Nice work. Looks like it's been well done in the end but have to say it's not to my taste, don't like most kits though I like the colour. It's v individual if thats your thing. Hope you like it and get the niggles sorted.

Im not a fan of the Veilside kit but this has something special about it - works really quite well and pulls it off.

Good stuff.

Ian i woundn't go with lowering springs i'd go for coilovers as it gives you the added benifit of setting the car back to stock height just in case u need to go off road for any reason!!!

Yeh I agree, if you can stretch to it.

Fronts and rear arch clearance looks different so coilovers would sort that out too so they're at least even, and you can play with the height :thumleft:

Hi Ian,

Look out for the dodgy f*cker in the last pic!!!

Are you happy with the mirrors sticking up like bull horns? I had trouble seeing out of mine when first fitted and didn't like the upward slant so attacked them by slicing at an angle of about 25 degrees.

Did take me well over 20 hours to get them right though!

Just to let you know they can be modded if you want.

Looks wicked all blended in...... Just be very carefull with it, It's gonna be very expensive if you catch any part of the bumpers or sideskirts.

Thats got to be one of the only veilside kitted cars that i quite like :thumleft:

I am trying the mod with a spare set of mirrors a friend gave me, i will let ya know how i get on :thumleft:

And i agree i love the blended in look, everyone sayin the kit shouldn't be blended in case u hit it and it cracks:!: it just means i'll have to be very careful with herO:) and if an acident does happen i will just have to get it repaired.
