5 door MK2 Ph1

[MarkEvanson]

Hi Guys I just thought id put my project up. At the moment im just doing subbtle things and will hopefully be doing bigger things soon
comments welcome

I bought it for £900 and its a 1.2 grande

The First thing I did was look for some alloys. After a few months I found some old BMW wheels.

The only thing wrong with the wheels was this..... It was Kerbed :/

I got the referbed and its like new woop,
The next thing I wanted to do to was change the lights.

Next was to change the badges

Thnx for looking.
All comments and opinions welcome

 

[MarkEvanson]

Just ordered these today so should be coming within few days. Woop
also got some centre caps on the way too.
more pics to come.

Nice buddy , There is another 5door on here at the moment too looking really nice, threads called 'cleeeoo' or something similar, take a look.

 

[MarkEvanson]

Thanks alot,
yeah i seen a blue one on ere dunno if thats the same one ur on about
Anything u think i should do/change?

 

[Alastair.]

i know a mark evanson

 

[MarkEvanson]

Darlington ???

Get a dynamique / sport spoiler on these as soon as you can mate! Or even better a cup one if you can find / afford one lol!

 

[MarkEvanson]

ive found one that i could nick from a dynamic is it a straight swap?

 

[hsmith]

spoiler is a straight swap and thats what i would do to the car buddy & colour code spoiler cheap mod, subtle and looks nice

 

[MK3]

Yeah, straight swap mate.

Edit: Someone beat me too it lol.

 

[MarkEvanson]

kewl,
ill do that then,
nd do you think i should colour code the bumpers?
was gonna do it but a few people said it will look stupid?

 

[hsmith]

wouldnt look stupid, its all down to your budget how far you take it, i mean if your insurance is allright with it, lower it a bit?

what would be cool is a Ph2 rear bumper, would imagine its easy to source and cheaper alternative to a sport. gloss black would be nice for the bump strips but i may get slated for saying this lol.

 

[MK3]

With regards too rear bumper, i have a Ph2 non sport one if you're after one. Would make the rear look more modern imo. Would need respraying though. Yours for the price of postage + bubble wrap!

 

[MarkEvanson]

haha cheers,
coz i was going to smooth it all off too nd paint it all white but i dunno know im thinking of getting a ph2 bumper like, i love the tail lights so i was thinking of adding the bumper too,
its just finding a colour match

 

[Stu.]

have the wheels been bored? or running adapters? thaught they had a 57.1 center? get some lows on the go and shel look countless times better

 

[MarkEvanson]

yeah they have been bored as they were like 2mm too small, nd what u mean get some lows and shel?

 

[Stu.]

lows = lower, and shel = grammar fail, i ment she'll lol if thats even correct ! where did you get the french shite sticker? lol

 

[GavC]

Get it 'slammed' and it will look awsesome with those BMW wheels Dual optic headlights, fogs, dynamique spoiler, colour coding??, clear indicators.. Done

If you want inspiration just do a euro search some sick cars on here!

[Stu.]

[MarkEvanson]

Thanks alot for that

[danzel]

What a difference the wheels, badges and lights have made! Can't wait to see how this one shapes out

 

[GavC]

I fully love the beanie on your head rest Where are the seat covers from as well?

 

[danjf]

wheels look mint mate, nice idea...not seen it before. it cost much to get the centres bored?drop it low and put spacers on will look awesome

 

[MarkEvanson]

Cheers guys I got the seat covers from ebay mate nd cheers glad u like the beanies
thought id get the use out of them,
nd i have a friend who works with engines so he did it for free
thinking of dropping it but dunno how much coz we have some seriouse speed bumps by my area

 

[MarkEvanson]

[MarkEvanson]

Arghhh Stupid Exhaust Has Just Fell Off well Peeved Off

[MarkEvanson]

Steelie back on :/

Wheel Back From Refurb Woop All Back On

 

[MarkEvanson]

Went out in the car the otherday and the car was violently shaking when accelerating.... :/ so i started looking on here for what it could b nd realised i had my wheels refurbed which meant taking the wieghts off :/
Just got it balanced again properly nd no more shakes

 

[VeinAST]

The centrecaps are costly for the BMW rims. £60 for a decent set. You need some spacers I think

 

[MarkEvanson]

Ive been looking at 10mm spacers but not sure yet.
i missed a decent set of centre caps for £25 the other day was sick as a dog :/
