[Mk2] [NA] spot the modification

[DotNetter]

Hi all

I saw this car on ebay ages ago and liked it so much I kept the picture.



At a glance I would say the car has been lowered, clear lenses have been fitted, all the trim strips have been painted along with the number plate holder, the front lip and the sills and there are some aftermarket alloys on it....but...

Can anyone tell me what alloys they are (and size) and also, how easy is it to remove the black trim strips running around the middle of the car and the lip and paint them?

I ask as I'd like to have mine looking exactly like this (although mine is red) - I think it's very tastefully modded and all without the need of a bodykit

Cheers

Its pretty easy to remove side stripes and paint them i did it on a 91 uk model i had a while back. As far as i can remember the door ones are just glued on and the one above the vent is bolted on as is the one on the front wing. I would try and source some already in the colour you want of a later breaking model as i seem to remember the early black strip's didn't sit as flush as the later model ones.
As for the wheels they are similar to some momo ones but don't think they are them.

It's much easier to mask off the surrounding area and spray them on the car. Taking them off is a pain in the ass imo and you run the risk of bending them slightly, then they'll never look any good.

^^^ Listen to this man You WILL bend them trying to take them off and it will annoy you for ever more!!

Good tip - saves me a job aswell

Agree mask it up rather than take them off.

Make sure you mask a lot of the car up, if not all of it, overspray goes everywhere even if your using rattlely cans.

as said buy others mask up and do on car dont forget to flatten them and use plastic primer and laquer afterwards as for wheels thay look a bit old skool maybe tsw blades just a thought

They're not blades, they had a centre cap on them covering the studs.

I think he was refering to arrows which have no centre cap but there not them either,

part of me thinks millie miglia if they're faux split rim stylee, might be worth trying army mr2 as i believe they work for elite and should know plenty about wheels

I'm sure you can get wheels in a very similar style, if not identical to them anyway. Just email a wheel place with a pic of those wheels and say have you got anything like these.

[fearless]

these are similar to them

The wheels are Momo Sport I believe, very old so you can probably find em cheap on Ebay

Don't know what they are, but I love 'em!

...they certainly go well on my Rev 3!
