Spot on mate, what headlight masks were you thinking?
Top Notch! lol..
looks better than the chav lights that you use to have mate, lol
Very nice
Plans sounds interesting too. My sister is modifying her SXi... They look real smart when finished. I like the lights you have on it now. Im not a fan of Lexus
did you have any problem fitting the nearside tail cluster mate? My bro has these and he broke 3 nearside units as the blots would just snap when he tightened teh plastic nut thing

They were mine
Lexus lights only look good on silver cars, and some other colours.
i must confess i do like the rear lights, very mean and aggressive, nice one
yes mate they are looking much better now, gd job
looks great mate
them mods will make it look amazing!!!
when you planning on gettin round to doing them?
yup looks great, will look amazing once them mods are done. Love the stealth style
well taking into consideration that my second baby in 2years has just been born and I am currently buying my 1st house; Then early next year and by that time I would have changed my plans
looking great mate
like the pics of the ideas u got mate, will look good...
I drove past you on the M53 the other day matey, last Friday I think. Was in the BMW though and dont think you spotted me.
Heh with those stealth mods it'll be "Darth Waddi"

Northbound or southbound
must have been about 6:25pm southbound if I recall correctly. was I trundling along at 60 in the lefthand lane?
Yeah, it was Northbound and at about that sort of time. You where in the middle lane, poodling at about 70ish
lookin great mate, very nice
Lookin good, like ya mini-mod lol
nice mate, keep it that way, suttle and menacing
thanks for the comments guys.
whats your thoughts on it being spoilerless?
Im thinking of de-wipering the rear. what ya reckon?
C'mon guys, I value your opinions......
being spoilerless?
do you mean just taking off the wiper ?
I cant see any spoiler at the back?
Thats what I mean, It is currently spoilerless, and I sort of like the smooth lines, Was asking if you thought a spoiler would "spoil" it.
Was thinking of de-wipering to add to the smooth lines and tinting the rear windows, b pillar back. whats the law on tinting nowadays.
My advice would be 1 thing at a time?
Remove the wiper and see what you think,
then if you like that go for a spoiler.
You will need something to make it look different
got any example pics ?
I dont think anyone has done what I'm thinking of before, everyone just seems to go for the Sri or GSi spoiler. so no example pics sorry, will attempt a photoshop tho.
I was thinking smooth, de-wiper, no spoiler, De-ariel with one of those internal ariel strips like the older BMW's had.
looks good mate.
location could have been better though...where is that ferry funnel?
couldnt comment the other day cas fotopic was blocked on the comps i was using on the ship
Im cr@p at choosing a location, but my pics are usually a spare of the moment thing, as I nearly always have my camera on me, was just driving around one day when I was early for work and seen that funnel and wanted to take pics of my car next to it.
Directions to the funnel:
on the A41, turn at the village hotel in bromborough pool,
road bends to the right and you come to a set of lights on a crossroads.
if you are at the correct palce then at the 2oclock position is CPUK (my work)
Continue over the lights and past CPUK on the right and the site of the old power station on the left.
Take the next left after the old powerstation site.
road bends to the right and the funnel is on the left hand side.
I have included a photoshop of a rough idea on how it would look wiperless
cpuk cereal partners?
i used to work there lol, makin the boxes was so much fun - not! lol
In Bromborough 1 or 2, Permenant or Temp
You may remember the mini nod I was talking about, Well my new clear indicator bulbs arrives in the post today, therefore:

Looks better
whats next?
Whatever comes up cheap in the classifieds or Ebay.
Would like to get so eye brows or some m3 mirrors... we will see when the time comes.
lol sounds like me lol stunning car mate :THUMBSUP:
just had a play on Photoshop. came up with this:
smoothed in join line
square foglights removed and area filled
round foglights fitted (maybe angel eye type)
extra slats fitted to lower grille
looks good mate, get the fibreglass and filler out !!
tbh, imo, i prefer the square foggys
But deffo like the extra slats and smoothed join line
yeh, want this done by monday and pics on the site by noon !!!
looks abit like a coupe front bumper?
heres a quick shop with a coupe bumper that I've also done the foglight mod on:
I think the quare foglights look better tbh fella. Round ones always look standard and girlyish to me lol.
OMG that N80 camera owns Nokia's new flagship camera's (N95/N73), the colour processing is spot on, and none of this shitty colour algorythm that makes everything too contrasty and vibrant and fake!
Car looks great as well!
I ad a very quick play with the first photo in Paintshop Pro 8, and that camera is amazing for a phone camera, ya deffo went for a goodun there. Its up alongside the K800 imho (possibly missing a bit of detail in comparison, but thats about it).
Gonna get some great results with it even though I managed to make it a bit noisy lol!
Thanks Mate, I feel all smug with myself now.
What exactly have you done to the pic, I can notice the difference in the colours etc but what did you adjust to create it.
oh yeah aswell Matty, they have been resized to 640 x 480 from the original 2048 x 1536
Just a few subtle changes in PSP 8 (quite an old program by todays standards, but I really like using it compared to CS3).
I changed the colour balance slightly, to make it a bit warmer, played abit with the boldness and contrast, made it a touch more saturated, and sharpened it a bit. Oh I also lowered the brightness a touch.
Only took a few seconds to get it like that, it goes to show how good the image quality is, a few minutes and it would probably have been better with less noise lol.
I think CS3 would have given off less noise if I had used that for sharpening as it is much better then PSP8, but the time it takes CS3 to load, I had done all these changes already in PSP lmao!
yea it does take the piss loadin but worth it when it has lol... liking the new pics waddi
like the new pics mate looking good
hmmmmm were u take them fella ? looks sweet...
hmmmmm were u take them fella ?
any guesses of location anyone?
hmmmmm were u take them fella ?
any guesses of location anyone?
looking at the surrounding shrubbery and plant life, indeed taking into account the whole ecological system in the picture supplied to us for viewing and ponderation.... i'd heve to has at a guess...................... errrrrrrrrrrrm......
LOCH NESS.....
Its a little closer than that mate, its in Moreton....
oh....
wasnt to far away then... good location tho...should get our 2 cars shiny and do a shoot mate...
thats in moreton?!?!
didnt even know anywhere in moreton looked like that...where about? or is that a secret for your own future photoshoots?
I dont think the owners would be too happy if a load of modded cars turned up on their small car park. its has very bad access down a pot holed ridden dirt track.
So I may keep it a little secret for now, ha ha ha
