Dannys Build Thread - Hartlepool Build

2 Jun 2013, 2:05pm
Cheers guys, I like the X3 1's, Just need to find a set in amber!

What about the headlights?

Just had an email back from euro spared informing me that they no longer stock the genuine front grill! Any 1 got any ideas? My kit will have the original front end with the smaller grill and fog lights.

And still stuck on the headlights.....

Maybe an alternative

I do like them but they seem a bit steep, as I think you only get 1 for the 22euros ?

Mine is a MK 2 Mondeo ST mesh coupled with a Mondeo MK 2 chrome surround and a horse badge from Ebay, or you could try chicken wire, chris posted this on my build, its a genuine GTO.

My front end wont have the shape or the space for the mondeo grill as my kit is going to have the original front with the smaller genuine grill space and the space either side for the square headlights.

Not the chicken wire then, don't blame you.

this is the problem I'l have with the mondeo grill...

no problem,
cut out a piece and welded the new grill. Then you can paint the new Grill after filling and sanding.

think this is going to be my only option, I'm home soon so I can start to have a play about with it. I may have to trim the sides down as well to get rid of the 'over oval' part if you know what I mean!

on the plus side, I've just had a phone call to say my seats are ready to be collected! :thumb: I'll get a pic uploaded when I collect them.

Danny can you give me a bell mate?
15 Jun 2013, 1:30pm
Just been and picked my seats up, very impressed with the quality....

Danny they look amazing! Who did the trimming work done? I need some retrimming on my lotus

The rehopolsty centre in hartlepool. Bargain i thought at £100 per seat.
16 Jun 2013, 7:42am
wow
great work.
I like it:smile:
16 Jun 2013, 1:55pm
Looks great and they were a bargain.
18 Jun 2013, 12:45pm
I recovered my seats with an aftermarket kit. Not exaggerating when I say it took 3 hours per seat to strip and rebuild.
£100 per seat is great value.
