you need carbon arches to match with the bumpers

Done now needs redoing lol

Looking good Andy.... Mine however ended in tears last night.ulling the head and see what happened..

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Oh dear. Let us know the outcome.

Possibly carbon arches for a future change.

Looking forward to seeing this soon, Andy .

Car is looking great andy. Every time i see it, it reinforces the fact the pain on mine is crap

Shame the first letter on the reg wasn't an M

Double dribble


just dont give it a people name, thats up there with electric superchargers, hovercraft body kits and carbon on a roll!

What that's crazy, you go commando hahaha! How heavy is your helmet ?

Made a start on bastardising some Aluminium into a grille. Uncle Carl made me some spangly head light rings ages ago.



I plan to slap some alu flat bar around it to fill the hole up.




Need to add a slight bend in the centre of all the rungs and then cut to size. Hopefully it will work and look good.

Its touches like this that make this car

Thanks. What are peoples thoughts on putting chicken wire type grille mesh (not actual chicken wire) behind and painting the mesh satin black?

Personally i'd have painted the grille black anyway, but that is just me.

A fine mesh at the back may work well. I suppose you can trial it and see what it looks like

I like diamond mesh griiles - got two of ,em.

I have some F1 mesh in mine as I found I nice big stone in my rad after its 1st outing. If it works for Lewis it will me

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Really impressive work... I'd love mine to turn out nearly as nice as this! Keep it up!!

Thanks. I've got a piece of this stuff big enough:



But I think something like this might be better:

every chav has the top one

Done now needs redoing lol

That top one is just expanded metal and is really naff.

The diamond mesh is expensive but make sure you get chromed stainless as the plain stainless looks dull by comparison.

Echo tadges's comments

second one is a bit bling but more air flow
but i have to say the first one looks more purpose full

i fucking hate bi polar!

i love it!

I have some of the stuff in the lower pic its not new and needs scrubbing but your welcome to it ( its what i have behind mine)

Yes i moved to the darkside

Instagram @jdm_brett

I saw daves (tadge) grill today with the lower mesh and it looks much nicer then the other stuff. Looks stronger too, that aluminium expanded stuff isn't the strongest.

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

I might have that off you Brett. I reckon I would paint it matt/satin black to hide it a bit.
