Not your every day spectacle!

Are those Rota Slipstreams or Desmond Regamasters on your 2?

Ha ha thanks guys, like I said though it was purely for comedy value.

They are slips, 17x8 on the back and 16x7 on the front.

Thanks dude! It's not something I have done really unfortunately, however if you go to my website and click on the Facebook page, there are some images on there. You might need to dig through though!

You can get the link to my site under this message!

Thanks, luckily enough I know the site :wink:

Is this something your planning to have on the road now? Would love to see it on your stand at some shows.

Awesome man, I'm glad to see the name getting around!

It's actually fully on the road now, I just want to add a rear diffuser and change the steering wheel then she is done!

I have an MOT tomorrow though, I know it's going to fail on a few things but I just want the sheet so I can work my way through the faults before the retest.

I know the feeling. I've been there before :lol:

You probably don't remember now, but back at JAE, I was with the HeavySet team (Grey Eunos) Came over to film your stand at one point.

If you could get your '2 all stickered up, I personally thing that would look quite good :thumleft:

I remember the car dude, awesome!

This car is staying sticker free, with the exception of the passenger back side window, it has a Jimmy UP and Hook Ups sticker! I might treat it to a nice Status Error sticker when the MOT is fresh! :)

Don't know if you've Photoshopped it, but that car has a heavy rake to it. Is it really like that or is it a photography trick / photoshop edit?

The only thing photoshopped is the sky, everything else is as it is.

MOT didn't go too well, they couldn't fit their equipment under the car! I guess I'll need to try somewhere else now :(

I was wondering that. It's at a crazy angle!

It's on a sloped drive way, It's also 17x8 at the back and 16x7 at the front, so it has a kind of dragster look to it.

Smaller wheels on the front and lack of rear spats make the rear look high hence the rake :thumleft:

Beyond that, look at line of driveway versus the normally horizontal-ish panel splitter across the door/fenders.

Any more pics? I am intrigued!!

The back is just waiting for a rear diffuser. I do have the border spats but i'm not that into them.

I'll get some more pictures posted up soon.

MOT take 2 today, hopefully the car isn't too low again.
