dan_1987 · Feb 27, 2010

thanks will have to get some pics of the engine bay aswell as ive just fitted samco hose and carbon fibre engine cover looks sweet!

MK3 · Feb 27, 2010

Looks nice mate. If you are going to go with the tints idea, please please don't get anything more than 'light smoke'.

dan_1987 · Feb 27, 2010

yeah thats the plan mate still dont know if to get them or not some how dont think it will look right..

jonnytheboy · Feb 27, 2010

Another gem from Riverside cars :approve:

dan_1987 · Feb 27, 2010

it was indeed mate! done a few bits n bobs to make it my own now tho!

jonnytheboy · Feb 27, 2010

Anthracite wheels will set it off nicely. Think i might sell mine! i fancy 15" :approve:

dan_1987 · Feb 27, 2010

i want anth wheels if only i had the cash how much you want 4 them?

jonnytheboy · Feb 27, 2010

dont know really, dont forget the anthracite "cup" wheels have a different offset to the standard ones, mine are et45 i think standard ones are et38 that means the cup wheels will be 8mm further in. Could get spacers though

dan_1987 · Feb 27, 2010

mmmm. may just get these painted then.....

jonnytheboy · Feb 27, 2010

Thats what i would do.

danjf · Feb 27, 2010

do them white!!!

dan_1987 · Feb 28, 2010

nah my plan is yellow black and anthracite WITH BITS OF CARBON! lol

dan_1987 · Mar 2, 2010

pics of the engine bay will be added today at some point!

dan_1987 · May 18, 2010

just give the car a quick wash and wax heres the results!! comments please guys!!!

and one of the engine bay

Mr Pants · May 18, 2010

Looks great mate. Black just cleaned is always a win. Like the engine cover too!

dan_1987 · May 18, 2010

thanks mate yeah the cover was a bargain off ebay lol love it when its clean just ashame it dosnt stay like that long! i see you have a fiesta zs i had a mk 5 zs before i got the 182!

dan_1987 · May 19, 2010

think i need to do the badges on the rear tailgate yellow too?

Jimbo-Clio · May 19, 2010

Not feeling the yellow buddy sorry. Tidy example though.

Imo bright colour badges are so chavy should go with a black and carbon theme as you have already purchased the most expensive carbon bits!

Carbon Exhaust surrounds
Carbon diamonds
Black Bullets with detailing of what ever colour wheels you have
CTR ariel

Save the yellow for under the bonnet get yourself a yellow strut brace
and some more yellow hoses
Polish the bay aswell mega effort but looks cool

Loosing the rear badges looks better than any painted badges imo aswell

dan_1987 · May 19, 2010

thanks for your honest reply mate tbh i wasnt sure with the yellow badges to start with but ive really grown to like them just want my wheels doing anthracite with yellow badges think it will really set it off!

dan_1987 · May 19, 2010

oh forgot to say de-cat in the post !! CANT WAIT!!!

Jimbo-Clio · May 19, 2010

Cool should be a nice improvement, will be a sound improvement aswell

dan_1987 · May 20, 2010

yeah hope its not to loud tho thats one of the main reasons i went for the miltek cat back instead of the yozza lol!

dan_1987 · Aug 16, 2010

havnt updated this in ages got de-cat fitted sounds awsome! and also had the wheels painted dark anth havnt got any pics apart form this one sorry the car was filthy!

IDan · Aug 16, 2010

Black bullets with yellow writing would look much better IMO. Once thats done and possibly lowered a bit itll look spot on

dan_1987 · Aug 16, 2010

yeah i was thinking the same thing the other day.... might get another set and spray them up

chrispy.clio · Aug 16, 2010

Looks much better with the darker wheels

dan_1987 · Aug 16, 2010

thanks mate il have to get it cleaned at some point this week and get some fresh pics up!

dan_1987 · Nov 14, 2010

Few updated pics comments welcome guys!

dan_1987 · Nov 15, 2010

Went through the mot today only let me down on the bottom ball joint which didn't cost too much to repair so got the mechanic to fix it and retest all done for another year now!

dan_1987 · Sep 3, 2011

Just lowered the car on apex springs think it's looking sweet:dead:

Comments welcome guys!

jtnmalone · Sep 5, 2011
