What do you think? ummmm

[ollyc98]

Got my new plate through so decided to get busy, I took the lock off the boot and used the hole for the light wires to go through. Then I filled the holes from the original fixing, looks pretty good, need a re-spray though.

 

[curtis]

thats what i'm gonna do to mine, but with the number plate on the bumper and then smooth over all of the boot.

Looks good though!

 

[ollyc98]

I wanted it on the bumper but then I'd have issues with the light, also I park by touch and it'd get cracked eventually.

I like that, that's cool that is :upside:

Here's an idea....maybe get another Blue handle and fit that instead, it'll look a little more aerodynamic.

 

[ollyc98]

It needs the light

 

[curtis]

yeh thats what im going to do, but just take the orginal handle off, turn it upside down and wack an LED or maybe more into it, paste loads of glue around the LED to set, then smooth down.

 

[daveeeeee]

i'm doing this but will be lighting the numberplate from behind, getting a honycomb nummber plate, cutting a large hole in the back and covering it with perspex then taking the original lights and mounting them behind the perspex in the small cavity in the boot lid if you know what i mean.

 

[RTLkyuubi54]

I dont like it. It needs to be on the bumper....

 

[ollyc98]

As I said earlier it gets parked into walls all the time so it'd get cracked on the bumper.

 

[Arnold]

Dont drive into walls?

 

[Speedle]

i want to do something similar to mine but i was going to move the lights inward to get the import k10 look which is IMO the best look

looks good mate bit not sure about the light placement looks a bit daft

 

[sonic]

As I said earlier it gets parked into walls all the time

WHY ????

 

[ollyc98]

It's like the beepy reverse things but instead you wait for the crunch.

 

[Ed]

That boot lookes like its has more than its fair shares of bumps and crunches to me!! Did you remove the old lights with a sledge hammer?

 

[ollyc98]

Actually it was a pickaxe

 

[Speedle]

so why bother modifying something if your just going to abuse it?.........

 

[ollyc98]

I don't abuse it so much, I'm just terrible at parking in my area as I park backwards on a slope and if I don't hit the brakes at the right time I hit a little hole which causes me to hit the wall.

The light holes look so rough cos I haven't painted them properly yet, I just filled and sprayed them with hammerite as I'm having trouble finding out what my paint is called.

[ollyc98]

Thanks I'll have to buy some now. lol

 

[curtis]

park forwards?

 

[ollyc98]

No cos then it's hard to back out at night, I live in a really awkward place, it was ok before some idiot dumped a Porsche in my space, if my micra could do it I'd tow it out myself and they refuse to move it.
I might strip it down and put all the panels outside their door.

 

[james betley]

good idea and put arround his porsche

 

[whipit]

and plant the porsche engine in yours, or sell it on ebay ££££

 

[ollyc98]

Actually I was thinking the alloys would fit perfectly.

 

[whipit]

Surely five stud........if they are four stud then they wont but there plenty of 4x100 to porsche fitment available, popular dub modification.

 

[ollyc98]

They are 4 stud and iirc 4x100 but I think the offset is only 30

 

[whipit]

Sweet although really looking into too much info on this aren't we!
