Mike C Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 except that in the end it'll just look rubbish because i'll you'll be able to see is a couple of wonky baxboxes don't do it mate <{POST_SNAPBACK}> why would they be wonky? I like it just the way it is tbh, but still can't help but think that it could look "better" somehow. None of the ideas have been perfect yet IMO, so if any1 has owt to suggest then please do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 no wonder Barry Boys love you! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> there's a difference between making something look good and just being different for the sake of it <{POST_SNAPBACK}>You couldn't be more spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I blame mags, especially Redline, for hammering the "be different" tune home..... in many cases (the "wonky backboxes" is one) a car is created to "be different" with taste not considered..... cos if it were, the car wouldn't be modified in that way - cos it looks pure shite! I said the exact same thing quite a few months ago....... Take the Jag Corsa for example - taste = ZERO. Uniqueness = 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uniqueness = 100% <{POST_SNAPBACK}> of course, go to any modded car show, Trax, Donny, Modified Nationals etc, and u got 99% sh1t modded cars there, only a few are any good cos there's such a fine line between creating summat unique and still very "car-like" and with a kinda "performance" theme of some sort, which is the only way to go IMO or summat that just looks camp but why would I listen to the opinion of someone who drives a jumped up Escort Finesse with an ironing board for a spoiler anyway?!

You get shite at every show tho, even FITP had its fair share of chavmobiles that's gonna shape ANOTHER generation of half-arsed shite modifying but when it's done right, it's summat that is just amazing just a fact of life now I guess Edited May 24, 2005 by Mike C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) It's not really like this colour is it? that looks more burgundy, but maybe it's just cos of the old yank shitheap that it's on?

Ex-Finesse Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Mad idea...... black into red fade?? Have the "line of 50% fade" near horizontal, sloping forwards slightly, but fact is it'll be either solid black or solid red at the bottom. Either would work, as the black would go with the wheels, or the red would contrast nicely LOL Thoughts!/.??!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) Thoughts!/.??!? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't like stuff like that tbh i can picture the colour I want in my head, but haven't found it in reality yet good old Radiant is still winning the battle atm my PERFECT colour is just like that: but a lot more "glittery" Edited May 24, 2005 by Mike C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
