Love the car, but hate the headlights.. And not to sure about the wheels.., black looks good but theres alot of space and some horrible chromee

[ZetecPower]

I think that looks quite nice !

Personally id gone for a sleeper but each to their own!

[paul26982]

quite liking it minus the headlights, love the wheels and engine bay, bet it sounds canny too

[iRoll]

I'd adore that car if it looked stock, I like it a lot as it is though.

[mitchipoo06]

Love it, esp the wheels. Ditch the lights and it will be perfect!

[Hollywood Wheels]

Cracking car apart from the lights. I really like it.......talks the talk.......

[stockver]

i have to agree, like the colour, the engine and the brakes...
not so keen on the snake eyes, morettes or the oversized (imo) alloys.

But fair play if you like it

[castrolcraig]

nice, but not keen on the lights.

just bought one myself, awaiting pugsport system, cams, chris meyhew spec head, cage, buckets and a
few other little bits and peices.

[Pugnut]

Thanks for all the comments!

The Alloys are 16" - The way the spokes go right to the edge makes them look bigger too. I have been thinking about getting some lightweight 15s with R888s for track days.

I got these lights to replace the standard headlights as they are soo much better at lighting up the road at night. The standard ones just dont cut it They look awful colour coded so i thought the black would contrast well against the yellow.

There is room for improvement in my opinion but im only young and cant quite afford the costs of an Mitisi Evo 6/7/8 etc just yet as ultimately thats what i want in a year or twos time - but for now she will do

[OllieBirmingham]

Love it, upload a sound clip!!

Want to hear it snarling and spitting on the limiter......

[dfen5]

Air filter?

[Pugnut]

Haha yes the sound is something else! They sound immense at full chat

dfen5 - Air Filters are in the post as we speak Only problem ive got is with the 90mm trumpets it is a very tight fit between the skuttle and the trumpets

[Adz The Rat]

Im loving that!!!!!
I had a 106 GTI and it was easily best handling car I have ever owned, was like a gokart!
That must be so much fun on the twisties with those mods, bet you can worry a few bigger cars

[mahatma]

It looks tight in there. Are you thinking of filter socks?

If you are thinking socks, consider some smaller trumpets and a proper filter, or an airbox would be even better. You'll end up with better power than you would if using socks.

Looking at the space you have available, I reckon those bodies would end up eating filter socks quite quickly.

[GINGERBEETLE]

get some tights over it or anything just to stop the nasties entering the engine!

no in all seriousness its not to my taste but it looks well prepared, just get an airbox on there before your engine swallows something it wont enjoy!

[Pugnut]

mahatma - For the time being yes ordered filter socks..should be here Tuesday then i can see what space i have available to play with.

As mentioned ive got a few choices as i could cut the skuttle panel (someting i really dont want to do)or fit smaller trumpets (ie 60mm). Im sure i will come up with a solution

[Liamizzle]

Very Tidy Car.

I love the 106 Rallye(s) and Gti, and with the Choice mod's you've used, i bet it goe's and sound's Brill.

[Schmeeky]

I like this a lot, very smart indeed. My first thought was the headlights don't suit it, but they're probably on there for practical reasons rather than aesthetic.. as was confirmed by the OP later. Shame the original headlights are so poor, as they look much better!

One small detail can't take away from what is a very tidy little car though!!

My thoughts excatly. One stone and you are fvcked...

Construct an airbox/cold air feed and stop the thing breating all the hot stuff from the engine bay. And get some form of filtartion sorted soon. Some Pretty Polies (ask your mum) and decent elastic bands would be better than what you've got today...

Youff
