Wheels are getting cleaned up first mate, only because they bug me every time I see it. Then lowering, then I'm going to colour code it, but I'll do it myself, so it may take a lot of time and practice, but time is something I have at the moment! Lol!
Tried white, couldnt get the shop right tbh!!! Lol! But I don't know if it'd look right, if someone wants to have a go at one, feel free!
I'm thinking anthracite then... looking forward to next week now. :D
So I'm gonna refurb my wheels come monday, I'm just really not sure what colour to go for tbh.
I am really liking silver, but it feels like a waste to do them the same colour, my wheels are just a bit tatty so I will be re-doing it even if it's just silver.
Silver...
Anthracite...
Yeah had considered the ph2 door strips, nearly bough a pair a few times, but its always fell through, I'm kinda taking it as an omen. I'm not supposed to own ph2 strips.
I know sportlines don't go that low, but tbh I don't want to drop it on its ass, I just want it lower and to handle better...
LOL!!!! It wasn't THAT poverty spec!!! It had a tape player as standard, running to only front speakers, there was no wiring running to the backs at all! Totally pants!
This is what I can't decide one! The wheels need a refurb really, but doing them silver seems a bit of a waste? Smitchell round the corner from me has his done anthracite and they look bang on.
I was toying with the idea of white though? With the renault badges the same colour as the car?
It got stolen... In the middle of the night someone got under the car and robbed me blind!!!! I'm tempted mate as i really loved it, but funding at the moment is low... Depends how much of an amazing offer you'd take on it! ;)
Cheerrs for the positive comments. When I finally find employment...
Ok so I've owned the car for about 4 years and have been slowly modding it over all that time so I thought it deserved a thread.
This car as a whole has been done on a pretty strict budget as during my entire ownership I've been a student, and since leaving uni I'm currently unemployed.
I've...
Colour is epic, spoiler and speedlines are epic, alien is epic, just don't like the short plate, looks odd IMO, oh and the alignment of the panels around the headlight still angers me! Mint car though.
I'm guessing some of the reason would be you getting older (even if marginally), and that you've now held your lisence for some time rather than none (even without any no claims this makes a big difference)
The newer dynamic alloys are pretty much identical to 172 wheels just smaller, (I'm guessing thats what he's trying to sell you) where as the older ones are visibly different, i.e they are a bit "swirly"
Modding, so far you're doing it right.
Lowering would be a good next stop if you havent already, (hard to tell from the angles) some sport seats would bolt straight in, i'd look to get a set, change the feel when you're driving totally.
I may have to get a bit of a better explanation off of you sometime soon, if you could post some pictures up or PM me them, that'd be great. Otherwise MOT time could be a bother.
I don't understand all the bad feeling towards this guy on here? He seems to have a thing for anything with an engine and not have a snobbish attitute about it thats all. Yes, lots of the users on here hate reps, but surely it can't be that hard to understand.
Ah well, I look forward to any...
Yeah i'm really happy, cheers for the lights man, and for the passenger ride :evil: spent tonight manually getting them level in morrissons car park and for once i'm blinding no one!
Erm basically.... I had to take everything apart and out again *sigh* but.....
When everything is unplugged...
Good job with all the paint so far mate, just something you do in your spare time? Finish on everything looks really nice.
Really wanna get the balls to paint my wheels! :( Who took your tyres off for you mate and how much did they charge?
I thought it'd be more than that, nay bad at all!
P.s totted up the total spends on mine Ian, both those that were necessary and those that were just for fun, OUCH is all I can say!
FIXED!!!
If anyone has the problem of their headlights not adjusting even when the adjusters are in place, this can be solved. PM me if help is needed.
