NB8B Foglamp Intake

Postby Okibi » Thu Dec 28, 2006 6:30 pm

After driving around trying to find a security door company that's open over the \"Christmas period\" I gave up and decided to use flyscreen for now.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

but not enough cash to paint it a decent colour though :P

only kidding - looks great and has to be more useful than the fog lights.

This is with the bar just sitting in place.

The paint ended up a little bit lighter than the rest of the car and that's going to sh*t me. :?

Looks like the SP trick might be the way to go then, and if there isn't anyone nearby with an SP then im sure you can find a dirty old diesel hilux to follow for a bit :D :D

I think the air ducts look great too BTW, way more real racer boy than boyracer foglamps
