ShawnPreece Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 No prob mate. Not interested in Welds? I really like mine I am yeah and quite probably will be what I go for but been trying to find as close a style to my existing wheels so that I only need to buy 2 and not 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 One of my favourite bodywork updates to date.... Anyone who has ever had a Ridox widearch kit will know my pain that when fueling up the petrol cap only opens to a very limited angle so putting fuel in was always tricky without scratching paintwork etc... plus the look of the kit had a big open cutout at the start of the cap to allow it to even open this much which I never liked... well no more... The existing petrol cap and hinge have been modified so not only can I now open it fully to make fueling easier but also looks flush and alot tidier in my opinion The first photo is of how it used to be on my kit and the last 2 photo's are of how it is now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemanhead Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Loving the look, it's argueably the best looking Ridox out there, but are you not concearned atall about cracking at panel joins? I'd be paranoid ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Looking good Shawn that's white all right Cheers -Ian- haha thanks mate Looking good this, love the fuel cap mod! Cheers mate yeah as much as its a small subtle thing its still one of my favourite bits of this so far for looks and practicality Loving the look, it's argueably the best looking Ridox out there, but are you not concearned atall about cracking at panel joins? I'd be paranoid ! Thankyou mate thats a huge compliment It has crossed my mind as I study thermal expansion of materials at work on certain projects but it is kept in a warm garage all winter so dont think the range of temperatures it will see is going to be to bad on it, if it does then it will take a good few years anyway and by then it will be in need of a full respray to keep her tidy so would get it all refitted if it was an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 A few post paint pics after the bonnet and doors have been done too not alot left to do in the bodyshop now so looking like I will be picking her up this saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Going to be special bud! Thankyou mate Looks great mate! Have you always had that extra bonnet vent? Cheers mate nah was stock UK bonnet before iv added the extra scoop at the front to put cool air onto the turbo plus the 2 smaller vents at the back to let the hot air out from the back of the bay (again to try and keep the turbo cooler along with everything else) as a precaution for the potential higher temperature that may be produced oh and of corse the real reason of being a good friend and cutting up yet another stock UK item to increase the value for those still OEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
