Nice, but the SD1 lamps really let the side down.

I thought they let the back down

Rauh Welt annoy me endlessly. All that money, thrown into enormous, DTM-esque bodywork and 13" wide lightweight wheels, and literally none of them have a single engine modification. In fact, most are based on the lowest-spec models and are therefore no more impressive than a Saxo with a gargantuan body kit. True, they look better, but they're still the automotive equivalent of getting a penis enlargement when both impotent and suffering from permanent erectile dysfunction.

I thought they did engine work on a customers car if they wished also though?

I have visited them and the previous post is tosh.

The Stella demo car has extensive engine modifications along with roll cage and complex race bred suspension. From memory the engine had six individual throttle bodies for example.

The level of each of the customers' car seemed to only be limited by its intended use or budget.

The one thing I hate is silver mesh. On very rare occasions does it look good. When was the last time you saw a OEM car with silver mesh? So many modififed teenage hatchbacks have it an it just doesn't do it ant favours.

The chucker plate mats were a quick fix at the time as the rubber mats were all broken & i was a lot younger lol. I gave them all away when the car was changed.

Inside looks like this now:


Then added the German Nurburgring flag:

Taken from the winter tyres thread, car belongs to AcidReflux and all that has been done is to put steelies on, but am I the only one who thinks these look cracking with black steelies?

My TR7v8 (the way BL should have built them)
1 of only 330 (I think) Grinnal conversions, they added the wide
arches and sills,(all metal) replaced rear lights with SD1 lights, fitted
power steering and a Rover 3.5 v8.
Grinnall now modify and make there own trikes http://www.grinnallcars.com/

I have changed the engine to a 4.0ltr v8 from a chimaera and added fuel injection, front
brakes are 310mm drilled vented discs with brembo callipers, rears converted from drums to
discs, 280mm drilled groved and vented with cosworth callipers. Wheels are 17" BMW multi-spokes
from a 5 series, axle is standard but has a Quaife lsd fitted. Suspension has been changed to
adjustable coilovers all round, exhaust is a full stainless one 4-2-1 with only one box on the rear.

Nope it takes it back to it's cheap origins.

Steel wheels look good on a few cars, I'd rather have the five spoke things you can get on some Fords and Vauxhalls than their alloys (especially the Ford ones that buckle as soon as you go over a speed bump).
