A few new pics of the lude (new front end on)

Bin a while since I posted so here we go, a few new pics of the lude as she is at the min, sorry for the crappy quality and poor background, I was too lazy to take her down the road






Ignore the wonky plate, I'll be downsizing it shortly and the H badge needs to be reattached too

New stuff includes:

ES Bushing, trailing arms and engine mounts.
KYB AGX Shocks.
Bigmouth gone.
WW RS Lip.
Set of trackwheels (in the pics) :lol:

Trackwheels are winding me up at the min as I've not had the funds to actually try the damn things out, nor the bushes nor the shocks - will definately be doing Anglesey at least this year though (said that before too )

As always opinions, comments are welcome - be interested too if peeps like the look now more than the look before.... personally I'm over the moon with it 8-)

Cheers

Dave

Thanks buddy,

Here's a pic of how she once looked:



I've got some new gunmetal rims coming with a polished lip, so hopefully it'll all go well together

Thanks guys, its divided a few of the lads in the UK as well, main thing is I'm really happy with how its turned out - the bigmouth looked great but it was just too low to the ground, it scraped on nearly everything around here

The new wheels are at least another week away yet, I've gone for 17" in these:



As I say, gunmetal with a polished lip - I've also gone for 215/45 17"s so the arches should be near to bursting

Hi Charlie

Painting the wheels was easier than I thought tbh, I bought a few wire drill bits, some brake cleaner, standard printer and standard black paint (with a hint of metallic)

I spent about 2 hours / wheel cleaning them up, brake dust and scabby bits took ages to clean off - once I'd primed them, I left it 24 hours to cure, then I applied about 6 thing layers of black paint.

They're not perfect but they are for the track so it doesn't matter too much

Is there really that much of a height difference from the ground b/w the two? They seem relatively the same distance off the ground.

I would guess I've got an extra finger or two, the BM bumper was about 3 fingers to the ground, I'd guess the RS Lip is 5 near the wheels.

Anything you did to the car would look great being that the car is that color.

I'm still partial to the Big Mouth but it still looks stunning.

Since you have the jdm one piece heads you should get the amber turns and side markers and kill those ricey clears....just my $.02.

I did think about ambers but I quite like the clears at the minute, I was thinking of tinting the clears and turn sigs though

Cheers Mark, I have to agree the WW Bigmouth looks great, but it has to be red
