Wow. Hmmmm. m444ssy, are those really Porsche calipers? If so how do they fit? Where did you get them from? I really like your grey headlights apposed to the black out theme.

Whoa, mate, you sure worked hard on that interior You relocated lots of things! Good job, maybe a bit too complicated for my taste, but one has to appreciate the extent of the work done

Yes they are porsche calipers, i bought the kit second hand off of a friend then i've had them split down and painted and plated everything to match the theme.

Thats fine i can understand its a bit wild ha ha but i have gone for a pure sq setup the subs in the back are a gimmick for other clients to relate to. All will become clear in the following months over winter fingers crossed.

Yup if you look on my site www.plush-automotive.com i've been there and done the classy practical theme it was great but as a demo car purpose no one ever remebered it the theory behind this is love it or hate you'll talk about it. As long as the quality of work wasn't questioned i can live with people hating the colour. Its the colours that make that initial impact and make you want to look at the car .

I can totally agree though that not many mini drivers if any would ever want to do something like this but if this can be achieved then basically anything can whether it be a basic trim or an oem factory audio upgrade.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Did you have to do any special modding for the Porsche calipers?

I envision heated debate when this thread starts.

"I Hate It', "I like It", "It's your car do what you want", "You pissed me off in another thread so now I'm putting you in this one." and so on and so on.
Could make for a nice new drama thread though.

m444ssy - what do you need to do for the custom silicon hoses? Is there a paint that will work on them?

Not yet there isnt. But there may be one or two cars that could fall into it...

EDIT: Scrap the photo, just check out the link.

PS. It was on the "Im a ricer" topic, but suits here as well.
