[scott1205]

nice car mate

i wouldnt bother with new plates its obv what it says any way

 

[chrispy.clio]

Oooooo i like the numberplate.

A fairly expensive one too!

I preferr the first DVLA one tho, The dodgy one looks a little chavy for some reason (imo)

 

[chrispy.clio]

Did you get the numberplate from the DVLA or from somewhere else?

 

[adam172]

they were purchased from carreg.com iirc

thank for the nice comment guys i want to get new plates anyway as the ones suplied arnt very good quality and they have a border which i dont like. i will probly keep them legal then saves a lot of hassle.

 

[adam172]

not much of an update but just some clean pics as the weather was good today!

also notice iv replaced the cone filter with standard box and samco, im waiting for pipercross filter to go in when it arrives

feedbacks always good even if its bad lol

 

[adam172]

was less than half that price lol

- have now removed rear wiper and all rear plastics also spare wheel is out

 

[Joshua.J]

looks nice mate, where did you get the yellow spray pipes from?

 

[Rob]

Good effort Ad, that number plate must have been some £££, your rents must love you a lot! Haha!


Look forward to getting a better look at this some point soon, especially now the weather is better.

Matt black would really suit the back of the car IMO, either that or carpeting it with some thin carpet (so its lightweight) and then just keeping a bootnet so you can still use the back without stuff flying around.

yea now the weathers better and days are longer we defently need a local meet theirs a fair few around the area now

i was thinking matt black as well plus its easier to spray rather that a metallic lol - will probly start this when the front gets seeing too - and you have givin me a hand relocating the battery lol

 

[domjolly]

[adam172]

had a day off today so got a few bits done not much but hey its my day off lol!


woke up to a phone call from skoda saying my splitter was in, so i popped down there came back, 20 mins later - splitter fitted!

then the postman turned up with a new ICV and my pippercross filter

so set about fitting that. while i was in the bay thought i would tidy a few bits up so cracked open the matt black vht and painted a few bits

then i cleaned up the rear abit so its pritty much ready for prepping and painting - think im ging to do it matt black now!

[subarufreak]

[adam172]

[adam172]

so picked up some pro race 1.2s these will be getting a refurb and sprayed anthracite (same colour as my wheels atm)

and just got this little lot for my interior

also i had been having some problems with idling it was revving all over the place like this

so a quick fix

out

in

now idles perfect

 

[Rob]

"In" pic not working, also I know somewhere you can get tins of primer (half size of the above) but for only £1! Should have said!

Look forward to seeing the interior matt black, should look awesome!

lol ow well will know in the future - yea i cant wait to get the interior sprayed now but want to get the new wheels refurbed and on first i think

 

[Rob]

Doing the wheels yourself?

 

[adam172]

no no no noooo i want the to actually look half decent lol, iv got a friend thats going to do them i think just two need work on them and they all need painting obviously not sure how much yet but should be ok

 

[adam172]

trial fitted my 1.2's earlier car looks really high in these pics but its really not and once the car settles it will be even better

car sits sooo much better on them but i now need spacers as there to far in the arch imo !

+ i kind of like them in gloss black so now debating whether to still pay out to get them refurnished in anthracite hmmmmmmmmm!



sorry for crap pictures

 

[Ali-j]

Really like the 1.2's in black mate, looks like you made a good job of takin out that icv lol.

 

[adam172]

lol it was a b**ch (or i had crap drill bits ) still its made a hell of a difference and was worth it

and thanks for the alloy comment im seriously thinking of keeping them gloss black now.

 

[Rob]

Alloys look bang on Ad, don't touch them!!! Wanna have a proper look at this in the flesh soon, last time I was rushed and it was dark.

 

[adam172]
