Few new pics..

[m0ssy]

Although not very good ones.... Need to take some with my proper camera but I never have it with me so all I ever seem to post up are crappy phone pics.

As I said they are crap quality, MAY get some better ones tommorow remember to take my camera out and get a minute between xmas shopping.



Plans for future are:

• Fix rear wheel bearing to stop constant VERY annoying droning
• Cup racer tow eye with tow decal (awaiting delivery)
• Cup splitter (awaiting delivery)
• New style RS rear badge
• Remove rear adjusters for another 5mm drop
• Get coilovers professionally set up
• Wheel refurb in either anthra again or silver (still not made up mind!)

...and then probably just take it from there really.

Comments welcome as always

I really like that, i want your wheels, want to swap

 

[Leeshez]

Looks nice

 

[Guppy]

looks nice.

would keep the wheels that colour. look dark now simply because of the weather. will look real nice in the summer in the sunlight!

+ cup spoiler too!

 

[Timmay]

loving that

 

[clio_luke]

looks lovely that!
like the plans but i would keep the wheels darker. not really a fan of silver wheels.

as guppy said above... get a cup spoiler on that list too! and get a better camera!

 

[m0ssy]

Thanks for all the comments. Yeah need a cup spoiler too, I'll keep looking 'til I find a bargain!

Yeah sometimes think the wheels look too dark because you can't see or even notice them in this light but might look better in the summer like you say.

I've got a better camera just been using my phone as I didn't have it with me lol

 

[Tigger]

Love the stance & the last pic looks very mean for some reason

 

[clairemae]

[Fletcher]

Liking that... the cup splitter/ spolier will finish it off nicely!

 

[Craig]

[Fletcher]

Update: Couldn't use proper camera today as GF has borrowed it for her works' Christmas doo tonight..

Went over to a mates unit today though and managed to get a few more photo's he took on his N95 though and strangely they seem to have come out better than mine?? Will upload in a sec.

Also have dropped the rear of the car a little more now by removing the rear adjusters, however the pics do not show that as it was dark by this time

 

[Android]

looks sweet bud

 

[Fletcher]

^^^what's it lowered on??

 

[m0ssy]

FK coilies mate

 

[leeds_182]

Slammed!

 

[m0ssy]

Pics my mate took..

Again not the best but I'll try and get some proper ones over the weekend with the new ride height too

 

[Tigger]

What's happening with the coilies?

 

[m0ssy]

Just removed the platforms on the rear for a little more drop

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good mate.

 

[m0ssy]

Thanks mate

 

[Tucker]

where do the springs sit if you remove the platforms?

are they alright just resting on the rear beam?

 

[m0ssy]

No, sorry mate I wasn't very clear. I've just removed the adjusting part not the full platform so they sit exactly the same, just they no longer adjust as they are as low as they will possibly go now lol.

 

[GarethM]

very nice

 

[Curley]

Keep the turinis anthracite! looks good

 

[DebV6]

I do love Monaco with anthracite turinis!

 

[superbenji88]

the first pictures from morrisons just off Chorley Old Road?

 

[Christopher]

That looks spot on

 

[Christophe]

looks lovely. I'd paint wheels silver personaly

 

[Alexander]

Love the colour scheme!

 

[m0ssy]

It is Morrisons off Chorley Old Road mate, well spotted.

Thanks for all the comments.

Nothing much to update yet. The cup racer tow eye and tow decal came but I've not fitted them yet, also recieved my top strut washers and shiney new Renault diamonds for the wheels, which will be fitted when I refurb them.

Got some time off work from the 1st to the 12th Jan so going to be busy refurbing them and sorting the other niggles out then

Still undecided on the colour the wheels are going to go, and peoples opinions are very mixed too, so not sure atm. Will be updated next week......

 

[Ali]

Pretty nice.

 

[R20 CWH]

like that chief.

 

[Curley]

I'll say it again... keep them antracite
