TBH so do I. Red would look ok but as someone mentioned it would look like a bit of a rip off of Pauls SC ph1! Really chuffed with the paintwork now its out in the sun. Looks absolutly MINT! :D
Refurbed wheels went back on today and I pulled it out of the garage. Coilovers need adjusting a little bit higher as its a bit too low at the front, back seems fine though. Hopefully the panels will be painted and fitted by next weekend (20th&21st).
Heres a few pics:
It's too late now! I'm gunna see how the black looks then Photoshop it when it's all together and if red is the best I will get them re-done. Lol!
No I havnt picked another wheel up yet so I have sent 3 to the powdercoaters and I will have to pop the spare on if I don't get another before...
Well my original plan was red but I like the wheels in black and thought it would break it up nicely! We will see. If I change my mind it doesn't cost alot to get them re-done in red.
My idea is red 2.0 detailing on the bullets, red diamonds (no rear badges) and red dash strips, wheels in...
Cheapest doesn't mean worst!! There's been alot of good write ups on these coilovers, and I have to say I am very impressed with the quality! It's a fast road car and maybe the odd track day so I think these coilovers will suit the car just fine for what I am going to use it for!
Also the...
Wheels will be gloss black. I thought about red but all my detailing is going to be red and I thought red wheels would look too much. Black wheels will break it up nicely IMO!
Heres a little more progress. I have now fitted the coilovers and stonechipped the rear arches and under the boot floor just to make it all fresh and new again. The wheels will be back from the powdercoaters tomorrow so they will be going on and the car can then be rolled out of the garage so I...
How the hell do these fit!! Which part of the old shock do you use? I cant figure it out for the life of me! Can someone tell me the order everything goes on top of the spring?!
Bloody hell they look big for 16"! Look more like 17's! I think they look really smart! DON'T paint them White though on a silver car, just won't look right IMO. They look much better than the standard cup alloys.
Going to fit my raceland coilovers tonight and just wanted a few pics from members who have already fitted them. When you post your pic state how high/low the spring collers are on the shocks.
Much appreciated for pics posted, thanks! :)
Supercharger all the way but I'm biased as I have one, lol. I have been in stevies turbo'd trophy when it was running low boost and the power delivery was very smooth! I can't comment on high boost turbo conversions though as I havnt been in them!
Tbh this thread seems like it's another...
Bloody hell! I've finally got some! Been looking for these for weeks! I've just purcahsed a set off thi link. I had emailed him loads on eBay uk to see if he had anymore but he never replied.
Also my brother has a set of these on his Lupo. There awesome for the money, for a fast road car you...
Yup! There's no need to paint it in a booth, We have dust extraction in our garage which pulls the overspray out and I wet the floor before I paint to eliminate any dust blowing up. Look at the finish after it's polished! Who needs a booth, it's like glass!
Heres the progress made on the car over the last few days.
All masked up ready for primer:

My mate has a megane sport 225 and hes wiring an amp into the car as we speak. He cant find anywhere to feed the wire through the bulkhead! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also what size are the door speakers in the meggy?
Thanks
Mines in my garage stripped at the min and prepped ready to paint! Best of all its cost me £170 for 5l of Glacier white and thats it! Just waiting for the window man to come and whip the windows out as we speak then mask the windows up and away we go! Glacier white supercharged 172, mmmmmm, cant...
I have spoke to the scrapyard they said it's 54mm spacing, I just hope they measured it right!
Yeah the steering arm is quite bent, can you replace just the arm or is it all in one piece with the steering rack?
Stevie, no it's just a coincidence that this happened on the weekend I was...
Thank god for that! I like the White on the r26r and went to buy the paint for my car today, I bought glacier White so I really was hoping the meggy was galcier too!
I have a 2002 PH2 172, this hub is from a local scrapyard, they asked for my reg and this aparently is the part I need. Will this fit my car? Dont want to buy it and find out that it doesnt:
This is my current hub, as you can see its snapped:
