      Post Project M33 EVL !!

      just starting this new topic rather than me posting a million new things.. just gonna keep it all in once place..

      first thing regretidly im not going for the VXR swap now as ive made plans to get my car on the road by the end of this year..

      ive made plans to now build my own hyper/super car sounds dumb and stupid but im going all out.. buuld her from ground up.. planning to start this soon as i finish my kalos which should be around December latest..

      soo instead im just going to add a small turbo to to my kalos... and do a auto to manual gearbox conversion.

      besides that all the exterior and interior mods will remain...

      possibly will go with the bigger brake upgrades... like xiogary did.. minimum bigger front brakes...

      wont make my bonnet out of fiberglass and carbon fiber as im not going for great speed... just going to shape up my current metal bonnet and skin it with carbon fiber...

      this will end up being my daily day to day car and also possibly show car if looks good enough lol!

Size:  94.7 KB new interior set up in my new kalos (this is a rebuilt m33 evl) those that remember my gearbox went and was an auto.. worked out cheaper to buy another kalos than sourcing out another gearbox and getting it fitted.. lol

      Petrified.rabbit....
      i did it . I called hr engineering.... After allthis time lol

      They quoted me roughly £4.5-£5k 2-2.5 for the rwd setup and another 2 for the engine inc suspension setup. for a rear wheel conversion and all engine work plus suspension set up they supply all parts apart from engine, gearbox, loom n ecu.. But everything else they will fabricate and sort out....

      One of those moments i wish i never did something....

      This could be my dream come true...

      But thats a shiiiiiiit load of money... :/

      Anyone want to donate £4,5000 LOOOLLL

      I think the sunroof looks great. However, I'm really not a fan of hood vents.

      @Daox: i think it looks ncie all smooth as well, but i thought id give it a bit of something as my other bonnet had alot going on to so seemed a bit odd without any vents or anything.


      heres the latest... going for the matt black finish its the first coat on one side...

      THE END! :( well of the outside anyway...

      and now the outside is ... well pretty much done... few more coats of paint.. lacquer and tidy up the alloys..

      p.s im keeping away from lambo doors for now... their more headache than they are worth... well for a daily driver they are anyway...

      may re-visit that in the future..

      i definitely love the widebody and sunroof, plus flat black is the best color for ANYTHING. those hoodvents though... ouch. gotta clean those up some. hell of a project you got going here, definitely pumped to see the progression continue.
