today ive sprayed back wheels black temp messure as im not sure on colour and spent most of the day cleaning it














next on the list will be rear lights

[chubby353]

finished the front and rear lights off today and tried taking some arty photos

[iamsuperdan]

I'm really starting to hate you Europeans and your intact front bumpers.






Wagon looks great! Funny, people here stick euro plates in the windows and look for clear lenses, and here you are putting NA plates in your window nad going for amber lenses.

[chubby353]

thanks

i really like the u.s spec b3s but over here there hard to come by

but i will be updating it soon with running amber indies up front once the bits arive in the post

[koolkevin43]

The amber looks awesome mate. What did you use?

[Venkman]

i dig the lights, you really need smaller tires though.

[iamsuperdan]

I'll trade you my NA rear plate surround for your euro one.

[chubby353]

Rear lights i used glass paint just brush it on easyest thing ever

and the rear tub plate holder i think ive sorced one

[xxxfattonyxxx]

We kinda match

[ellocolindo]

yes in europe either there is no so much snow like here in canada; so no damaged front chin spoilers or lower fascias; cars are not lowered or better road manteniance...

i love the front end with amber turns...

can you hook me up with a set or 2? i have 2 e-code sets with leveling systems and i want to keep the amber color scheme on the front of my saloon...

i would add a GT package to the wagon of yours and call it done...

[ellocolindo]

how about a " banana looking " tow hook? can you source something like that for the sedan?...

[chubby353]

just a little bit of an update going down the u.s route on this

had some bulb holders turn up today and this is the end result

sorry about the poor pix as there taken on my phone

[chubby353]

[SpaceHamster]

Good stuff man. I like the wheels a lot... I just feel like they are too small. Are they 15 inches? 16 inches would be better

[IFlyGTI]

The wheels do look good on there, it's just that a darker wheel always looks smaller than it actually is. Happened with a set of OZ F1 Cups I had on a car years ago. Here's my '91 on some 16" Porker rims for comparison. Could stand more low, but as it stands, I'm happy.

[chubby353]

i sort of fell out of love with my car but now i have new wheels please enjoy

gave the hearse a quick clean not to bad if i say so my self just need some spacers in my life

[db3ck]

Nice wagon, ur doing alot if good work to the car

[chubby353]

had a package turn up this morning

25mm wheel spacers



before pix


after pix


next up is to get it lower and all clean ready for players

[red85GTi]

nice wagon! what did you use to do those tails? did you spray the corners too?

i want a euro plate tub!

[jujuVR6]

Curious about your tow package. Do you have an information or pics of brand, mounting, rating, etc?

[JDMDubRy]

clean wago man!
