Exclusive +...red?

[Russ_16v]

Well I was desperate to get back onto 15's, and mike came to my rescue by letting me have his OZ's (Big thank again Mike, even though I still think yours looked better with the reds x )

He kindly TNT'd them over to me, and they arrived this morning, so I chucked them on on my lunch break.


Now I think it's going to be a very Marmite choice - and to be honest, I was not sure if Scarab Green and red would go together, as I was just happy to get a decent straight set of F1's, but for some reason I Really like it! Compliments my harnesses lol. Plus the spray job on them is really good, they are near spotless!

First impressions are it's sooooo good to be back on 15's, the drive home was more comfortable and steering feels slightly ligher too


Anyway to the (Frankly terrible) pictures, taken with my Galaxy S - please also excuse the state of the Exclusive, iv not actually washed it in my ownership

Dirty and Green calipers?

 

[Russ_16v]

Dirty and Green calipers?

Yeah, calipers will be black very soon - I was actually worried you may have a mini heart attack when you saw the state it's in lol

 

[JoshOm3]

'Coming to a track day near you'

lol

 

[leeds_182]

Silver would be better for me but quite like the red **** look.

 

[Russ_16v]

I think it will look better once iv bothered to clean the thing lol, the red stands out quite a lot in the pictures due to the Sun, but it is quite a nice mix in the metal

 

[Gareth]

I like it quite a lot actually, works well. Plates make me cringe though.

 

[Gouldy]

Is that Andy Widdops old car ?

Agreed, plates are one of the many things on my list that will be changed

Is that Andy Widdops old car ?

Yes it is mate, came part ex'd in with me with a dead (or nearly dead) engine

[alex-avfc]

Not bad, Is the engine sorted now?

 

[Christopher]

Do you not own a bucket and sponge? Jesus!

If that's your idea of cleaning a car, you'd be better leaving it dirty. Lol.

Please don't do that to the Naples.

 

[Russ_16v]

Ok, feeling a bit guilty for not yet washing it, I gave it a (Very) quick going over in the valeting bay before coming home today:

Oh, got a bit of camber on this one too, rear has been shimmed, but didn't grab any pics

 

[cafcross]

I really like that. Scarab green is a gorgeous colour when in the sun.

 

[Russ_16v]

Cheers mate, it really will shine once it has been cleaned and polished properly

 

[Djw Dave]

I really like that. Give it a proper clean though

 

[Russ_16v]

Meh, thats pretty good for me lol, I think il let someone who knows what they are doing have a go at it soon

 

[TimR26]

Well they match the harnesses...

 

[Russ_16v]

Lol thats the first thing Claire said when I pulled back up at home.

 

[Liamm]

Theres a dark green mk1 clio in Burnley with red wheels. Also a dark green Land rover with red wheels too. At first I didn't like it, but your's looks good probably because it's a nicer green lol

 

[Russ_16v]

Lol cheers mate, the low height helps imo

 

[Rob]

Very nice, get the front raised a bit and some 25mm spacers on the front, 10mm on the back and it'll be perfect!!!!

 

[Russ_16v]

I have been toying with the idea to raise it, not sure on spacers though, not thought about it dude?

 

[Rob]

The f1's look 20x better spaced, they sit nice and flush with the arch and it just finishes it off!

 

[Bluebeard]

Please don't do that to the Naples.

You're right, I don't use a sponge.

I do however use a car brush.

 

[Russ_16v]

I use works valeting bay lol

 

[Silent_Scone]

Could do with a refurb.


:rasp:

 

[Russ_16v]

Shhh you!
