lol. Picked up a bargin 4 Michelin Pilots off ebay yesterday, all brand spankers :cool: All x4 Conti 3's on my Silver set of alloys are near the limit, so it was time to get the new boots on for Winter. Rather than replace the conti's, i had another spare set of 197 alloys refurbed a few months...
Nipped out to take a few snaps of the motor in the sun :) Gave it a going over yesterday, wash, clay, wash, SRP, then x2 EPG. Was going to throw a layer of Collinites over it, but ran out of time :( Anyhoo, cars done around 60 miles or so since cleaned, so not 100% clean now lol...
Today around 16:00 ish, near Broxton, Cheshire. Tell you they look awesome on the road, i forget how muscular they are, i only see the interior lol :cool:
This dude off here
(typre r driver?)
Strange Cup that, 182 alloys, non Renault washer jets, no splitter etc, non Cup spoiler......? Looked clean though :)
OOoh good couple. I was @ TGI Fridays with the lady around 8ish. I was parked behind a Silver 172 (poss iceburg?) 02/52 plate cant remember. Had a CS sticker in back window. Then when i left a few hrs later a Red 08 plate 197 was there, parked next to a Mini, Xenons etc Nice
:cool:
Picked these up yesterday from Top Marques in Stoke. They came recommended by Mido and Makavalli :) Awesome price (£45 a corner) and were turned round in a day. These were my knackered spare set of alloys, flaking paint, curbed etc. Came up a treat :)
Still have my Silver set, so...
Not for the pc brigade lol. Added some HID's to the car today. The light clusters i have are the same as the Xenon units, having space for the Renault ballasts under the clusters, and the projector beam. Fitted 600k lamps, which are not massively different to the standard Xenons fitted to the...
Reet gays ;)
looking at some spacers for the 197 (yes been talked into it) Now i want a branded set, eg H&R/ebaich fk etc etc. Looking at 15mm or so, but cant find any online. I believe the size is 5x108 PCD???
Any help chaps/chapess's
Gave the 197 a PC the other week, but never got any pics :( So washed it tonight, quick wax (petes 53) and deatil and a few pics......
Enjoy :cool:
Sparkle sparkle :cool:
Done for now, going to source another 2 alloys (have two already) for a...
Then it rained. :( I want to give it a quick once over with some wax tomorrow night after work. So question is, do i need to rewash it tomorrow before waxing, or will a spritz of QD and a microfibre suffice??!!!!
Thought i'd do a little write up of the bits ive done to the 197 sice i got it in Jan this year.
So here it is in the compound at the garage i bought it from. Standard as you like, little rough round the edges ;)
First jobs were to debage the C L I O badge off the boot, and silver...
Been on a bit of a treck today with the GF around North Wales. As she brought her camera, it gave me an excuse to stretch the 197's legs around the awsome A5!!!:evil: Stopped off at the Tryweryn Reservoir to stretch my legs lol, and take some pics :approve:
Got to love...
Today, not sure if it was a Cup or FF, but it was cup chassied with Anthricite alloys. Also had rear Cup spoiler. Around 13.15, at Coatbrook. I was working at the Fox and Barrell. Tastey :cool:
Second Flame Red today!!! About 15 mins after i spotted Flame R, i spotted you boyo'd up at Whitchurch by the Esso roundabout heading towards Wrexham!!! Off to Tweeks?? I was undercover in a works van lol
Going like a c**t ;) I met you down the 41. Think you were leaving Birchdown. Looks fooking mint mate!!!:cool: Xenons stuntin lol. I was in a works van so was undercover ;)
Bit of a project lol. Bought the car in Jan, gave it a good going over, dents paint etc. Then came to first car wash........ this happened :(
All 4 wheels had been 'refurbished' it seems before i bought it, hense no curbing etc. When i first got the car, the wheels were spot on...
Quick one lol.
Giving x2 wheels a refurb in the not too distant future lol. As they've had a previous blow over, they are peeling slightly in some areas. I've got some proper Wurth wheel paint that looks spot on colour match wise so thats ok. So i need some advise in the prep/spraying. Firstly...
As said, looking for a good wax for my Albi Blue 197. i have some Pete's 53 from the BG 182 ownership days. I've not tried it on the 197, i was under the impression that 53 was more suited to blacks??? BTW Albi is pretty similar to Mondial (ish) If your not sure how dark it is.
Fire...
LOL, on my rounds at work today around 12.45-13.30 and spotted 3 lol. Black 182 (standard) in the Macdonalds carpark. Then x2 Infernos!! These were spotted by KFC, i followed one with a private plate and cliosport sticker in the back window., had a private Reg, i think it started K50 *** iirc
I might be being a total nob here, but i have a problem with my lap top :( For some reason when i press shift 3 for eg a pound sign, it comes up with a hash? :( Same with loads of other keys not being whats wrote on them (when shift key is pressed) Now, have i just changed something, like a hot...
Few, and i mean a few sneaky pics ;) of the H&R's we fitted yesterday!!! Big thanks to steve (birchdown auto) for fitment, i assisted lol!
I have loooads of pics, before, during fitting, and after shots. I'll post up a proper thread around easter time. I'm going to be painting the...
