    I changed them... again.. hahahaha

    have not yet painted them but will do soon when ive finished a few other little mods to the kit, but this is the photo shop of it..

    line around the car has gone, rear reflector gone, clear tail lights, modded c1 rear bar

    but question is how to mod the bomex bar to make it abit more sedate... this is what i was thinking

    yes yes i know.. crap photoshop haha

    im trying to get a nice, clean, looking zed this time round.. and i really like it.. but each to their own like most things lol

    it means the only seam on the whole car is where the stock rear bar joins the back... but im tempted to take that out as well... dunno.. what do you guys think? i am going all out as it is lol

    What happens when you need to take off your front bar?

    I like the idea but not sure about practicality.
    Not sure about the colour either....can you photoshop it white please lol.
    I think it would look much better when its white.:D :bash:

    u nut.......man i repaired two very damaged sideskirts and i had back aches...lol.....lesson learnt, at no cost let female drivers drive you ride.....haha....

    Yeh i have to say never really liked the look of the marble and the C2 bar....this setup is way better....btw where did u learn to paint so good and get your sideskirts so well done, actualy should ask gonzo about that.

    I resprayed my front in the pearl white of the zed and it came up differently and was a shit to shine up smooth to the rest of the car....still is odd but i cant be bothered...lol

    Sorry but PFFT!! No way, do not put a carbon bonnet on, will not look good on this set up, :banned: they have a time and a place.

    On the issue though... i really like it, looks much better than a couple of months ago imo :zlove: and i like your idea for the side skirts, think that will look fab!
    1 thing... with those nice smooth seemless curves i think the other more rounded bomex bar would suit much better :zlove: (like PHATTZ's)

    now you have to mold the rear area too and get rid of all the lines...

    personally i would have gone with the greddy bar for that setup, the bar you have on has way too many holes etc...the greddy bar has a very clean design, would suit your car perfectly.

    nice progress ;)

    modding the rear to be more sedate and taking the line out yes..

    the front bar was very cheap... lol and is nice in its own right..

    but its getting chopped up anyway

    all i can say is, is that car is ******* beautiful. If my car can get even moderatley close to that i would be grateful.

    Well done.

    And i say mould the rear bar to the body. i love the look when people do that.
