Whats with the front bumper, thing looks like a pig! Oink!

Spotted you today driving around the one way system near Sainsburys.. Had a RenTec sticker in the nearside rear window.. Anyone from off here?

Loving the car Russ, looks in mint condition for that mileage, I guess its just all down to TLC end of the day! Ph1's FTW!

Welcome to CS mate! Get some pics up of the motor! Any ideas on what upgrades/mods your wanting..

Avoid Sky+, the boxes are riddled with bugs, even the newer updated versions, Sky HD is more refined and works perfectly, the new menu update as mentioned is superb.. Have Sky HD, Sky+, BB plus all channels, except Sports and its about £50 a month, not to bad actually! Virgin is ok, but their BB...

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (172 kit plus smoothing) This is going to look the nuts TBH! So looking forward to seeing the colour on.. Out of interest and if you have not already said, or even if you want to keep it private.. How much all this setting you back?

Hello Ph1 Twin :rasp: The Ph2 Boss is different to the Ph1 IIRC.. As for links.. I will have a ganders!

Mine does the same thing, although I aint that fussed about it tbh! I've had it on previous cars too haha. Fook me! That has to be some kind of record! Shocked it ain't just a piece of rusty wire hanging there! haha :rasp:

I'd say go for it, it makes the engine bay a little more appealing to look at, instead of plan old metal! Haha, I have no idea :rasp: Poxy paint, I think I will go with the brush on stuff next time around! Yeah I was happy when I see it, also shocked! Still needs some touching up mind...

As some of you may know I had a bit of trouble with some Hammerite Smooth Spray Paint, it wasn't going to plan, so I gave up and left it over night and return to it in the morning to confront the disaster.. To my shock I returned to a nice red Plenum :eek: So set to work sanding out the...

Haha well you kept it that way so you must of thought it was nice :rasp:

I actually know someone who purchased one of these for their Astra SRi.. Lets just say he wasn't impressed.. Really? Shocking.. I know! What a tool haha!

SUSH God dam it! haha.. I'm trying to be stealthy!

That car is flipping gorgeous!

The white is actually really nice IMO

Great minds think alike huh Adam ;) haha

Cheers dude.. That will all change when you get your 172 dude, pure FTW!

The front bumper is from a Ph1 172.. The rear bumper is from a Ph2 1*2 The rear bumper is off a different car, the newer style, and is not the correct bumper for car with the front bumper you have shown, BUT they can fit the Ph1.. The front bumper is on cars from - 1998 to Early 2001 (although...

Oh yeah haha there not cheap new lmao

Keep an eye out in the For Sale section, some pop up pretty frequently.. Not to sure on the wiring side of things mate, I think there are a lot of people who have done the conversion so have a little search around I'm sure you will come across something ;)

Since about April 2008 ;)

Never been to keen on the Ph2 bumper on Ph1's, on the Ph2 they look great, the overall look of the car front and back with its lines and cleaner cut appearance it really suits, the Ph1 are more curved so I honestly don't feel the squareness of the Ph2 rear would suit it one little bit.. Each to...

He wasn't quick enough :rasp:

Did you use the spray paint? I think I will let it dry and see how it turns out, otherwise I will be buying the paint on stuff! Totally agree ;) Thanks for all other comments people, A hell of a lot of work to do yet!

Correct this is a direct swap, no other faffing about required.. Promise :rasp:

Thanks Russ.. Having some right hassle with the Plenum... poxy painting it is a mission! I think my Hammerite is dodgy.. Its not red, its water! lol.. Yeah I have considered it, but I'm sure I read once that in order to remove it you need to smash the bloody thing off! lmao.. Just hear say?

Hey people not really posted anything up to do with my car since being on here, its a work in progress lets say :rasp: Doings bits at a time, just finished spraying my badges anthracite and refitted them so just looking on some views, I'm sure this has already been done but hey haha.. I like it...

Having a little issue with this Hammerite Smooth Spray Paint stuff.. I shook the can for about 4 mins non stop and the stuff over night in my room prior to this, which is usually always around 22oC.. Went to spray it and it come out like water! it just dripped off everything.. WTF? Any ideas...

Exactly how I would do it, most common problem on the xbox drives is the guide rods sticking and wearing out and the laser packing in due to the rubbish shock absortion in the drive itself, easiest is to get the same drive and swap the PCB (circuit board) from your drive into the new one, this...
