Yeah, the snake is making the car look quite cheap, and very very faggy.. get rid of it, I know its all about personal preference, but seriously.

my opinion, the rims suit the car.. would like to see the suicide door mod though

As of this moring there are no longer any stickers on the doors, fake snakes in the car and the EL VENOM on the dash has gone. Now the lastest addition is personalised plates (my xmas gift to myself). They arent fitted to the car yet as they arent legal until I hand in the paper work, but they are now mine and no annual costs for them. Here is a pic of the front slimline plate test fitted to the car

I got it as 8 3 6, which is short for 08/03/2006. Its the birth date of my twin daughters.

It can also be read as 83 six or be six, which gives people an indication of what motor its running as I am always being asked if its a 6 or an 8 because the exhaust note confusses people alot

Ahh okay then.. Very Custom... No wonder I couldn't work it out, it's completely personal.. Good stuff.

(at least I don't feel like a complete toss for it being extreme obvious)

Good choice ditching the snake theme, imo it made the rest of the mods look tacky and cheap . Each to their own of course. LOVE the look now. :D

Agreed. Good unique plates. Car would look 100% better without the snake crap. Unless the car is a show car and everything is done professionally and looked after in the same way then decals and themes just look s**t.

I did not know that. I will have to make that stage 3, but the shift knob I am thinking of using looks like a manual one

i reckon you prol need to think these mods thru a bit more before jumping in to them. as far as i can see most of the plans you had got scrapped before they either got nowhere near finished or soon after everyone said they were crap. sorry but you're getting terribly close to major wank value imo.

My car is in a constant state of modification. Stuff is always changeing. eg. The dash is going to be changed, tail lights are still on the go (just waiting for new parts) and other things are put off due to the time to make some parts takes longer then expected and the car can not be off the road for much longer then a day.

Plus inspiration can come from anywhere and thats why I carry a not pad with me at work. Its just a matter of trail and error as to what will work with a mix and match car
