Im sure you can get them from halfords, look up the clio model in the book. or ebay. £7 a can i think

BTW looks smart mate! i think when the wheels are white itl look well nice! and once its lowered! :rasp: glad you like the tints mate, i think there looking good!

 

[Mat23]

Nice van

just got back from halfrauds, they don't do odessey blue, which is a bit of a con, apparently they will mix it for me at £17.99 a can. which is a rip off compared to the £7.99 for all other colours
annoyed to say the least, anyway, i was thinking of sending them to the body shop to be painted as it will work out around the same price im hoping,
hope this helped anyway!

 

[Mat23]

it will cost soooooooooo much more getting them done professionally if thats what you mean, if you dont wana paint it yourself your honestly better off buying blue side strips, and bumpers. you can find them cheap, ive been looking and that halfords paint is a rip off a that price!! get on ebay

you can buy them pre done? in oddessey blue? if so where from? and i wanted to do them myself, but refuse to pay so much for paint :/

 

[Mat23]

ebay mate:evil:

 

[Joss.]

anyone know where to get odyssey blue paint so i can colour code? other than the obvious EBAY (mat) also how much roughly would it cost to be CC'd professionally?

 

[Kieran..]

you tried renault?

I was quoted 60 for each side strip, and 120 each for front and back bumper. Im not too sure about your paint, it must be a hard colour to find. i think in clifton moor they have a spray shop wich might mix the paint up for cheaper. cheaper than halfords anyway. google it, there must be somewhere online you can order it from

I have a feeling renault will be expensive:dead:

 

[Joss.]

havnt had a real update in a whileee...so here goes...

had these delivered today...

i think they will look great when theyre on now just thinking about lows, how low should i go?

 

[Mat23]

i went 4o mil

 

[Joss.]

okay so not too much progress just yet, managed to get two of the wheels on (long story)

so yeah, heres some pics of how she stands at the mo

understand theyre not to everyones taste, but i like them, some people say their too small etc, i think they look good....desperate for lows now tho!

Anyway, definitely needs lowering, you have worse arch gap than Gally atm. The tints are rank as well. Once it's lowered, and if the tints were gone, I think the white touches would look a lot nicer.

i have mates on the corsa forum, told me to put a thread of my car in the "other cars" part....and i really like my tints, just had them done so deffo not coming off and lows soon, i promise!! haha

 

[Joss.]

would anyone recommend changing the exhaust on a 1.2? seems a bit of a waste of money, but want a bit of noise any ideas?

 

[twiztid]

If you want some noise then do it, I put some dirty sportex one on mine, it was cheap loved it on short drives but when it came to motorways I bloody hate it, but k-tec do some brilliant ones

 

[clancy]

get an exhaust by all means but its a 1.2 so dont spend any money on one. jsut buy a back box, you dont need a full catback.

i put a cherry bomb on my old non sport. loved it, sounded amazing, was cheap as they come (£35 i think) and wasn't as loud as people moan about. probably no louder than my silenced 172 exhaust

ive been looking at a cherry bomb! defo not wanting a full system, as it will only be taken off when i come to sell, where can i get a cherry bomb in the UK though?

 

[clancy]

ebay mate, just cut the old back box off and weld it on, just need to buy some sort of bracket you can weld on top. i used two exhuast hangers welded together, worked a treat. cost me like £50 for the cherry bomb and to have it fitted and what not at my mates garage

theres loads of different ones, when i ordered mine i phoned up to say what one i wanted. youll want basically the smallest inlet they do
