Panda (Classic) Grumbleweed

[firstcar-Y10]

Grumbleweed was looking well Seemed to be going well from that screech of tires I heard in Cupar

Thanks, you heard that eh, more a lack of front end grip than tyre shredding power I think, and it was quite a small gap..

Loving them wheels, what are those ones..?

Thanks. Only went back on at the last minute (like 7am on Sunday morning) due to clearance issues on the back bolts with the others. Still no idea where they're from. made by FPS apparently: http://www.autobelle.it/annunci/dettid.php?gb_id=125019

Well this should help with that high speed stability (probably)


.....I'm such a chav

Looks a bit like an AX GT spoiler.

Think it is, was advertised as an 'aftermarket Renault 5 spoiler' but AX spoilers seem to be a fairly common mod on them too. No brackets though so it's attached from the ends.

And a useful handle to hold when you're pushing it.

I like it really Andrew really suits the look of Grumbleweed , just stop before you get to side skirts.

:chin:hmmmmm....side skirts
Always wondered if you could persuade those little black lips off the mk1 punto sporting on...

Just trying this for size, what do you think?

Nice. Different to the other ones for the Panda. Where did you get that?

 

[purple haze]

Errrrr...yeah....where is it from....



Oh and I like it too..

Wiring needs tidying

I can't make my mind up Andrew, can you show a pic of the whole car?

Can't say i like it tbh, personally think its ruins the front end completely. Its not that I don't like the thing itself, its very cool in fact, but don't think it goes with the look of Grumbleweed myself.

It's actually a trimmed down Tipo grille. I'm not sure, I do quite like it but I think it looks odd with the little oval ones in the bumper, needs to be one or the other really I reckon. MOT today so I'll deal with that first.

Good luck matey.

I was thinking the same...for me I would ditch the small round ones.

problem is the matching small oval holes in the bumper, I would have to resort to my very last spare bumper

MOT passed, the old lad even cruised through the emissions without any extra persuasion which I was pleasantly surprised at (anyone who heard the tickover at Stanford will understand) so still looking healthy.

Well if you're being picky it's also dangling off the front end by means of a tie wrap in that pic.
Could only get a photo of the very front due to grumbleweed being tucked nose into the garage and it chucking down outside

Agreed, but then again they're part of grumbleweed IMO.

Congrats on the mot Andrew

Could you replace the round lights with rectangular ones, then you can keep the same bumper but open up the holes.

 

[purple haze]

Cut the holes into slots and put mesh behind?? Or leave as holes with mesh??

Or put tube into the holes and direct the tube on to the brake calipers for cooling....ok, that one was a joke...
