Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction

i am unsure on the cards tbh, i am sure i am being a tart but for them to work i really think they need to be totally plain, have plastic windows and a CF dash......

as said though i am being a tart

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction

well my thread has kind of dive bombed quite well! the car took to the back burner for a while so i could spend my time on a slightly larger purchase. I bought myself my first house which although financially bent me over, did give me somewhere to keep the little lady nice and dry....

did a few bits and bobs to the car but not a great deal, then managed to get some overtime and the spending could continue. i was after Carbon Lorraine's but could not get the version i wanted in time for a Bedford RS trackday. so braided hoses and DS2500's had to do for the time being.

ordered Wednesday afternoon, turned up Thurs morning, fitted that night ready for Fridays trackday. sorted.

the roof NEEDS either respraying or wrapping so shortly i'll be getting a matt black roof to keep in touch the matt black wheels.

but more importantly, a Caged full cage will be going in before xmas. the whole interior will be cleaned, sprayed properly and quite frankly, look mint

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction

i had a feeling you were going to too :p

im not after having it black, im not spending £850 for it not be to sodding obvious lol. silver would look too 'clean' in the car, orange would look pimp. and im not keen on having green like my other set of wheels. i'd better make sure i get mine posted up first lol

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction

^ yes and yes. next spring/early summer, the interior should be close to what im after i think. then just to finish the exterior - easy. engine, not so easy....

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction

not got a clue tbh, i just know its smaller and therefore less ghey than the oringial. i'd measure it if she wasnt locked back up in her cage

edit: omp website suggests it only comes in 320mm, bang tidy

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction

mmmm black roof is happening sooner than expected. got a price of £250 + vat and £400 + vat locally for a matt black vinyl.

spoke to a friend of a friend who has recently started his own spraying business and for much less that £250 is painting the roof properly, just got to bung a small sticker on the rear window with the others. Ive got wednesday off so may drop it off to them then

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction

i was thinking boot, bonnet and roof, but may be too ott really. the boot has a few marks where i reversed into the garage too quick and hit the bikes :-/

at the price im paying, it wouldnt be much to get the rest done at a later date. not sure which shade of black were going for yet. think it will be the cheapest he has tbh, this car is'nt worth a great deal so no point spending lots on nice metalic paint or anything.
