Clean stealth



Gave her a little wash today, used a bit of wax and tyre shine too. It's probably the only time I've spent over an hour cleaning it. My conclusion? Black is a pain in the fcuking arse to wash.

There's also loads of stone chips all over the front of it from those b*****d gritters :(

(The car is still a work in progress so no 'needs exhaust surrounds/Clio badge/anything' else comments please!)

Thanks for looking :)

Very nice fella, love the wheels :D

needs lowering tho :)

Edit: Rear left side is higher than the right ? or am i just seeing things..
 
Like the car, but the only thing i would have to do is put like 20mm spacers all round and coilovers to pull them wheels off! They look a bit pants atm with the wrong offset and arch gap.
It has 25mm spacers on the front, can't afford to buy rear ones atm as I have insurance tax and MOT to pay for this month! As I said it's a work in progress so there's be more mods to come yet :)

Can't afford coilies either so it's on springs atm, they handle really well but I wouldn't mind the front being a little lower.

Cheers for all the good comments and yes it is a rep haha

Cheers mate, going to try filling it myself and sticking a decal over/around it so it's harde to notice ;) I'll post pics when it's done.

The Renaultsport badge will also be coming off.
 
None in Manchester! Was a sunny day today and reasonably warm (compared to the past week). It started a little bit about half an hour ago and now I think it's raining. Ahh well :rasp:

just looking at the pic from the front left of the car...shouldnt the light line up with the down sweep on the bumper?
 
Yeah probably. I'm taking the bumper off soon to replace the lights for my MOT so I'll sort it then :) Most reps I've seen are like this though, not sure why it happens.

Agreed! Pity mine will be a filthy mess tomorrow, no arch liners means it doesn't stay clean for longer than 5 minutes of driving :(

love your car mate!
very nice
Cheers pal :D

I like this rep :)
Cheers!

i think it needs smaller wheels tbh
I know what you mean but you have no idea how long it took me to find a decent set of these!
 
+1 you'll find that smaller wheels will give it a bit of a drop too.

Maybe some 2118's? or pro race 1.2s

(I dont particularly like turinis)
I like 2118's but don't really fancy spending much more money on this now, gonna start saving up for something bigger and better :) Plus I like the fact that hardly anyone has these wheels :rasp:

Still a fantastic lookin motor ;)
Thanks mate :)
