GMballistic Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Dan are you having a 1/3rd life crisis or something? Like the colours. Very cool orange & black combo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeybrain1234 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Looks like a GT3 race Car now! Really like it. Much nicer than the normal looking silver 640 it was before. Good Work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Looks bloody awesome now mate, really love that colour, nice and loud! How much did it cost to do the wrap if you don't mind me asking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Dan are you having a 1/3rd life crisis or something? Like the colours. Very cool orange & black combo. Likewise, think the colours and general look of the car are fantastic but am not 100% about the size of the rear wing. But then I'm just an old git with a JAAAAAG. Oh and glad you managed to get it fixed. Edited June 13, 2016 by leonk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Never thought I'd say this of that generation 6 series but I do rather like that. Excellent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Huge improvement..... Apart from the bgw Hah, that was always going to be a point of contention! It serves no practical purpose whatsoever, and that photo is doing it no favours at all but it's growing on me and I think it suits the car relatively well. The Alpina B6 GT3 car an with legs more cantered back which I may look into changing when I get back from LM, but we'll see. Out of all the members on here I never thought grundy and co would be able to brainwash your car taste Don't get me wrong on the right car I do like that look I just don't think the 6 is that car My mr2 will be right up their street (and yours now) when I get round to starting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'm very disappointed in you ... I felt sure you were going to get white lettering that said "Ditch Finders" :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Orange looks great, very nicely done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 I was very tempted by Ditch Finders and they'd have worked so well for LM, but this look is for the longer term so TT it is. Cost wasn't particularly cheap at over a couple of grand, and I could have got that down by using a cheaper material or not having the doors & shuts done, or even by just using someone cheaper. However, sometimes it's worth spending a bit extra on the parts and gaining a bit of trust from the chap doing the work, and I felt most comfortable doing it at this level. Very few people have seen it in the flesh, I put pics up here before social media so the comments are still coming through from friends and family. All seems very positive so far, which is always comforting as this price point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenLandy Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 So you can polish a turd! Looking good (surprisingly good actually), although again, I'd be hoping that the wing was just for Le Mans 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martybhoy Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 wow, I wasn't expecting to see this. It will certainly get some attention. I really like all the mods minus the wing, big wings are just not for me but love the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybp Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Well when I first saw the colour I thought "what has he done" but it's actually growing on me as for the wing well if you get caught out in the rain you'll be able to shelter under it ,you and all of your friends and their friends in fact from the rear it looks like a fancy bus shelter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Finally FINALLY got round to ordering the Pole Position seat this week, which will hopefully arrive in the next couple of weeks if lead time indicators are to be believed. Just a single one for now as I'm going to fit runners to this one, and I want to see how access to the rear is with these new seats before I ditch the pax one too. If access is still okay, then I'll order the 2nd seat. If access is rubbish, then I'll order the 2nd seat along with a custom harness bar and really just make it a strict 2 seater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
