Slight update, also got some rear seats to come to match the front 172 ones i bought although i have not put them in yet.
Got the silver coloured bulbs for the front and back, got a new number plate for the front which is the smaller one to fit into the gap. Got some fresh cliosport.net...
I'll give it a go.
Here are the marks, i cannot afford to get them done professionaly but i have spray (well will have once i order some more!) and a touch up pen.
What do you suggest, i will give the above a go with the megs stuff but want to try and mask them the best i can.
I did...
Meadowhall is not tooo bad, about 200 i would say (so yeah bad) when i left at 8.10am for the apple store for non-reservations and around 50 for the reservations. 15ish at the o2 store and hardly any at orange.
Got there for 3.50am where there was about 40 people in front of me. at 6.30...
I need to paint my dash strips, getting a 172 half leather interior, what colour do you suggest i spray them? Anthracite looks a common one, would also do my bullets in this colour too.
My gear knob would also be done, i will get the number strip and lacquer over it to give it a good finish...
Well, currently doing up my dymanique and the body is in quite a bad condition. Don't have the money to get parts resprayed and so on so wanting to do the best i have.
For the swirl marks i plan to get some mags scratch-x along with a buffer pad attached to a drill fitting i have. What do you...
Bought some front 172 seats today from a member on here that will be fitted when the outside is done.
My spray paint has come today so i will get some wet and dry and start colour coding the side strips & waiting for the door handles.
Thats it for now :)
Got an RS grill today thanks to a member on here! not fitting it yet though, i feel sorry for harrats as the part is still getting ordered in for me to be here tomorrow :(.
Anywayyy. I have that and have the skoda splitter. I have some detailing stuff to come through, such as clay. I also...
Anyone know which the paint code is? Need to order off a website but not sure what to put in the information boxes so they know what colour to make.
Cheers
Well i my friend is selling some new seats out of his 1.2 standard but for pretty cheap and in very good condition, i'm quite interested in them but the drivers side has no air bag, it had been deployed but had the repair back on the seat but does not have an airbag.
I take it it's illegal...
Got it from Harrats Wakefield, couldn't find a place any closer to me that do them, may have another look though, i don't have to buy it he only has my name and number.
I'll have a look at the light, im pretty sure everythings working on it just the cracked cover.
In fact, i can squeeze a little more out of it, need some dust caps, any suggestions, just plain plastic ones or some black metal ones - ebay
The bulbs, need to check if the ones i have will fit my new one as they did not fit my old one as the fittings that were on my extreme were offset.
Ordered a grill today £56! :O
Ordered a skoda splitter, don't even know if i actually need it but for £10 im going to get it any way.
Going to order the paint later on when i find the colour from the door panel
Need to see if both my brand new spare wheels are the same size as the alloys...
Re: Possible new splitter found!!
Just ordered one from D M Keith Ltd (Huddersfield). Didn't say how many was left but there was plenty in stock, going to pick it up tomorrow.
Got it sorted friday, went to a guy a family friend new, he went through everything he could plugging it into a few different machines, found out it was the ignition leads, as he is mobile the garage he happened to be working at that day had one in, swapped it round and it ran nice and smooth...
Not sure which dealers to go to round my end, even Harrats is quite some distance away from me.
Not sure about colour coding, i like the look but i cant stop thinking what the handles and bump strips would look like in pearl black along with the tinted back windows?
Also, where would be the...
Well, after writing my poor little extreme off i found a decent 1.2 54' Dynamique.
After any tips on what i should do with it, anything really. I am only a student so cannot go spending lots, although i do hope to eventually lower it.
1.The door handles and side strips are black at the...
Well, its taken me a week to sort it out and get the a picture but got my 1.2 Dynamique last weekend. 54' 39k.
Posted a thread in projects as i plan to do little bits just to improve it as and when i can.
Nothing special but i like it :)
Well, some may have seen my thread about my engine not running right. Bought the car over the weekend and noticed that it was not running smooth, it is very jerky when giving power, it is drivable but not comfortable to, especially when changing gear and going round corners etc.. The engine...
I had the little engine light come on in the right hand side at the bottom next to the speedo, It hasn't come on since i topped up the engine coolant as it was very low but the engine is not running right still, shakes a lot when giving power and stood idle, the car drives but its not...
