I think you should get the car warped in that carbon fibre stuff ? There is a place i know called RcR GCF they do it cheep, I think it will look well good!

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

I think the headlight surrounds will look good on your car. I feel the chrome doesn't really suit it...same goes for the grille, looks a bit Ricer...ooh and change the indicators back to orange whilst you're at it*wink*

Maybe painting your bonnet with grey 'John Cooper' stripes will bring some more visual cohesion into the car....make it easier on the eye, more together if that makes sense. Same could go for grey front arches and grey grille. Takes a bit of experimenting really, photoshop is your friend?

Great car overall, I think with some detailed touches it could be even greater....

Weren't you looking to save weight? A rear beam will shift a fair bit.

Lee, If that's how you talk to women I think you're the one who should stop being a wanker. Take it on the chin, it's a bit of banter, and if you don't like it, then just ignore it.

Bless your heart. Considering 75% of the people on this thread are making fun of you I'm surprised you haven't taken the hint and gone elsewhere. I don't think anyone here is really interested in someone who just gets other people to throw tat at their car for them thinking they are even close to being on par with some of the really great cars on here. But thats OT.

That attitude is pathetic. Forums are for sharing information etc, TM being invaluable for this. New members being abused as their car "isn't as nice" as others is what gives forums a bad reputation and just is unnecessary.

Frankly, I'm amazed that it took 5 pages for Lee to say anything to the abuse.

Just my opinion...

Not really when it wasn't needed to call me that, resoring to swearing at someone because someone was right is more pathetic. I'm not interested in arguing with you or him for that matter. Mostly because people have tried to offer advice and he's not really taken it, people are asking how he's actually saving the weight out of curiosity because he isn't really doing much to justify what he's claiming.

I must say this car looked really well at Bingley Hall. Certainly well put together, a real credit to builder. Surprised your still running a dizzy though. Any more plans to develop the engine?

Out of interest how do you find the Dogbox?
