Hello from Slovakia!

[fuxxo]

Hi guys,

I am from Slovakia, and watching the stanceworks scene a lot of time :-) actually I created with my friend website called euroscene.net, which connects all of the stance lovers in czech republic and slovakia..
but now to cars.. let me introduce my first car, I bought it from my father (it was our first brand new car) and I was working three years on it. it was skoda felicia from 1997. I believe that you guys from usa or other parts of the world doesnt know much about that car.. its very simple car, and here are I beleive most selling car :-D so, I started with few cosmetical changes as new front grille and rear door decent spoiler.. then I bought wheels - keskin kt8 in 15" and racing exhaust.. then I got the wheels refurbished, they got white centers and polished lips and new tyres 195/45 (smallest size I can put on the car, because of cops :-( ). the car was lowered on OMP springs, got down about 5cm. then I went to my friend and we did the vinyl wrapping, it was white matt color, looked awesome, and then I got mounted the lip from golf 3, and got it stickerbombed. the last thing I did was the interior. I made an upholstery on all plastic parts.. so, thats all about my snowflake (that was her nickname :-D ) unfortunately I had to sell the car because of new one which came.. so, onto the pictures:
the car looked like this when I started (but without fog lights and on steel wheels):


and the end version:






















I didnt want to start new thread because of this car, it wasnt that low, so I was waiting for my dream car.. ;-)

and the new car is hereeee :-) I was dreaming about it for two years and half year after I finished the colledge, I finally got it.. it is 2004 bmw E46 touring, facelift version 330d with 204hp and full mpaket. I brought it from germany, and got taken the drivers license for two months because of the care :-D I mean, thats true love :-D :-D so when I bought it it looked totally stock, which I loved, because its for me like empty drawing paper..
in germany:


finally home:




and then, I mad with my friend some upholstery in engine bay..


next step was the coloring vinyl, which came on fog lights and turn lights, red one went on rear lights. I got also some sticker bomb under the hood and the led angel eyes came in, but they were classic 4300k, so I made a little update, and now they are yellow like fog lights, and wrapped kidneys to black vinyl, until I buy black ones.. :-)






and last week came the best thing :-) I bought coilovers, they are TA Technix, I believe its enough for first set, and finally got it lowered.. the m-tech suspension was lowered already from stock (about 2-3 cm) and I got lowered another 4 cm front and 4.5 cm rear.. well and it looks awesome! :-)













of course, the car is in process, there will be a lot of work, but I've got only two words, perfect stance. :-) thats my goal..

Looking forward to more progress. Not a fan of the stickerbombed engine.

Welcome to StanceWorks

I'm curious where this is going... Esp. on wheel choice!
Love the upholstery, not so much on the stickerbombing..
Keep us posted...

[fuxxo]

thanks guys, I see what will be with the stickerbombing.. at the moment it stays, but I will think about something else..

nice touring and pics!

I love the Felicia!! I have a Favorite, but that just sucked!!

Thought you may have stuck with Skoda and gone with a Octavia VRS Estate or something along those lines.

I love the sticker bombing mate, I'm going to be doing that under my engine bay as soon as I get the chance.

fivefourzero: thanks :-)

thanks :-) well, favorite was the step between 120 and felicia :-) but for example I **** fabia, which was the evolution of felicia, I think felicia was the best car that skoda ever made.. :-)

and about the octavia vrs, I bought the felicia from my dad (he bought it new) and so I didnt have chance to choose.. I wanted to buy fiat bravo hgt, or punto hgt, but felicia came in the way, so I go with it.. and I must say I loved the car.. but for the next car, the requirements were a bit higher, and any car from vw group didnt fit.. the most important thing was engine, I wanted 6 cylinder turbodiesel with much power and low fuel consumption, so no skoda here :-) and 3,0 tdi in audi is not that good in anything like 30d from bmw.. its the best engine and I would pay 11000 for audi.. :-D
but I will buy the felicia back

Can't wait to see the BMW, a nice sport touring is always good.

Shame the Felica was so ugly, I like your concept with it.

[fuxxo]

jorge: I love your car :-) I am watching it, since I found stanceworks..
and bmw will have big times :-D there are big plans for it, but now I just have to make some important service things.. its low, and that will be all for a while..

sweet touring. its sad we don't get cool things like e46 330d's here in the usa.

[fuxxo]

thank you :-)

and its sad that we here in europe dont have gas prices like you in usa :-) because I woul much rather drive an 330i.. its just less defective..

hi boyz :-)
got some news.. for my wintersetup I decided to stay with 18", it looks much better, than some 17s.. but I needed to somehow refresh them, so I take plastidip, sprayed two layers and on that next two layers of red spray.. and the result is quite good.. not what I expected, but better, than before :-) my bro made me some pics, I put in a little photoshopin' :













(yes, I know I need spacers, but not necessary now, for winter setup..)
(and no, the license plate lights are not blue, its just photoshopping mistake.. they are bright white :-) )

but now... some more exciting news I was decided for next season to roll 19" X5 style 63 wheels, but then I accidentaly found an advert, that guy is selling a set of wonderful two piece RIAL DAYTONA RACE wheels.. so I really had to buy them instead of X5 (price was nearly the same :-D ) so on 5th or 6th they will be home! so excited!
they are 18x8,5 fronts, 18x9,5 rear, ET35 (I believe both f&r)
after I will have them, they will go for powdercoating, and tyres will be 215/40 front and 225/40 rear.. it should have some nice stretch..
