XP05UR - couple of new mods

So this is the latest incarnation of XP05UR.. I'm sure the rims won't be to everyone's liking but I've had nothing but positive comments since they were put on which I'm actually very surprised about :lol: .

They're Stance SC-SIX, 19 x 8.5 in a "modified" 45 offset to get the concave on them. They've been painted in a custom orange mix with the gloss black and to complete the "wank factor" they've got the black sticker on the inner dish to break up the orange a little more.

Also fitted the replica K2 Gear front bar and grille. This needed ALOT of work to fit right.. It's been fully reinforced with metal bracing and metal strips have been glassed along the top edge where the bar meets the guards so it's fastened through metal and not just fibreglass. It had pin holes all through it so was filled, primed and sanded countless times to get it looking essentially like a factory plastic bar. oh and the grille badge is coming :wink:

I've also had the factory chrome skirt mouldings blacked out and removed all the mudflaps which I feel smooth the lines nicely.

Mechanically I've fitted the Jim Berry clutch kit, front and rear Cusco sway bars and new bushes throughout.

Currently working on upgrading the audio slowly with a factory looking system and down the track will be a retrim and general interior tidy up.

Better photos to come when I get some time...

Mate good work on the mods.

Bar and grill are really nice.

The wheels arent my taste but it doesnt matter as its yours and its your personality !!

Bought it off a forum member. At the end of the day it's a fibreglass bar so it's going to need a shitload of work to make it fit properly and look right, especially if you're a fussy bastard like me :lol: So I don't think it'd really matter where you got it from.
