And how it all happened, video - Renault 19 lefty loosy:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 4869269976

Past plans and ideas for styling, maybe 3, 4 years ago, but Ill never do it for sure, just a thought:
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/124/8aqp1.jpg

A year ago this was my project, removing the Renault sign from the front mask:
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/1960/img2662ua2.jpg
http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/2360/img2705lj0.jpg

Rear 16V spoiler removed, I like the look without it, maybe Ill make a new one in a future:
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/1917/img2698mr6.jpg

While I was making front debadged mask, I had a nonserious accident but luckily I had no damage on a car, because I hit a guy in a Golf 3 GTI with my right front which was already damaged  Literally, my damage is only the smallest plastic strip on a front wing. Besides that, right front bumper carrier broke but I glued it back with a bit of melting a plastic and then fiberglassing it. The biggest problem was that I was guilty and I paid around 600eur for a damage on a stupid Golf. His left wheel gone 10 degrees inside and his bumper, wing and hub also broke. I couldnt believe when I saw that car. It was in a perfect shape beside that front left part I smashed. That damage put me out from styling from over 4 or 5 months because that amount of money is enough for my style of living in Serbia for 3 or 4 months. F..kin sh..t, what else could I say. Another lucky thing is that then I had my winter wheels on. They were ok, but his alloy wheel bended. If I had my Borbets then Ill be still crying now I guess. Problem was in doors that I hit again and I couldnt open them more than half way. Yeah, also my sideskirt cracked a little but I glued it also without problems. Two months ago I finally had money and bought both right doors, of course secondhand, all parts from all 4 doors, all with glass, front wing, all together for 70eur 

Thats ENOUGH from me for today, theres a lot explanations, small fiberglass projects and pictures I got but I did all this text now and have to relax for a day or two, when Ill post some more

Greetings to all in Holland, Germany, England where R19 are popular and of course to rest of the people of Europe and wider. By by, Igor from Belgrade, Serbia

It is a pity that you can read Dutch. An open aifilter will reduce the power-output of your car.

Bumpers are still waiting in a basement, but with a reason, I had some sweet torture...
Yesterday I've installed xenons but just for a main lights...
You can see the difference between Osram Cool Blue on the left and 6000K xenons on the right:

And when I installed and turned on both xenons in a dark alley...:

Here it is in a "real-life", you can barely see the high lights when they are turned on with xenon at the same time:

Yesterday I tried a different setup in headlights. You can see the difference between low halogens and high xenons:

Today the weather was great, so I decided to try my rear bumper. It's not nearly done, but I had to try and see how it looks on car. I'm not satisfied yet, the shape is not like it should be. I'll have to curve it, something like a standard bumper ph.2 looksWell, take a look at it:

Here I am again... I was in USA last summer for 6 months and my Chamade stood still, parked in front of my building. When I came back I wanted to sell it, but till now noone wanted it so I am starting (or finishing) it again.

I couldn't do anything with my torsion 'cause it's seized, all rusty... so in a few days I will probably find some good and not much expensive workshop for my car. I will have to change rear arches and probably lower side panels (under the doors) and then I will think about a new colour for my baby

Tires are used and that was only for trying, just for 2 days, now I am on 14" steel rims with winter tires on them
