First car/clio

[Jon.G]

There was a guy on here with white turbines on a red mk2. It did look really good. Gonna leave it a month or two and see.

Hiya!

Need to get them done white, Or you could of bloody bought mine!

Looking good though, its properly getting there now. More lows?

Hiya!

Were you selling just the wheels or the whole car?

Hiya!

Yup getting some coils as soon as i get payed, just out of curiosity will most ph2 non sport coils fit ph1?

Looks good did you do the bumpers yourself? If so how many rattle cans did you use to do it all as I still need to get mine done :rasp: finish looks really good too, all the halfords stuff?

Like the turbines, just need he door handles in red and the boot surround, dynamique spoiler and PH2 lights

Yehh I did the bumper my self, used a tiny bit of grey primer maybe a 1/4 of a can. About 1.5 small cans of the red ( I used more than necessary cus I didn't want to get too close and ruin it) and about 1/4 can of clear lacquer. It was all Halfords stuff.

The handles and boot release will go red and the fogs and 172 lights are going in soon (maybe tomorrow) spoiler will have to wait and I think i'm gonna stick with ph1 lights cus they are almost solid red and kinda match the paint.

Ohh and thanks to both of you!

Just the wheels. (Sold the car over a month ago)
They are currently on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....67265&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156

I think some are 52mm and some are 58mm on the ph1. Dont quote me on that though.

I would have bought them :/ I would have bought the car tbh ... Did you have them painted or powder coated? and how much of a b**ch was it to keep clean in white?

 

[Italian_Job]

i like it

 

[kerry-w]

Got the other bumper done yet? Waiting for you to finish yours off before I do mine so I can decide on how it looks :rasp:

 

[Baggaley90]

Not yet mate it keeps raining. Got some new tyres today tho will add a pic or two later.

 

[Baggaley90]

New front tyres on, really need to get the rears done now as it's a bit drifty now the fronts have loads of grip and none at the rear.

They are avon somthings haha

Ah bummer, same here really, had nice weather the other day but I forgot I had no primer left :rasp: when I got back it was raining.

I had a flat yesterday and had to put my spare on, thankfully I didnt remove it the day before to replace it with some tyre weld as its actually come in handy one new tyre on the front today though at a nice £49 fitted, balance and the tracking too posted some updates in my thread earlier and might put some more up tonight

 

[Baggaley90]

Ahh sweet i'll have a look mate. These were £65 a tyre fitted, worth it tho gonna get the same for the rear soon

 

[Stu.]

love turbs on non-sports! miss my one

 

[Baggaley90]

That looks mint mate You seem to love your speedlines also was it a pain with brake dust on white wheels? Thinking of getting them powder coated but need refurbing first.

 

[Baggaley90]

Got some mint condition 172 headlights and HID's off DannyR (thanks) And decided I would fit them and my fog lights. I think it looks much better now really sets the car off. Had a few issues finding which cables to cut and to put where but all got sorted in the end (more me being stupid than it being hard).

Comments welcome!

 

[Stu.]

Big improvement! needs some more lows next

Was smoothed off and had a boot popper in it. With a button on the dash lol

 

[Goodj]

Ahh sounds pretty sweet haha. looks good, bet it was a paint to install tho?

I don't know about yellow... I like the yellow fogs on black but i think it looks a bit McDonalds on red! haha

 

[Baggaley90]

Started the day badly as Alex's car got smashed into at fairly high speed. Luckily we are pretty good with the old Tcut.

A few hours later and some elbow grease!

While we were at Robbo's unit thought I would get some new pics.

Also got my Dark Anthracite and Satin Black bullets off Simon @ sprayshack. They look awesome and can't wait to get the side strips so I can get them on the car!

Mint finish

 

[Heez]

THAT DOOR!!

Please tell me it's a different door and not been knocked out! If it's been knocked out, good effort!

Yehh luckily we had a spare door, and some paint. Just had to swap the lock's glass and winder over to the new door.

 

[asrob910]

Was gonna say exactly the same thing! Nice effort on the car looks awesome! Actually loved the idea you had for the steelies, considering it myself haha

 

[Baggaley90]

Some small updates today, got the mirror surrounds back to black as it was too much red. Also got the Boot release surround red instead of white.

Also got my spoiler off paulio78 (thanks) and my Ph2 rear lights off DMH-01 (thanks) the spoiler got wrapped up again straight away and is getting sent off to Spray shack with my badges to get them sprayed Dark Anthracite to match my new bullets

The car looks all sad now without the badges on haha

And one more photo just because there is already like a million haha.

Any comments or ideas welcome

 

[kerry-w]

Looks good are you doing the spoiler in red or arancite(or whatever )

Just get the rear bumper colour coded and it will look great

Thanks, getting the spoiler done in anthracite and then colour coding the rear bumper and adding ph2 rear lights.

 

[Baggaley90]

Spoiler and badges are complete...

Will be putting them on the car as soon as they arrive back to me.
Massive thanks to Simon @ Sprayshack awesome finish

 

[Spankyy]

Thanks, I can't wait either. Could be a while to get it exactly how I want it. But should be looking good after tomorrow if all my parts come

Got these sidestrips in Titanium silver through today (thanks to Sirdave and budgie) Not sure wether to keep silver or paint red to match the car yet. Silver might match the wheels but may be too many colours on the car. I'll see how it looks tomorrow before I decide.

Also when parked at my mates house just had to get a photo. Don't know if it's anyone on here.

 

[Baggaley90]

Had a busy day today. Got a lot done tho

Tried the titanium silver side strips just to see, but they didn't suit so out came the rattle cans.

The sprayed bullets from spray shack.

On the car

The badges, diamond and rear lights were put on. Again the work of Sprayshack

And then finally the spoiler on, same colour as the bullets and badges.

Sorry about the amount of pics. I'm well chuffed on how it looks. I will be giving the car a good clean on monday and probably colour coding the rear bumper when I get chance. Opinions and ideas welcome.

 

[adam172]

i dont get why the spoiler isnt red ? looks good other than that though. keep it up!

 

[kerry-w]

Looks nice getting a rear wiper anytime though?

How did yuo get the fogs to work too by the way? Relays and a switch?

I just liked the colour that the bullets were and thought might look good.

Thanks mate, yehh new wiper blade soon and new aerial (anyone know a good small one) and I spliced the main beam and used that. Doesn't benefit me in the fog but as I don't use the main beam unless there is no one around it doesn't annoy anyone either.

 

[DannyR]

You should have the actual plug to plug the fog light loom into under the passenger headlight in your bumper. Do you want a loom and the stalk for front fogs?

Nice if it wasnt for the weather id have mine colour coded by now too! Havent been able to clean it for 2 weeks because its always bee raining

As for the aerial ive got no idea, need a new one myself too as a carwash snapped it in the middle so ive had to cover it in electrical tape.

 

[Baggaley90]

Gave the car a quick clean today, it really needed it!!

 

[Djw Dave]

Looks really good this. Needs a drop to finish it off.

Thanks mate, coilovers should be coming next month. just need to check to see what the bolt spacing is. is it usually 58mm?

 

[VIICarCare]

[Baggaley90]

Thanks, Tiny update today and a bigger one coming in a week or so.

Basically Re-wippered and removed the sticker from the boot.
