Veilside & Alloys, What do you all think?

Post by chriminator100 »

Hi all, currently finishing off my veilside front and side skirts. Ive gone for a full respray in 3j6 red and refurbed the alloys. What do you all think so far?

Its on axle stands at the moment, so the way the alloys sit isnt like that. They were sprayed in anthracite black and fitted with toyota silver caps.

Not a big fan of veilside kits myself.

Not sure on teh wheels either.

Thats just my opinion.

If you like it then thats all that matters.

Always seems a shame to me that the sidelights look bodged into place on the veilside nose. Looks like a 70's kitcar.

Certainly looks like it's well put together though. :)

Looks a real good job mate, not overly keen on the veilside front bumper.

What size are the wheels? Are they off a Nissan Skyline? :-k

The veilside kit needs big wheels in my opinion.

Same as on mine I believe, though I've got Loz to thank for doing all the running around and fitting before I bought his front Veislide bumper off him :D

You might want to fatten the rear up at some point rather than leaving it stock. Maybe some rear splitters on the back if you're not completely replacing it.
