DJMARCOPOLO'S - The GREEN RIVET
-
Lol yea it surprised a lot of folk when they couldn't bounce it by hand! Anyway, car is looking fab!
-
Car is looking great Keith but I still think you need a fox style grill.
everything is looking extremely tasteful and I love the expensive mazdaspeed parts and the white wheels. But think the grill needs to come into the same league as the rest of the car. The carbon fibre work sounds
Insane but you'd have to have an endless pot of cash!.
Keep up the good work. I wish I had as many updates as yours!.
-
not a fan of the green grill up front but overall the car looks GREAT!!!!!! i love it man good job!!!!!
-
Looks good Keith, get some clear side repeaters though
-
Thanks all, I like the green grill as its becoming a theme under the bonnet and outside, was thinking of getting some green alloys on her to match plus the green grill catches peoples attention as i drive towards them and then they get the roar at the back for dessert lmfao
I do want clear repeaters gulfy but have been thinking that if I do go for the full paint job with tinted glass then I will probably remove the repeaters on the sides and replace with something very small in a different location :cheers:

9 inch borbet A's …. if your getting the arches widened... then it would be rude not to.

If I can afford it I will be heading down that route for the rear 8)
-
If your going to stance it like me your going to have to go lower than sixty five to get it looking right !

Quick update
got these for a bargain at the weekend, then off to paint shop this weekend for the centers to be greened up like the rest of the car, then its off for new tyres in a few weeks
-

You are thinking of the other Marco's car, with ITB's.
They look like decent reps. Keith ;)
-
Nice reps man, buddy of mine has a similar set on his 8. Slightly off topic but do the centres in that pic look like they are 'wobbling' on any one else's screen?!
-
Thanks, they are BBS just not splts as they are too pricey but got them at a very good price, going to get a brand new set of tyres for them soon after I have had the centers repainted to match the car Im tempted t go noble green but we might experiment and just put a candy lacquer over the silver base coat
Watch this space
Also cars in for window tinting saturday so thats another item ticked off the list :bigok:
@jayom, yes the carbon makes the centers move lol
-
Sorry to break it to you mate but I don't think are made by BBS! Thats RS 'style' made to look like splits.
-
HMM has bbs on the box too
-
Well if they are not split rims then they are copies as BBS doesn't make imitation looking ones I'm afraid.
-
Just caught up with this work log and WOW looking sick keith, like super sick :)
Looks so much different from when you first got it.
Well done!

Think the head gasket has finally shit itself, got stuck in tesco's friday as its seems to hydraulic when the engine is hot
Hydraulic = the hot water from the cooling system is expanding into a cylinder through the head gasket forcing the engine not to turn over due to cylinder pressure, its just a theory as its done a load of water again and it will fire after 2 very slow turns of the engine only when its hot thoughHurry up barrywhite and return my head set please !!!!
really didnt want this over the winter as I have a ford 1600 OHV engine to slowly rebuild on a jet boat I purchased recently
