Got my new car today!

[l33th3tr33]

So my mate dropped off my new shed, not been washed since christmas.

Then I naturally gave the love and attention she deserved....... even though the sun has gone down by the time I peeled off all the stickers.

I only had time to get a couple washes in but I'll give her a polish tomorrow. I'm VERY happy with how well the wheels came out, even though they need a refurb.

Does anyone recognize her? The owner before my mate was his brother who was a member on here some time ago.

Nice cup mate.

Nice cup mate.

Thanks

Despite your username making me want to hit something, it's a good looking motor.

Look forward to seeing it tomorrow with some tyre shine, wax and most importantly, daylight!

 

[l33th3tr33]

I do kind of regret the username now, I fancied a change but I'll be changing it asap. EDIT - Can't. Do I need to become a member or wait a year?

Thanks, unfortunately I don't have any wax nor can I get any til the end of the month, paying for the car has cleaned me out unfortunately. As soon as I get payed though it will get the FULL treatment...... DA, restore the headlights, the lot.

I'm also eager to get a decent daytime shot, along with cleaning out the engine bay and scrapping the scorpion backbox that came spare. (I could fit my head in the bloody thing)

 

[Rob]

Ok well if you're polishing please do some tyre gel/shine too! Looks like a nice tidy motor though.

If you become a fully paid member you can probably sell the backbox on here, unless it's really terrible.

 

[l33th3tr33]

I'll see what I can do, if I haven't got any I'm sure my neighbor will. It does have the odd stone chip etc.. but to be honest I've not seen it this clean although it's not had a hard life or been raced. I am very happy with it though!

I'll get my membership sorted at the end of the month, I need another cliosport sticker for the left rear window to match the right that's already on there. I'll stick the box on, it's not bad condition at all, it's in pretty good nick so I'd rather see someone get some use out of it than bin it.

 

[l33th3tr33]

So I managed to somehow lose my brand new bottle of polish So I did one thorough clean including door jambs and under the bonnet, although no pics of that. Wheels will 100% need a refurb after seeing them in the light.

Headlights in need of restoration too.

Not too sure about the cliosport sticker, it's a bit big IMO

 

[jesus]

That sticker is awful! The overall look of the car is slowly improving though, nice one

 

[James1470]

yea make that cliosport sticker go away for a proper decent sized one and it'll be spot on

 

[Chrisgti6]

Nice car, but that cliosport sticker is terrible!

 

[l33th3tr33]

Thank you Which sticker, the CS or DC?

EDIT - bit late there, I was hoping it was the CS that had to go, I quite like the DC one!

 

[l33th3tr33]

I'm easily convinced...........

Looks so much better! Thanks for your guidance guys


Oh, and I done a quick photoshop last night..... Pudsey FTW.

The rear looks so much cleaner with that terrible sticker off!

Car looks good overall!

 

[l33th3tr33]

Thanks After having a good look today I'll never have it spotless, too many stone chips and deep bumper scratches etc.. but what I can keep mint I will!

 

[Oakley12]

Same with mine fella! Unless I call for a full respray

 

[l33th3tr33]

I'd love to have one but I fear I'll need a spare pair of pants for when I hear a quote.
