Cleaned the ly and tried on some new shoes ;)



  Ly Megane 230 F1
Decided to use my proper camera for once and take some photos once i had cleaned the car,decided to go on a wee trip to take some photos to.
Car was treated to the below :)
( car never gets a chance to get dirty,usually washed and waxed atleast 2/3 times a month)
Pressure washed to remove most of the dirt..since the car is waxed often pressure washing alone removes a very high % of the dirt.
Washed with DJ sour power and DJ wash mitt
Usual areas that have a build of of tar and oil contaminates were attacked with DJ Tar and traffic film remover
Poor boys white diamond glaze was applied ( to body and wheels )
Poor boys paste wax was applied ( to body and wheels )
Tyres were treated with Gtechniq T1

I need to buy some new products..im missing my Dodo Juice wax! :(

Anyway..the pics..

Was gonna say exact same thing as you (not Christopher). Silver wheels don't suit the LY I think. Really tidy car though but I'd get the wheels done in a darker colour.

i agree that they look better with a lowered car but i dont want to touch the handling side of the car until i can afford a suspension kit that will be better than standard and no handle like a boat :) haha.

thanks for the comments... the wheels will be re-done in a darker colour verrryyy soon.

i think the silver would look better if i didnt colour match the badge and bullets to the 182 cup alloy colour.

Just get sportlines or prolines, rear ARB and camber bolts mate. Pretty cheap setup and much improved! Still soaks up bumps and comfy, i love it on my 182, cracking for track as well. imo only a coilover like KW or bilstein can beat it. :)

i looked into that and for the price of springs,arb,bolts im just aswell saving the extra £150/200 and getting good adjustable coilovers and dampening :)

I'd get them refurbed in silver and go back to standard bullets and badges. Looks really clean!

Lovely. Just needs some lows now ;)

A freind of mine has got trophy turini's on his and I think they look slightly better imo.

wow, looks a million times better silver.

I never thought i'd say this, but don't get em done darker, silver does look mint!

I'm really surprised at the interest of them been silver...I have always thought LY look better with darker wheels
 
  Ly Megane 230 F1
I know the originall ones would look better... But at the moment they are going a darker colour till I can afford a full professional refurb :)
 
  Ly Megane 230 F1
At the moment silver doesnt do it for me.. its not the kind of look im wanting to go for, i seen a LY on here with black turinis and IMO it looked really good.

my mate txt me today saying the boy with the ly has fitted silver wheels. he looks at it every time he crosses the bridge
