need paint!!!!!!!

 

Love it mate! xr2's are quality

 

im very nearly there the engines in and looks pretty good and i had a stainless steel custom exhaust made up by www.pipecraft.biz which looks pretty good and only cost Ł300 which i dont think is that bad.

engine all dressed up and plumbed in just 1 fuel leek to sort out


the exhaust

im going for a sleeper look so tried to keep the exhaust looking standard

 

they made the side exit on my fez as well but a mate works next door so i payed Ł130 shit hot work

 

Im thinking you've got a zetec turbo if you have they told me about your car

 

Thats a stealth looking exhaust mate! good work

 

i had an mercury grey xr2 just like that on a D plate untill some fooker thought they would have it without paying i was the 2nd owner too was a propper little minter, was the best colour for me untill this happened

id have to have a black one next, keep the updates coming as that looks tobe a menace

 

what bore is the system you've had made?

 

2"

He said thats all i would need with 1 box and no turbo and i wanted it to look inocent lol

 

Looking good mate


Brian

Nice Conversion there M8 that's gonna shock a few

 

its all mot'd taxed and insured. still need paint but its more fun when people think its a pile of crap lol.
