[N8]

Glad you like it guys, if I'm honest, I'm not sold on the grey, I may tweak that slightly for edition, we shall see

 

[Ash187]

do the centre of the alloys in Akoya and the outer part in purple

 

[N8]

Your not far off, will have Akoya centres and a polished lip most likely

Sorry N8 but that looks over-wheeled to me - but then I'm an old git

Fair dues for the effort though :thumbsup:

To be honest Paul, you are right.

















You are an old git

This car is ****** awsome N8, kudos to you!! The mods you have done are very tasteful and not over the top.

What modifications have you done to the guards so they dont rub? What ET are you running?

 

[RicoS3]

I saw what looked like your car in one of Ian's fb pics a while back, but the new front threw me. This thread confirms it though. The facelift makes it look 'right' if you know what I mean, and it matches the rotors a treat. Hats off to you for continually pushing it N8.

WANT the 20" rotors (but only when I finally shut the hell up and get the new car ).
WANT the 8 pots.

Cheers Gav! I like the essence of the word 'factory' and 'OEM'. My take on modifying things has always been using other parts from other models to improve a base which I already have. This is what I set out to achieve. Whilst the outside is very understated the air ride and interior colour are a very loud statement But you had to add a twist to these things!

The rims/arches are all stock. 20" x 8.5 ET45, I will be running a 5mm spacer rear in the future, once I've messed around with the camber a little more!

Long time brother! Yes it was about time I updated it! Still lots of work to be done, will it ever be "done" who knows. But I'm happy enough for now, there isn't anything else drastic planned yet, just ironing out a few issues really.

God I love you Ash, cheers lad.

No worries mate

 

[Juicy Jen]

Absolutely stunning N8 and I have to say I much prefer the Rotors, looks much more OEM with a twist! Not really seen a close up of the interior before and it looks amazing

Buckets are constantly under seat covers tbh, so I forget about them half the time, nice pulling them out every now and then though

Hi buddy, long time reader first time writer! Have to say I love the motor, I'm just about to stick a private plate on mine, and love your rear tailgate, is it US spec? And do you know where they're available and if it's legal?

Much praise for your keen eye! The thing looks beautiful

 

[N8]

No its not a US tailgate, it's a UK one with shortened recess. Yes it is legal as the plate just requires an 11mm border.

Cheers N8

 

[Ash187]

So at inters I asked the dubmiester guys if they do shortened metal pressed plates and they told me that shortened plates are illegal?
Not like that is going to stop me but I thought il pass on what I heard

 

[N8]

Read above. There needs to be an 11mm border around the lettering, that is what UK law states, so as along as there is an 11mm border then it is legal.

N8 who did the work on the shortened recess?

 

[N8]

My old bodyshop guy, but he's out of the game now :Flush:

Do you know what method he used? Want mine done but dont fancy buying a new tailgate and getting that tinted and the spoiler moved too much effort.

yh i already knew that..... which is why it confused me when Dubmiester said that its illegal. A company like that who have a business on making number plates should know the correct rules?

You gonna get the right people to do it. Give Tim @ Truepaintworks he did Matt Andrews or Matt @ UCC.

Dunno brother, I'm all about UK plates anyway.

Cheers N8, Will give them a call on monday.

 

[N8]

I don't like the US tailgate, its too deep, there is one for sale here:

Complete US Spec A3 8P Sportback Rear End

 

[Ash B]

What's the next event your going to N8?

I don't like the US tailgate, its too deep, there is one for sale here:

Complete US Spec A3 8P Sportback Rear End

There another one for sale on Edition 38 and has been for a while Mikeyboy £100 ONO if any one interested

 

[N8]

Its' much better & easier having the recess done, as said IMO the US recess just looks too deep, I prefer the UK style plate over the US.

 

[batch]

N8 please let me know if you're selling your winter TDs, they are sweet!

 

[Heights]

Outside the Casa Blanca, what a touch! Killin' it on these rims N8, didn't like the RS6s at all, they did nothing for your car, and I know your next set will probably top everything to touch this fine SB

 

[A3_Black_Edition]

WOW, simply stunning!

Fair play to you!

Cheers,
Si

 

[PaulAr]

It's a sportback on rotors , whats not to like.:thumbsup:

 

[N8]

Cheers lads! Need to fix a few issues to get it ready for Detailed/AITP/Edition, Rotors will be for sale after edition

 

[A3_Black_Edition]

Would love them but think they will be out of my price range. Plus I would cry if kerb those bad boys!!

 

[rOb_A]

don't sell them N8 lad, they look top banana your SB

 

[N8]

They'll be replaced with something better and of course I have to sell them, it was only a matter of time

 

[rOb_A]

im intrigued to what's next, you willing to tell ?
still hoping to catch up with you, hopefully when nhn can sort my stuff out

 

[N8]

I have a few ideas in mind, but it'll be another set of TDs for winter, that's for sure.

 

[rOb_A]

sure they'll be epic me thinks you have an eye for detail lad.
some great cars on here, make BE look like a rep-mobile but still early days, not long paid for it so, saving the £££ for a bit but still pleased with the hibachi's
