K11 project

[peposhi]

Hi, guys

Thanks to Frank soon I'd fit the lowering springs without buying/doing an adjustable panhard rod.
He's sent me a pair of those bushes:

Also I was offered to buy a back box for 50 Euro:
Do you think it's a good price?

That's the one:

I believe if they include fitting in the price would be OK...
Not sure though, so... I'm asking

 

[peposhi]

Here is another offer I got
195/45/13, tyres - OK, alloys - in need of restoration:

Currently not looking for a wheel swap, may be someone else would like to have them

 

[peposhi]

And finally some amateur work on my RAW
Just a thought, again

 

[Seb_]

Love those alloys P! Get them if they are not too expensive !

 

[peposhi]

He's asking for 250 Euro
Too much
If he lowers the price to 150 Euro I may think twice

The back box though... I can't get it out of my head :wasntme:

looks real wild in matt black

[peposhi]

The muffler got sold before I get there

Looking for other options. I need a deep, low sound, not necessary to be loud
Would you recommend a twin loop back box?

Is that any good?

 

[peposhi]

If you remember, some a$$h@le wrecked my drivers side wing mirror and I replaced it with black one

here some paint edit

And my wife's try

What is it, Ogi?

 

[Guy]

I like 'CAR' :laugh:.

 

[Ognyan]

Its a proper job! HKS Hi Power K11/Z10 rear can (Y)

 

[peposhi]

Yes, but it's 275 Euro before delivery

 

[peposhi]

I totally forgot lads - my first car was this red warrior called Froggy:

Ha-ha - I loved it, I wrecked it and had quite good memories on the back seat... it's been like ages a go

 

[r-reg-sr]

taking the back seat with things aye ?:laugh:

How do you think

 

[peposhi]

I've received some goodies thanks to pjg1979 (thanks, mate, you're a star!)

My camera died and had to use the phone to take a picture...

 

[karlj]

why do they look like k10 ss front fogs

 

[peposhi]

they might well be, duno

These are Ring Automotive Microline, pretty simple, but very efficient lamps

 

[karlj]

ah cool might have to get some for the k10

 

[peposhi]

some other news:

I got a set of these today and I must tell you that car runs better, it feels... nippy
EBDdude was right about them.

 

[peposhi]

A little update:

I de badged the bonnet and put some vinyl on, changed the number plate shape and fitted the LED DRL:

And this is my plan:

I wonder what other ideas you might share about the fog lamps positioning :laugh:

And of course, it wouldn't have been me if there wasn't any accidents :down: :

 

[Scott]

I think a custom open mouth grill with the fogs in it would look cool

 

[peposhi]

Bonnet grill or bumper grill?

At some stage the metal part between (and) the two bonnet grills will be cut and would be replaced with a black mesh.

 

[Scott]

The bonnet grills

 

[peposhi]

A friend of mine just did this photoshop for me:

Thinking to leave the bottom 2 in the middle and move the left and right side ones in the bonnet grills...

 

[karlj]

Sorry peposhi but the rectangular lights don't go with the shape of the k11 but that's my opinion

 

[will930]

Sorry peposhi but the rectangular lights don't go with the shape of the k11 but that's my opinion

x2

and deffo not that many bit ott

 

[Kalata]

x2

and deffo not that many bit ott

I completely agree with karlj and will930
it is too much and imo i dont like them.

Sorry манго

 

[Scott]

I think the have the potential to look good. But need to a bit more subtle.

 

[peposhi]

Sorry peposhi but the rectangular lights don't go with the shape of the k11 but that's my opinion

ANY opinion's welcome, Karl! (Y)

I actually think that the round fogs look worse :laugh:
I even had 4 round fog lights recently, tried them, but stuck with the rectangular...
It's just me, my taste or whatever they call it

here is some other option I managed to "photoshop" on my own :

 

[peposhi]

And the last option:

End off

 

[karlj]

And the last option:

End off

This one looks best definitely

[mckenziecz]

[r-reg-sr]

I'm not worried, I respect every single opinion... In discussion the truth is born and actually the comments made me see other, better options

Yo, Seb, thanks for the idea

 

[Seb_]

Round lights look good (but not in yellow):

 

[peposhi]

I don't know, George ... I just love extra sets of lamps :wasntme: and it's not that I want it complicated... I'm still looking for the best option though and once I decide, I'd go for it...

 

[peposhi]

Round lights look good (but not in yellow):

Thanks, Seb

Duno, I just don't like the round shape...

 

[Seb_]

I know what you mean Pep, driving/fog/extra lights are so useless, but we NEED them ! :grinning:

 

[peposhi]

simpler looks better,,,,,and pushed further into the bumper

They are mounted in the same place where my previous LED's were. I want to move them an inch further into the bumper.

 

[peposhi]

A little update:

I tried those LEDs...

It looks much better now, I wonder how long they'd last though:

 

[peposhi]

As my radio stopped reading MP3 CDs and USB a week :suspect: after its 3 years warranty expired, I had nothing to do but use the AUX input and my MP3 player. Once connected, the MP3 player was all the time disappearing from my sight under the seat, falling beside the dash or my feet. I grew tired of constantly searching for it and decided to make a stand, easy accessible and visible. First plan was to mount it on the door arm rest, but I found a better place. Check it out yourself

Will need a bit of black silicon to spread around the stand and make it look neat.


soo, that's it for now

 

[will930]

Sorry, mate, what do you call an old school lamp :blush:

boxy ones i cant be had with these round bubbles they call cars these days
