My Liquid Yellow 200 Cup FF



  LY 200 cup full fat
Hi all just thought would start a thread on my 200. Bought from Ron Hodgson Specialist cars back in May. Had the belts and water pump changed at dealers and also two new front shockers.Will use this thread to list all the upgrades that i do.
Next hope to get wheels refurbed and some H&R springs.
Some of pics listed on new members section but new ones added on here.

No i don't like those wheels either but only £80 to have them all refurbed at work so will put me on as they look s**t at the moment,just look like they have been done with a rattle can.

Thanks for your comments guys, Bit more info on the car,Scorpion straight through exhaust (bit loud) but never mind,ITG panel filter and remapped only getting max 23mpg, Also told only to run on optimax which i did anyway.

23 thats harsh! I moan if the 182 doesn't do 35, and I run on tesco 99 which is 10p/litre cheaper than optimax round here. Thats the price you pay to drag that fat arse around though.

Lovely car mate and I was going to view it myself as it was a very good price but you obviously got to it before me.
I think the car has lowering springs on it anyhow looking at the stance. Have a look underneath and check.
And yes mid 20's in these are not far off the mark, they're are shocking compared to the 182 😧

Like that. Not into the wind deflectors but great otherwise. Colour, spoiler, seats, got all the right bits!

Very good liquid yellows are anything up to 10.5k. But do start at 7.5k but generally are the lower spec, high mileage, needing work etc.

A coat of GARDX on the wheels complete with nut covers looks even better.

Touch up looks great. Very handy when you can do personal jobs at work!
Apologies mate I furor to add you to the Yorkshire list, we've a last minute mini meet on Saturday if you fancy. See the Yorkshire section for details, I can't link it on my phone.

Must come in very handy!

We have a little spray booth in work but it's not big or equipped enough to do anything decent in it 😧
Lucky enough to have 5 big booths working all day comes in handy sometimes
still have to pay a reduced labour rate but hey you can't have everything

Mpg doesn’t really matter when it looks so good and is that much fun to drive
This is true boultonn, drives great and looks great,Took a mate home the other day Who's got an Astra vxr went round a roundabout and was waiting for me to lift off the pedal,
Said he wouldn't do that in his car he couldn't believe how it handles.
