Hey guys , i have finaly finished my toy, i didnt post any pics of the forum til now just so people can go threw them all in one go instead of waiting for new pics,
if you want any closer pics of things or wondered how something works i can take detailed pics and stuff, i have done LOADS of custom stuff on my toy and lots of it is hard to get pics of because its all hidden ,lol

the car has been fitting with a suzuki factory standards de-restrictor , power commander , gear indicator , and a speedo healer , clifford 650 with engine start and loads of little goodies, a trick shifter is going to be fitting in the next month or two.

the project took me 3 and a bit years , starting the project at 18 years old and finishing it and driving it now on the road at just 21 a couple of months ago.

i have fitted it with as much carbon goodies as i could find , and i have more to fit when i get round to it, ie) steering wheel, sun roof , light rings, gear shifter , chain guard , exhaust , etc....

the colour is HONDA championship white.
would like to thank my mate colin "boiler b***h" whitehead for help with the wiring and steve nunn for textiles and fabrication help.

thanks guys , let me know what you think,
im open to coments .
and i hope to see you at a cruise/meet soon in my car.

Nice job Spoonz looks fantastic! Glad you got her done

One question it looks as though your side mirrors are on backwards.......shouldnt the pointed end go toward the panel side of the car? It could just be the picture but it looks a little wonky being so tight to the car.

[Spoonz]

everyone asks that , lol

there ment to be like that, they are an amazing mirror , there convex too , i see everything

its nice them being tight like they are , stop vibration this way, the ones where the stick of the mirrow goes in the other side they tend to bounce and wobble, they are real carbon too yum i have a fetish.

thanks for the comments

carbon is one of gods many gifts , lol
looked at the f1 style, prefered these but it always depends what look your going for, mirrors can kill a car imo , i actually like the origional mini mirrors,

wow thats amazing,

[wakkoboi]

dials are Ac auto - TECHNICS about £100 a dial they do a system check (needle throws all the way over and back when you turn the key same as the bike clocks,. looks trick.
the steering wheel boss is a RAGE one, about £80 well worth the money and they are really stiff unlike other copies.
the mirrors are from hongkong there is a chaps website that custom makes them , ill find it later as im at work.
