ripped_fear Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Been busy today, been playing with the LEDs, put a new one behind the fuel gauge. and sanded the filter of the back of the speedo as it was still green. Will post nighttime pictures once the suns gone down. Also started cleaning up the inlet and bought some new bolts for the de cat. Also some pictures of how shes sitting. Finnaly treated her to some new brake fluid. Also TRD blade has had work started, mounting started. before Edited January 25, 2014 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 New pics- The camera makes the speedo look slightly translucent now but in real life it looks much better, very happy. Havent managed to sort the ac unit though, think i need to get it looked t by someone who knows electronics as im not sure why its not illuminating when the lights are off. Also a quick pic of where i am on the inlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well the spoiler is all in primer, hopfully it fits now! Also the new lip just arrived! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Got the Lip on, it needs some work, The pre drilled wholes dont line up great at the rear of the lip, however its a start and am happy with it Also unsure weather to paint in in 199 again like the old one? opinions?

Timlowthian Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 That looks exactly the same as my lip, you get it from the US eBay? The pre drilled whole on the same side did that for me but once modified it fits great for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yep i used the link you sent me on my wanted thread. Seems good for the money no non genuine stuff fits straight out the packet so im still happy. My firbe glass one took lots of work but looked great once done so this one can only be easier. Cant help but feel maybe i should go even lower on the front, its already 3cm lower than standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timlowthian Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I was actually looking at the height of yours thinking I need to get mine lowered asap. Looks better at your height as mine is rather truck like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Cheers mate it certainly sits much better now, although the ride is firm. Still need to get the arches rolled though. Really want to get the exterior done this year, all the parts are on order so it should hopefully be done ready for the show season. Ive been running mine for the last couple of weeks how you where with no lip, looked like a damn land rover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomo8568 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You going to paint the front lip mate? I would as think it looks a bit odd black with you having the side skirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm undecided if I'm honest, I was planning on doing so but I quite like it now. Going to keep it as is for now. Plus i may remove the sideskirts anyway so that will influence my decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
