Save pming everyone just thought i'd put up a thread. Also good to give a few people ideas on badge colours etc.
Few pics before i send everything off. Everything is pre polished/waxed so should be even smoother when they go off :D
really not worth the effort, you can spend 1000's and barely get over 100 bhp out of one. If you want a better drive concentrate on things like a good airfilter, sportscat and exhaust
just use normal cellulose from halfords, clean it with normal soapy water and that should do :)
as for 172 engine covers, if you give me 35 quid i'll do it for you ;)
not necessarily. depends on the colour you do them in.
as for the original post, personally i wouldnt change the colour of them, but if you do change it then i'd not get them sprayed, but get them powdercoated instead. its quicker (1day), lasts longer, is a more guaranteed finish and...
he can take the stickers off if he wants, graphics place messed me around a lot and rushed them, and tbh for the prices i charge couldnt afford to get the redone. Tbh i prefer the cover without the decals too...
i'm working saturday and then off to the hillclimb event on the sunday, with my freshly repaired car (all being well :approve:)
side badges took a lot of effort as someone had previously ruined them ;)
lupo gtis worth hell of a lot more than a clio though! even though the cosmetics arent bad as fred said anything could be wrong underneath. Nomatter how bad the wing etc is, it all needs replacing which is where the cost comes in
dunno, cos in realy life the wheels look anthracite not black so it kinda clashed if you know what i mean. Will look better when the other bits are done

wasnt new it was second hand so worth about 6.5 grand, dont think it was categorized anyway but nethertheless should still inform me.
yeah its medicis car now
my old dynamique was blatently a catagory of some sort, when i bought the car it came without the billabong decals so asked the question, and got a reponse of no sir its neevr been crashed. Anyway the old owner came in work as he noticed the car outside and was told it was crashed on a main duel...
you could but imo you'd have to change all teh carpets, get doorcards retrimmed etc as well due to it being black not blue and therefore not matching anything in the car
think they're roughly around the 70 quid mark? As said dont expect any gains, but then unless your spending 300 quid on a maxogen you wont get any anyway, so just be happy you've got the noise value and they look mint also.
