[N1CKY]

How i bought it, With centercaps though i took them off before i realised i had no pictures!

Got the car a left her on stands for a few days while i got to work

After sanding/filling/sanding/sanding/sanding i finally got the primer on

***Million Internetz if you can indentify the block on the stand ***

Left over night then painted the next day.

Nice and shiney

Got the wheels back on the Gav started to tint

Wheels dont look to shabby

Last pics i have. Anyone want to party in my Arch gap ? :rasp:

Cars now lowerd 35mm (Should of went more...)

No pics as of yet im afraid, Heres my plans for the next few weeks:

K-Tec Exhaust
Angel Eye Headlights (Black)
White TRS Tow Strap ? Unsure as of yet because i think it will look silly sitting so high ? opinons?
White Renault badges and 16v door inserts ?



More to come shortly.

Nice start. Cheap mods on 1.2s FTW. Don't be tempted to waste money on engine mods though

 

[N1CKY]

No pics as of yet sorry (Too dark after work). I wont be doing engine mods... Will be buying a old VW soon to Turbo This is just a run around really.

White paint...?

Scotch Pad
Sand paper, I used 600 then 800 grit
Filler (If curbed)
Primer
Paint (I used Ford Diamond white)
Laquer

I wouldnt advise using rattle cans but you can try, Most important thing is to be patient and remember a good paint job is all in the prep work.

And the diamonds just push out squeezing the retaining clips downwards.

Just a small update, No pics yet.

Got my paint today for colour coding, So will be doing that over xmas. Will also be painting the diamonds white. Orderd some wind deflectors. Just been looking at TRS straps on ebay, Cant find a white one. Presumably because they get so dirty, Any suggestions for colour on one ? Will be fixing the laquer on the lights and fitting silvervisions also. K-tec hidden exhaust soon aswell. Still trying to justify it

Don't bother with a tow strap if it's not white it just won't go with the theme. Look forward to seeing your mods

Few more pics (with the car lowerd 35mm)

Before

After

Any thoughts? I know Snap Off sticker isnt straight, I done it in a carpark in pitch black. Also got white CS stickers to go in side windows.

 

[K1NGY]

Sitting nice.
Any further plans?

 

[N1CKY]

Got the paint there ready to colour code, Just waiting for space in the garage atm. I had this really chavvy idea but it may be able to pull it off, a sunstrip ? I know it sounds gay as fook but it might work... Shall have to see. Its easy peeled off. Oh and there is a 3/4 number plate sitting in the boot of it also! Oh yeh and white diamonds.

What do you think about fabia splitter? or maybe more lowwws ?

 

[K1NGY]

Rs grill?

Fabia splitter is always a winner
Urr, i think its sits nice but its weather you like it or not?

 

[danzel]

Looks clean! RS grille and cupra/skoda/cup splitter would look great next!

 

[Owen_m]

Looks really nice I like the wheels. Go lower maybe? Would look so sick mate + what danzel said about the adding a splitter, it'll look lower at the.front than it is nice car

Maybe my plan, But 50mm on springs will be rough! Cant afford coilies atm

Deffo splitter soon, Whats the best to fit and are they available on ebay ?

Cheers

 

[Owen_m]

Well every one says skoda fabia, but its fairly easy to but any splitter of similar width breakers yard is best bet and cheapest but I know for.a fact there's usually Laguna ones on there for not much

If you've got $58mm bolt spacing on.your.front.strut.where the damprr.goes you can get.coilys for under 200. Would be the best look in my opinion . I'm going for vmaxx coilys as soon as I have money in my acount. On another note what size are your wheels?

Sorry for the bad English and.grammer...... I hate my phone
Good work mate

 

[gee28]

I have a 1.2 03 plate expression. What Coilies would you recommend? Thinking of dropping it 40 as there's alot of speed bumps round here. Any advice would be much appreciated
Cheers

 

[N1CKY]
