Richierich's VR6........new frontage!


Recommended Posts

Unusual to store in the summer n use in the winter! Lol

Looks awesome tho! How much did the spray job set u back.... If u don't mind me asking ;-)

ha ha cheers dude...............thats what most people say, this is used as a winter car to preserve my splittie for the better weather months!

as for my paintwork............... inc the new wings, all material and labour i think it was around £900 which i thought was superb! it transformed the overall look imo.

its going back in for more paint when i get the new front end so will post up the new look as it develops! (h)

LOL .... you make me laugh...

If the Split wasnt enough and you're selling the rallye (if my memory is still working right)... so as you're bored and only still only doing bits on the "other Projects" you find time to pop down the lock up and do this to the VR6....

LOL :D

I Like your work and your style mate..... looking forward to a bit of a photo session to follow once you resolve the ride hide... ;)
