a euro car = low wide wheels and smooth with lots of little details

its nearly imppossible to pull off the euro look on a budget, been there tried it and it doesnt happen which is why ime working more overtime than you can shake a stick at currently

dont take this as a 'diss' to your car and you havn't even budget for wheels which for anything special your looking at easily £500 plus

sorry mate, just gotta agree with what everyone has said, the big money isnt really in the things that you have bought, it gets expensive when you need things painting and wheels etc,
im sorry but the term, you pay peanuts you get monkeys is actually true!

i'm really interested in this project, although i think it's gonna be tricky to do it on the cheap. Are you going to do any painting yourself? (smooth bumpers etc?) Any ideas on wheels yet mate?

unless you go for banded steels I think you’ll have trouble doing everything relatively cheap… (still looking at £300+ even for banded steels mate )

EDIT: ^^ that said, good luck mate!

Agree with the above unfortunatly. but very intrested to see your project and fair play. Will the bodywork be smoothed?, and any ideas on wheels yet?

And there aint really any cheap cheap euro wheels, unless you go for second hand. and banded steelies are £400 to be made (not including tyres,steelies itself)

Yea, I know, I am going to do all the prep work for the spraying, and I work in Halfords so I can order in enough paint, and trade prices.
