Cheers! Just need to get matching wheels and then its finished.

I really like it, surprisingly, but it's been done well!

I do hate the front plate placement though and if it was mine I'd go with newer shape front bumper.

Thanks alot, Yeah a fair amount of work and effort has went into, I know its only a 1.2 but what the hell its my fun little project and my main goal was for it to be different and stand out.

I was initially wanting to smooth off the newer style bumper but couldn't really find one at the time so just went ahead and used my own as for the plate placement i have no idea where to put it also the plate is getting replaced as that one fell off hence the scuffs in the pics llf

Through in a cheeky interior pic, Please excuse the Gear knob thats now been replaced with a sport knob

Not for me

But admire the work gone into it

Full matte mint green vinyl wrap. Was done in the drive way in 4 days.

 

[Jesse James]

Did you do it yourself? I have been toying with the idea of having a car this colour

My older brother is a vinyl wrapper so got a fair amount of help from him. If it was just me doing it it would have took far longer llf.

That is cool man well my experience with vinyl is limited and poor ha ha

Mine isn't the best either, Don't have the patience but then i just end up getting the nack of it.

I was never the biggest fan of your front wheels. If you get a matching set that will look so good

To be honest i no cant stand the sight of my front wheels so they will just be used as winter wheels now. As for a matching set the other 2 will be ordered on Friday, pay day cant come quicker!

Great effort! Definitely stands out.
I prefer the front alloys compared to the rear ones. Could you wrap the rear cage in the same colour?
I'd actually think about colour coding the side strips to black. It would work well as a 'dividing' line around the car - alongside that black bumper strip on the rear.
This would look epic with a full roof glass - targa style. Might cost a fortune, mind!

Ahh that must have been you I saw disappearing down a lane in Forfar a few weeks ago

Ive probably seen you about.

Cheers yeah i probably could wrap the cage but would be easier spraying but i like it white as it matches the wheels.

As for the side strips i fitted them on black to begin with as they were already wrapped gloss black but they looked out of place. Might have a pic somewhere to let you see.

haha a panoramic roof would be awesome but Clio sunroofs leak as it is.

Once all 4 wheels are on then thats it. Don't think ill spend any more money on it. Well maybe new seats but that would be it.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Love the colour! Any idea how much that'd normally cost? Nice to see something different on here I would personally get a 1*2 bumper though and put the number plate in the middle to finish it off.

Cheers, Yeah it would normally cost around £600/700ish rough estimate of what my brother would charge as a homer. No idea how much it would cost from a company though.

Yeah a few people have mentioned a sport bumper but since iv put time and effort into smoothing my non sport one i would hate to remove it.

Plus i really like the smoothed look

 

[Wee_Billy_92]

Quick pic now it's got all 4 new wheels on.

On show at British Drifting Championship at Knockhill.

 

[rctempire]

Get yourself to a scottish meet!

Cheers man! Yeah im going to need to at some point like. Been waiting for to finish the car off before i go to any meets/shows. Was lucky i got my wheels delivered and fitted on Saturday or wouldn't have been on stand on Sunday at the drifting.

Glad it did get finished though was getting about the same attention as all the jap metal sitting about lol!

 

[Le Baguette]

What's the wheel specs and final offset if you don't mind me asking?

 

[LeeRS]

I would get a vinyl sticker numberplate on the bonnet, next to the headlight.

 

[GRitch]

Really like that colour mate, looks good. Did you buy those seats of of Kieran? Think they're possibly my old ones?

after seeing the vinyl number plates. I think i am going to get one. Would look a lot cleaner.

 

[Wee_Billy_92]

What's the wheel specs and final offset if you don't mind me asking?

Wheels are 15x8j et15and on the rear they are the same but with an added 5mm -1.5 degree camber spacer. Running 195/45/15 tyres

Previous wheels were 15x7j et37 with 25mm hub centric spacers all round plus the camber spacers on the rear. With the same tyres.

No offence mate, but it looks bloody dreadfull.

That's in my opinion, each to their own etc...

Glad it's only a wrap and you didn't spend ££££s on a respray.

 

[ash172rs]

Like it nice job! Nice to see something different
