johnnyfive Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 +1 for grill black I think perhaps, and non grey bumper. Ill be round soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Also make it lower haha Once the 1u is in there/it has to get a cert, I will drop it some more, at the moment I cant go any lower because the body of the front shocks are too long. Mr Bell, I've seen a 2wd one with blacked out grill and bumper and it looked not bad, so may very well go that way. Bumble bee spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddley Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I was gona bust in here and say the same as Spanker. Get some chrome wheel trim and that'll balance it out awesomely. How hard would it be to get a second grill and bumper? Paint that black and you can mix it up now and again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 hey, another 2c... i've always thought it a little weird to have whitewalls/trims/flash caps etc on something as commercial spec as a flatbed, they can look a bit busy for such a basic car and yeh black grille and bumper etc to match/tie it all together. any thoughts on chopping the roll bar/ladder support off?

Yeh, I dont want it too flashey, but I have the caps, and I think they look ok, so will roll them like a chump. I think i'll leave the bar thing on purely for handyness, I use it all the time for carting shit around. The front lifted lux with spotties on roof looks dope IMO Keltic now owns that, roof spots are horrid irl tbh imo, they are plastic chrome, ewwwwww. I vote remove them all! (fronts are already gone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hang the fuck on here Grumbles. Whats all this shit about this not happening any more?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yeh, I feel like a fucking huge git/loser, but I near on had a mental melt down over some vehicle related stuff a few days ago, and decided I need to concentrate on one project at a time, so im doing nothing but 86 shit until its finished. Also im too lanky for the ute, its fucked my left leg/groin strained hard cone, which sucks as I fucking love that thing. House also needs a fair bit of work, so need to get stuck into that. So basically I fail hard, and dont have the time/drive/space to do all the shit I wanted to do, and have had a semi rage quit/mid lyfe crisis lyfe? lols.

kpr Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Rite, seeing as the Hilux project has been canned, this is no longer needed by me, everyone needs a kp starlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
