I'm proper disillusioned with this bloody car at the minute. I've never been happy with the paint work and I now think that I don't like the graphics. So much so I'm thinking of renting out a workshop unit and doing a full on strip down to a bare shell, doing an inside and outside colour change and build the bugger from the ground up.
I will also blast and powder coat all the subframes hubs arms etc.
I may even go as far as a wide arch kit, I LOVE the car in this pic but it would have to be a different colour.
Any suggestions on colours though?
I just want it to look as good as my white one did.
The colour and graphics are very distinctive.. give yourself time to get used to them. I'm more of a 'stealth look' person myself but everyone will know when you've arrived with this look and it'll be great at meets etc...

Yours is a marmite car!! personally colour scheme and body style has feck all to do with how the car works! People base their opinion on your car on how it looks as compared to say the "gobstopper" or say "Zens car" ??? I understand how people think about power, but they forget about all the peeps who have 500bhp plus and have maintained a quality car at a low cost !!!!!!!!!
put the kit on but is that the direction you want to go ???? personally I think it looks
Cheers for the comments guys I guess I just need to refocus.
Craig, I haven't yet mate still on my to do list. This is the problem when you're not buidling a car on loans and credit cards and just relying solely on the wages you get every month. A six speed conversion is pretty much a months wages for me and with rent and other **** to pay it just takes time
It'll be an ideal candidate for that but if I'm honest you'd be better of sourcing a broken 5 speed. You'd have to change the front diff in mine too as it's a 4.444:1

That looks so cool, i wanted to do this to mine but need money first
I think your just getting fed up with it because each morning you go to work and just see it sat there, not moving. Once the engines in and your driving it, you'll love it.
Still think the unit is a good idea!
Finally got to see the Graphics on sat, look really good, pictures don't do them justice.
Daz buddy, your cars unique fella and the guys are right by saying you walk past it everyday and its getting on your tits, again as you said just refocus and be proud of all your efforts fella.....because we sure proud of you.
Thanks to Steven Darley and Steve Beatie I've finally managed to source some cambelt covers.
Despite some battle scars they've turned out well after painting. I used a good quality plastic primer the remainder of my one off purple and some 2 pack Lacquer.
Here's the final result
I've also had the intcooler pipes polished up and obtained some proper clamps for the hoses.
