R2 stickers would need to be backed up with a respectably high right height and some gravel-spec tyres

sooooo sorry its been so long since iv posted any update guys :/ been really busy at uni... trying to get a placement and find a flat for next year as well as revising and working :( not enough money to do much atm but the wheels are being re-done soon (due to a slight problem with the garage i get my tyres from... not mention any names but when removing and fitting new tyres for me they scratched all the way around the rear rims and it removed around 90% of the layers of paint :'( i was annoyed to say the least)

im currently also saving for some decent coilovers (probably eibach or spax depending on cost).
also saving for a bit of paintwork and repair at the mo that she has been needing since i got her :( sooooo sorry its been so long since iv posted any update guys :/ been really busy at uni... trying to get a placement and find a flat for next year as well as revising and working :( not enough money to do much atm but the wheels are being re-done soon (due to a slight problem with the garage i get my tyres from... not mention any names but when removing and fitting new tyres for me they scratched all the way around the rear rims and it removed around 90% of the layers of paint :'( i was annoyed to say the least)

i also want to get my bump strips CC'd and then she will be nearly finished :D

happy to hear any recommendations from anyone on what to do or not do at this point :)

i know lol but as i say it has been a while and i know people are following this so dont want them to lose interest due to my lack of info...

and thanks for the shout i may look out for Vmax as a cheaper option :) when you say they are brill for you... do you play around on back roads or just drive regularly like i do? :p im up and down the motorway alot and i use the car alot so dont want them breaking on me because of how often i use the car... i replaced the shocks for brand new originals when i first got the car 2 years back as part of the list of repairs and they have been brill apart from a squeek iv got atm but according to my grease monkey its because iv had it on and off the ramps ALOT so need to jack it up and WD40 them all..

but sidetracking aside i was just wondering on reliability etc as with most of the bits iv done and am doing its a first for me :)

oh while im on here i thought id post a quick update to let everyone know what im planning with the car atm :)

im currently sourcing a new front bumper and drivers side wing (small crack in bumper and a hole in wing) as shown in pic below... im also getting prices and making bookings for the car to be re-painted in places (roof needs a bit of care and bonnet needs alot of dints removing and painting) so the car will be sparkling again :D im also getting the cc'd handles and door strips :)

(as always with these pics when iv used them- all credit goes to paul (harphominom))

im also saving for coilovers as you are all aware now.. iv recently got a quote for the interior repaired and bits replaced (from a car upholsterer) as it needs a little bit of love and as it happens the gent has offered to pipe the interior in green and replace the renaultsport badge for a green renault sport badge :) i think it will really tie the interior in with the car and adds to individuality of it :) id like to know thoughts and ideas...

the only other change will be the RS grille and im hoping with the student loan coming up shortly and summer hols (chance to work more hours) this will all be done before CS saturday :D

MINI UPDATE :D

after removing the stickers and shopping around for parts i have finally gotten off my arse with the sunny day today and painted the rear drums back to black :D and its looking rather smart ;)
(il post pics monday)

as i say shopping for parts to repair the car and improve the overall look atm :) talking to a few people about these.. iv got a seemingly nice guy offering the removable parts i need at a reasonable price :D im also having words with the gents in custom colourwork (a reputable paint company in doncaster) to get the roof fixed and rear bumper re-painted. the plastic parts on bumpers are also being cc'd and they have offered to do the handles and side strips in the same price :D but they have given me the choice to either CC the side strips or remove and smooth the side before painting the car in the same price..

i would like to know peoples thoughts or see pics if someone has already done it to see what the better option would be :)

it will look smart till you get a dent. f*ck up a bump strip you can buy another
Click to expand...

a man of wisdom :D much respect mate i shall keep the bump strips :D

as for the paint job i am getting the full respray to generally tidy up the car and improve the look (aswell as getting rif of the god awful scratches and dints) the delightful duo who are doing the job have offered me any colour of choice...

any thoughts as towards colour?... ie black pearl NV676 (the original and current colour code) or a custom black? as it obviously has to be a black of some form but could be mettalic, pearl, or black with green flecks etc..

not really because as i said above i have a choice in colour just that black would be the better option... i could have pearlescent lacquer or have metallic green flecks in the paint instead of the standard colour i was purely asking for feedback...
