Wow the combination of wheels , flares and especially that boot spoiler not to mention the tail lights.
This car will be resonsible for many people wanting a 120y

ha, I dunno about that! :lol: I'm sure that there's more than a few that hate what I'm doing to it! The boot spoiler is a love it or hate it... (I still don't have the final fitment right) and the white "unfinished" look might not be everyone's thing either (I might add the black rubber flare gaskets yet... I might even paint the flares!)

normally i would think it would look better with the flares etc pinted body colour, but on this i reckon the contrast makes the look. Very cool!!!

Paint all the bolt ons (flares, chin spoiler and boot spoiler) as well as the wheels black and it will look tough as fuck I rekon.

In my opion the white looks like it just hasnt been painted/you forgot to paint it haha

So I dunno about everyone else but Sunday was a great day in Waimate! I was surprised and a little lost for words to see the award for most improved this year, so thanks for that! I know the way I do things isn't everyone's idea of correct, or even slightly clever at times but hey... It's the finished result that counts right?

Sunday however, wasn't completely without it's drama though. What some might not know is that I had a small issue getting the car off the trailer once we arrived. Because of my insistence to park the car as low as possible I caught the exhaust the second the car left the trailer ramps on the ground. This tilted the engine forward until my fan went though the radiator destroying it, and smashing the fan to shit. All I can put it down too is the road just wasn't at flat as it looked... or as flat as my garage or my gravel/river-run driveway.

I'll get it all fixed back up this week, I have another fan and will order in another Madza 323 radiator. Lowlife aye? :crazy:

Seen this at the Waimati 50 man,
I love the look of the white flares and boot spoiler/front lip combination,
Looks really sick man,
Where abouts did you get the chin spoiler from ?
I know if wouldn't fit my 260c but any leads help!!!

Also gutted to see the damage of the radiator!

The joys of being low man ...worth it!!
