Mike C Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 If u can't afford it, don't get summat to try and keep up, lol, it's how all the tack-mobiles come about <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just look at mine its a prime example!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> why? ditch a few little bits and it's cock-on <{POST_SNAPBACK}> where do i start? Its a five door, trying to be something its not, i once got told no make that twice, lol. Erm undersized wheels because i couldnt afford bigger. shite exhaust that dont fit properly, because i took the cheap option. Window tints not done proffessionally so look pants and really need peeling off. Numberplate apparently although i have no problem with it. Window wipers, the list is endless oh oh another one it has a sony system, roflmao, and tacky harness pads, lol<{POST_SNAPBACK}> how is it trying to be summat it's not? Kit looks fine on a 5-door, them bumpers and skirts look shite on 3-doors, as does that bumper Wheels are fine. From some angles there's a bit of a gap between them and the arches, but nowt major Exhaust may not be the greatest, but it's certainly better than any fcukin' Peco the chavs that take the p155 out of a half-decent modded car have. Window tints look ok to me, yeah, there's probably better, but again, better than most Plates are fine barring the borders and text look a little "intrusive" IMO and it has an iffy slogan Wipers do look like summat off ur average Halfords shopping trolley, but they're easliy binned Sony are the best mainstream ICE brand IMO, I'd never touch Kenwood or Pioneer shite, and without spening thousands, it's the best you will get. I got 2 Sony Headunits and wouldn't buy any othe brand and harness pads are easily chuckable, and when u got nice harnesses with rubber pads on anyway, u won't see the need for 'em anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
