2nd Black Ph2 **1.2/Cliche CS Content** Lots of Pics



  2nd Black 1.2
Been On here for a year and a bit, thought id get round to writing a little project. Mostly of my new Clio, but will post what i started with and what i learned from (everyone needs it, dont worry, no bodykits chavness etc)

anyway, couple months before i passed my driving test, i went ahead and bought this little (piece of w***) motor

temporary.jpg


a 51plate 1.1 8v Authentique, was an okay base to start with, couple trolly dings and was used by a horse trainer/rider so the seats looked like she shat herself and all crevices were howling, therefor i wanted in lovely and clean. so bought a Karcher and started to really love cleaning my pride and joy..

im sure you all done the same with youu power washer

SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES.

after a few months of pottering around with paint, getting bumped on here for door cards which i didn't receive, and a LOT of breakdowns, the end result was this.

this car basically taught me how to drive. used it as a project to learn how to clean and wax properly. so for that i thank it.

Then it failed its MOT. so much so the car was worth less than the bill. (handbrake, PAS, airbag light, emissions, a few others i cant remember :s)

but i knew i was going to need a new car soon and it was either get a Gordini/Trophy as insurance was the same as the 1.1, or another 1.1/1.2 for £700 insurance.

trip to glasgow and bought this

for £1500, 70k miles (50k less than the last) with a years MOT, thought it was a good find!

got home safe after first time on a motor way

then the sunday, the budgeters way of colour coding plastics! gloss black wrap :) (prepares for slating..)

incase anyones having trouble.. this is what i done.

get a flathead screw driver and cover it in tape to protect your paint.

and pull in the opposite direction from the end of the car the protector is on, should pop right off. repeat for the other three :)

then i wrapped, done my dash plastics 'case they were faded where people had turned the key.

wrapped against non wrapped.

thats it for now, i have a KTec back box on the way and going to new exh. pipes fitted from the local Tuning shop.

Dont worry those alloys will be coming off in the near future, looking into getting lensos (fake bbs almost)
and thinking on a black with hints of yellow colour scheme.

thanks for reading and of course, comments welcome! :D

Be a shame, only thing I wasn't keen on was the number plate location on the front but Just curious as the bird poop will be damaging the paint :)
