth that you get on a real carbon fibre panel? Or is it specially printed to give that look. You follow what I mean Mr D? I'm curious as it seems a much cheaper way of getting a carbon look, BUT only if you can't tell the difference.



For the record, I met Luke today and even if he was a chav you wouldn't say it to his face

lol my dads bigger than yours!
its an internet forum, people have differing opinions of what they like, i personally dislike graphics and lexarse lights as i feel they cheapen the cars.
i am a newage sti owner but love the looks of the classic if its well done and subtle like hamsters.
i really like the look of the ops car other than the lights.

mine really doesnt look like carbon fibre . its 3m di-noc which i first saw on a crazy pickup truck about 3 years ago and thought it looked really nice . i dont they were trying to replicate carbon when they made it ? but its very similar . i think its not as tacky looking as the other carbon look vinyls ? and the quality is really very good Hamster like the sound of ghost style , nothing to lairy i think the wr blue is actually hard to match graphics with ?

the 3m stuff looks very good and its textured so looks very similar to the real stuff,
but its expensive probably cheaper to get a real carbon boot and sell the old one on.

Carbon parts aren't that cheap here. U got yrself a real bargain. Just a hood on its own was well over £870. U can get the wrap on Ebay but all dependant on size. Seen some that comes in at around £35. Just gotta be at the right place at the right time I suppose.

everything that real carbon has a gel coat that makes it glossy not textured but +1 for getting the real thing you need all the weight saving you can get with new age

I'm still not sure on external carbon wrap, the finish it too "matt" for me. Looks good on the interior but just lacks depth externally imo

£100 a panel is about the average to get some1 to do it cheaper than a carbon roof but i bet if you looked for a bit you'd get a carbon boot for £100-£150 with selling your's

honestly mate its not as hard as u think ? as long as u have a heat gun and a bit about you , youll be fine go for it . even if it creases or bubbles u can pull it back and do it again , its quite forgiving .

I side with you on all the above. Not a fan of angel lights or lexus ones etc, but Luke was a genuine chap today and has the afore mentioned on his car. I'm certainly not changing my opinions and do agree with you. Luckily it's sometimes just a difference of taste and not the situation in where you see a totally barried up Scoob and the owner ends up a tosser too.

For the record, Mr Sonic has some serious mods under the bits people aren't keen on, and oooober light weight wheels too

I still don't like VTA's though
