Geez you got a low enough sunstrip?? lol The car looks crazy man. hehehe

[jaxx]

very nice!

im liking that!

[97paseo]

Thats mad!

[Crisis]

That rocks! At last a car using the K-19 bodykit. Im loving it.

One question that came up early on another topic about this kit, is the exhaust. Does this body kit fit with a standard exhaust on? Apparently it gets in the way.

Before you ask, why would you want a standard exhaust with a car looking like that, its just I was thinking get the body kit, then a dual exhuast to fit into either side of the back valance of the bodykit.

Anywayz looking nice, and certainly one hell of a funky bonnet.

I gotta be honest with you here, it's a LITTLE too boy racer for my likings :!Removed!:

But nice anyway....

[Crisis]

Yeh but nothing wrong with that really. :P

[kenc]

Yeh but nothing wrong with that really. :P

True, but it reminds me too much of chav scum so it's likely I wouldn't even look at it.

But maybe it's the colour......now if it was in black

I'll shut up whilst I'm ahead

[Yarisboy]

not my cup of tea i'm afraid, alot of effort gone in to it though

get it turbo'd so it can back up the agressive kit.

[starletsr]

is the car dirty or is the paint on it not shiney??

[Chappers]

is the car dirty or is the paint on it not shiney??

I think cos it's parked in the shade down a lane.... maybe :P

[starletsr]

THe paint job looks MATT finished... maybe not

same ere, but all to their own..

[yaris-on-18's]

right em im dont know if kit gets in way of the std exhaust as it didnt last long enuf to see the kit and its not a matt finish on the paint its just cause of where the pic was taken ill put some better pics up during the week.

[MillzE]

Looks great

Was thinking about getting the k19 skirts, were they easy to put on??

Also how've you meshed the front grill? Did you just put mesh over the existing plastic one?

[yaris-on-18's]

not too bad to fit done whole kit in a day. as for the grille what i done was hammered mesh around the std grille to get it into shape then removed standard grille from mesh and swiftly burned it then put the mesh one in its place.

Was your new exhaust in a good place for it then? Just wondering cause I would get an exhaust before the kit, as long as when I got the kit it would go into the right place. I guess chances are it would.

[Radtoy]

Cant make my mind up on this one!

One thing i would not have done is the grille, would look loads better with a standard chrome or T sport job.

Blending the rear bumper into the rear quarters is risky, my mate paid hundreds to have his saxo done and it all cracked with the slightest tap on the kerb

i've always liked that Rover colour, best thing about them old 216 coupes!

[Nizan]

i like the car somthing different,

not quite my cup of tea but hey the whole point in modding is making a car how YOU want it.

So enjoy and keep up the good work.

[dumped echo]

yo i'm really interestied in the paint job...not purple as such

but i was wondering how hard it was to do a respray yourself...

did u take a course and hafta get a special compressor and tools n stuff?

[Robie]

Nice work , would love to see the 18's though

[jaxx]

painting a car is not as easy as you think!

go spend a day with a proper respray shop and youll soon get the idea of how much time, effort and equipment is used in the process!

[Nizan]

please please please......dont cut any corners on painting your Yaris

Even the pros get i wrong at times, you would probably save more in the long run if you pay a GOOD bodyshop to do it, then if they do make a mistake they have to sort it not you and not to mention the overall quality will be much better than if you do it your self

[Fidgits]

I gotta be honest here...

I cant make my mind up, the car for me is see-sawing between great show car, and max muppet disaster..

I guess it all depends which way it goes.. e.g. are they really neon washer jets, and silly spot lights?

[jaxx]

TBH i think it will look better in the flesh

pics never do justice to anything
