I fitted my strut brace last weekend, haven't thought to look at it thinking it was fine. Just had a look to see how it was doing, and it's poo... the bonnet lining has been sitting on the strut brace, which has now meant that the strut has 3 marks on it... So... I tried it with the lining...

Thanks Bradley! See you soon!!!!!

But everyone does that... Keeping this one as it is! Most of the work is down to superfastdan - he was the previous owner! All i've done is the yellow bits!

nah you dont! it'll be fine....

In Fleet/Church Crookham now... Haven't got round to changing that yet! Where are you then?

Yep, was a 1:4 i think, mental! Wasn't fun when the little 1400's had to go back up it after lunch!

ph2 rears are heavier... lol needs a good claying and a PC job though.. maybe when i have more time!

I need a proper sunny day for the wheels to stand out. There shiney black, and where i took the photos didn't have the best light...

Afternoon all, I've had a busy week, been painting calipers, making custom badges, painting strut braces and the engine... Haven't got pics of the engine bay at the moment, but it's very, very yellow. This is the beast so far! What d'ya think?

At the moment all I have is this: More will be up tomorrow, after i've given her a good seeing to (clean)

It was sized to scale, so that's how the original looked. Looks better up close.. it was getting a bit dark when i took the photo... Mixed reactions, exactly what I was expecting!

Afternoon everyone, been far to busy sanding, priming, painting, more painting, and laquering over the past 3 days. Here's the result: They started off a 1.2 badges. I've also been painting the brakes, engine, strut braces (fitted as well), and fitted a cup splitter (poorly) I...

You fat git Dan! Getting mine under a ton shouldn't be too hard!

My mate is Chris, the guy who has the 197 on long term test, and works for Auto Express. I'll email him this, he'll be dead chuffed his 197 get a mention on here! Apparantly it gives him a bigger smile than the Evo he had on long term test last year!

woohoo, i'm in!

Presuming your a 17-19 year old yeah Poc? Everyone goes through this stage, then when there 20ish they realise what they did to thier 1.2 was a complete waste of time/money. Doing something like that to your car will make it even harder to sell when you want to upgrade. Put your hard...

That looks mint! Thanks for the PM about the samcos too!! How did you get that sooooo shiney?

I like the idea of just chrome and black, i might give that a go!

Ignore the elbow for now.. that can change. Might get an enclosed IK in the spring anyway! Yellow strut, polish fuel rail, writing and plenum (that is the the 4 pipey bits, isn't it?) then yellow top! Similar to your original plans Dan!

But i don't like red - lol! I've got a week off soon, and need something to do!

I need some inspiration. Currently mine's red with a black cover. I want to keep the black, but ditch the red. Thinking shine up the RS logo to chrome-ish with yellow behind that. Then shine up the plunum and fuel rail to chrome-ish. Any ideas or pics to inspire me would be great...

Haven't started yet, i've only had it a week! lol Dont wanna fit buckets, as i've done that before, and couldn't do without the comfort these days. Back seats i will lose at some point, and the boot floor probably, and the spare wheel. Hmmm, i'll do it somepoint and weigh it all!

How how how?

Sweet as, cheers matey! Now I can give facts to my mate as to why mine is faster than his. All i've got to do is lose 59kgs to reach my target.
