sir christopher i have thought about it...lol
or just sand and lacquer...

soon it will have a full Kenwood set-up (co-axials, headunit, amp and sub), would you believe it didn't even come with rear speakers?

oh and i found a mini-fridge at work the other day, so i may sink that in the other side of the boot, will be perfect for when i get back from riding and need a drink...

 

[Christopher]

Sounds awesome mate.

Bare metal + clear would look ace.

Would look so much more special than it does in green.

the clio is kept with my mate (car painter / sprayer)
when i pop down i may speak to him about some ideas... doesn't really bother me it was only cheap...lol

 

[Christopher]

Either way mate, it's f*cking cool. What winter wheels do you have? Anything special?

 

[Jason_E]

jmaybe just sand it the f*ck off.....
.

Don't f**king tempt me any more. LOL!

Love how the sun hits the colour on das rimzzz!

Someone added rear speakers to mine already . I hate how S Spec doesn't come with f**k all! (except Air Con)

thankyou. nothing special on the winter wheels front, not worth the hassle of getting something special just for winter, when i sell the CMYK's off the clio the money will get tyres for the old steel wheels of the passat and they will go back on for a while, i thought about doing something with them but not sure i can be assed tbh.

you have air con???? lol

 

[Jason_E]

Yeah, iirc all Bora's had air con standard or something.

When I put my steels on my arches get mullered. Already melted and have warn through all the sealant and can see the chassis lol.

 

[Nafoff]

really....lol
hopefully mine should be alright as i have lost alot of width...
we will see i spose

 

[Jason_E]

I am tempted to just sand back the whole car, cover it in diesel, and let nature take it's course though.

 

[Nafoff]

yours cost more than mine...lol
alot more...

 

[Jason_E]

True I suppose. But f**k it.

Think you should do what you were planning to the steels for the hell of it!

 

[Nafoff]

i will see jas... see what happens when i can be bothered...

treatment i am possibly thinking for the passat's paint... maybe just maybe

 

[Christopher]

Awesome.

 

[_Tom]

I actually quite like the green there! I do like that mate.

I have to admit in my boredom in Turkey last week i actually bought one of your mags..lol! First time in years. There's more updates on here than your mag..lol

 

[Nafoff]

what did you think of the mag tom?

i know there is more updates on here.... but i can hop on here instantly, also there isn't much of a crossover on here...ie to our readers, the mag comes out monthly so obviously updates would take longer,

 

[Jason_E]

That's exactly what I want. Grind the paint off, pour diesel oil or something on the body. Respray the bumpers black as obviously they arent metal. Looks fapping awesome! I say do it

 

[Ads_172]

You should do that, but with Somerset cow s**t.

 

[Nafoff]

I'll be honest, its nowhere near as bad as i thought it was going to be. I had the one with a polo on the front? Not sure if its the latest. Certainly not what it used to be! Far from it..

 

[Nafoff]

lol... it almost sounds painful to say it tom...
that was last month yes, the new issue has just come out....

 

[Jason_E]

I think so many people are hung up on the old Fast Car, the one with bodykits etc. But it's not been like that for a long time. I showed this months mag to a few Fast Car haters at college and I had trouble getting the thing back! LOL

 

[_Tom]

Umm yeah it was kinda of but honestly it was quite an entertaining read. Plus i got to see your pretty face..

 

[Nafoff]

boost...
you have never seen it in real life still, its no better, print actually improves it

 

[_Tom]

I have from afar amny moons ago..lol

 

[Nafoff]

been away up-norf the past few days.
just prior to this i made a bracket for my front plate, it screwed into an existing plate hole but then went to one side (passenger)...was ok for 3 days then as passing back through the centre of brum today a crosser (of a crossing) pointed at my plate and done a squiff style gesture, as i got to my location i could here it starting to scrape... then as i reversed into a space the hole plate / mount just fell off... the hole's thread has been stripped and it turns out the plate had been scraping for a while and is now diamond shaped...(bummer as it was a new plate)

so as its proved i am not a peado / stalker type i will have to continue with the plate in the screen before i think up my next plan for a mounting attack

 

[Ads_172]

Why not buy an oversized plate, saw it down to the size of one of the outer bumper grilles? Remove grille, fit plate in place with a couple metal brackets behind?

That was always my thought for the Bora anyway...

 

[Nafoff]

i think i may look at a square plate for the front, may be easier to mount....

in the meantime, these are going on this week, after being wrapped in some part-worns,
really don't fancy sliding the rotiforms into something and as the lane is now getting more like a muddy ice rink each day these will be perfect.

 

[Turkish]

Grubby rim-shot, you are a deviant!

 

[wilky19]

are you keeping them black or doing something different.

 

[Jason_E]

It looks like you're going through with that idea on the steels. Good man!

 

[Ads_172]

What size and width steelies are they?

 

[Nafoff]

are you keeping them black or doing something different.

they were satin black centre with a bit of a grubby rim, but whilst down my painter friends unit he had some bronze/gold so using a tissue i brusshed the whole satin black centres with the bronze gold, then got an air-line with a wire brush attachment and took off all the paint around the rims (this will naturally rust), i then sprayed brake / clutch cleaner on the wheels and gave them a quick scotch.....giving the above effect.

What size and width steelies are they?

totally standard mate...15's by 6.5 / 7 i guess

 

[Bluebeard]

Arrrgh!!

I've got 4 Passat Steelies with 4 brand new tyres in work! Came in the boot of a Passat I bought which had Audi Wheels on it.

Are they any good to you boner?

 

[Nafoff]

they would be of very much use to me sir daniel

 

[Nafoff]

so i picked up the wheels and tyres of daniel, happy days, nice and cheap, they came from a passat of the same shapeand had loadsa tread on... perfect for winter wheels. I went to bolt them up on saturday, got the car in the air and started removing the roti's... as i offered the first steel up it was clear it wasn't going to fit...bugger, wrong PCD.... not daniel's fault, a passats a passat,

so back to the cottage collect original steels and then off to a tyre fitter to transfer the tyres over, job done, another £40 extra but still cheap for 4 basically new tyres,

I thought all Pissrats were 5x120?

 

[Bluebeard]

I thought all Pissrats were 5x120?

Thats what my mech said when I asked him.

I think the bloke that sold me the car just chucked some random VW/Audi wheels in the boot and told me they were off his car originally! c*nt.

 

[Ads_172]

Ah right, yeah he must have! I'm fairy sure Passats have always been 5x120, certainly for the last 10 years or so.

 

[Nafoff]

i swapped the pap steels for a pug 206 washer bottle neck as i snapped naomi's trying to change the light bulb
found out afterwards they are screw on god dam it...

Some of them have a really really really annoying clip that requires fingers like biceps to take off, to be fair to you.
