Decided to clean the car (latest pictures)

[rk2009]

Well I decided to clean the car today, hopefully it doesn't rain tomorrow like it did last week

The front diamond was drying when I took these pictures so that's why it's not on the pictures. I've sprayed it black again. It's on the car now and it's much smoother than my first attempt.

The wheels will be changed when I've passed my test hopefully. I'll probably just get the standard 172 wheels and spray them.

Here's a list of whast I've done so far...

• Medium tints on back 3 windows
• Silver bullets (considering spraying them black)
• Silvervisions
• RS grille (should be here Tuesday)
• Front diamond sprayed black (not pictured)
• New number plates
• New wiper blades
• Civic ariel
• Calipers painted black
• Clio Sport tax disc holder
• Black steering wheel cover (had to have one because there were marks on the wheel that I couldn't remove)
• New stereo
• New lighter
• Dash inserts sprayed black

I think that's all. I hate the splitter that's on there at the moment but I don't fancy trying to change it. I'll end up making it worse.

Time for the pictures!

Sorry about the light in the pictures, it's too bright isn't it?

Any suggestions on what to do next are welcomed!

Thanks

Nice, dash strips don't look bad at all was it already fully colour-coded when you bought it too?

Tidy motor, future mods sound good. Get rid of the granny steerin wheel cover though!

Thanks, they turned out really well. Yes it was all colour-coded thankfully.

I want to but like I said I can't until I find a way of getting rid of the marks.

Lower it. Will be the best thing you do to it. Trust me from experiance.

I... can't... get... the... marks... off If anyone has any tips to help me get the marks off, please share them! I don't want a cover.

£130 to get it lwoered on sportlines. Just save :rasp:

Get some interior wipes to get watever marks you have on them. Where is the front diamond gone?

Looks tidy though mate.

 

[scott1205]

looks good mate

Nah, don't really want to spend so much money on something like that. I need to save for other things.

The marks won't come off, I've tried lots of things. I'll just keep the cover on. The front diamond was drying when I took these pictures, I mentioned that in my first post

Suggestions are appreciated! Looking to make small changes to the car now.

My bad, never read it

Well it rained... AGAIN!

RS grille should be here tomorrow so I'll take pictures of that once it's fitted. That should improve the car a lot.

 

[rk2009]

Bump, I'm looking for suggestions. What should I do next (apart from lowering it )?

 

[Jordi17]

Spray those wheels black/anthracite, paint calipers silver.

I might get the wheels powder-coated actually. I could get them done for free. It's just that I wanted 172 wheels and the ones I've got have been scuffed a little, you wouldn't really notice if they were black though would you?

 

[Jordi17]

no not really. Go for it, or do it yourself like.

Are there any pictures of those wheels powder-coated? All I've seen are the 172 ones.

 

[Jordi17]

Yeh there must be some on here, just do a quick search mate, should find quite a few.

 

[MATTYMAN]

How much were the tints?

 

[rk2009]

How much were the tints?

£100.

Grille arrived today but my mom has it so it probably won't be fitted today.

 

[rk2009]

Fitted the RS grill just. It looks awesome. I took pictures but they're not very good so I'll take some more tomorrow hopefully. Really pleased with it.

£100 on tints but wouldnt spend £130 on springs which will change it drastically.
Tractor atm, other than that its gorgeous.

Well to start with I knew nothing about how "important" lowering a car is when I had the tints done. I'm only 17, I'm not made of money.

And thanks.
