aha! thanks for the corrections not sure where i got warm from! although i think i may be getting confused with checking and changing oil!

cold?i always though the car should be warm before checked, as thats the level it will be at when being driven?

was the car warm? it will expand once warm and possibly seem to rise...

good idea, so spray that first, and then mask it off and do the rest?

i made false floor for mine, worked a treat and looked really cool too. not hard to make at all, plus makes it alot harder to be stolen.

anyone else got any views?

doug - i bought one of the aluminium pipes from halfrods, and ive run it front the front of my airbox down next to the battery and to the bottom right of the bumper... i did have it going to the left hand grill, but it got s**t loads of heat soak when the engine was warm, i can tell a bit now...

what do you want mate colour chage? much damage to them? i might start doing them privately if your interested, just doing my second set of turbines at the minute and they're going pretty well

polished battery cover and fuse box cover, although personally i would get the carbon ones off ebay, carbon oil cap, spray the engine cover the same colour as the car, some samco hoses and just keep it clean, the it will look quite tidy mate.

right people, i'm thiking one of the above colours, but that will be a secret until its done, but... in the pics theres a polished lip on them, thinking about possibly doing the same but maybe black to match the car or something, any ideas???

yes they'll fit mate come up everynow and again on here, but ebay is the best bet, theres a front and rear on at the minute...

its down to erm, yellow blue or orange!!! cheers for the pics JLO, ive actually got the pic of the red ones saved somewhere on my laptop cos i loved it so much!!! how would i get the polished lip though, as im having to filler it up to get rid of the curbage...

anyone else?

thats awesome mate, exactly how i'd want a sport.

i want them to really stand out though brad, i had the kind of stealth look with that set, but iw ant something really different now. i can see your point, but not obvious enough!

yeah, i love the green but i think the block colour might be too much, as the turbines are quite solid instead of open... feel free to photoshop away!!

right, if anyone fancies a photoshop then heres the car, change the colour of the turbines and 16v badges, and colourcode the bumpstrips.

lol, i thought about red, although if pink would match i would spray them that colour, want something proper different, not turinis!

right, got a black mk2 ph3, gonna be lowered 60mm properly soon, and got another set of turbines... anyway, taking all that into account i want to spray them a nice bright colour which will stand out, i know most of you will be thinking why etc, but i want it different and cool, so anyhelp...

lol, i told my mate that but he wanted a second opinion!

anyone? for an expression clio.

just seen the pics, looks really nice mate, with the 16's on it will look really nice.

yeah i thought that, ill put some prgress pics up tomorrow for what i've done so far, seems frairly straight forward, might advertise if these go well!

yeah will do, thanks again for the info, expect some pm's if i get stuck!

ah right, im hoping it will be fine, if not then ill start again, on the other 3 ill use a rougher grit like you said! cheers for all the info, much appreciated mate.

basically the wheels have been kerbed a bit on some chunks out, so filled them up, i sanded them down with 1200 forst, then put the filler on, smoothed it out a bit with 400, then 1200 and now 1500 just to get a nice finish, some small patches need a bit more filler so i'll do that, then go...

cheers alex, yeah i will be priming them up etc when i spray them, just had a few scuff marks from the previous owner and stuff so i though i may aswell do it properly and smooth them all over.

cheers for the help, just making sure it doesnt need to cure for a certain period. hopefully i wont need any help, only done 1 wheel so far but seemed to go fairly easily, just used too much hardner and did it in the sun so hardened very fast! live and learn!

looks awesome mate, where do you get the 3/4 plates from??

nice mate, looking good.
