Coops, the temptation is always there. I have to keep resisting . Don't want to ruin it. OEM+

Servicing and the Mounts (for Christmas) will do me for the year I think. See what next year brings .

Pre Winter Detail

Gave the car it's pre-winter detail today. Probably won't wash it again now until next year.

Products used (minus the usual foaming etc):
- AF Tripple (impressed with it, for a hand product)
- Z2 x2 layers
- Dodo Banana Armour x2 layers (just so that it looks decent for a few days )

So, it started the day like this:

Wasn't too dirty tbf. Properly covered in tar though...

My arsenal:

Snow foam y0:

Iron-X urgh:

After a layer of Tripple. Impressed with how it worked and was easy to use:

Post 2x layers of Z2 (before application of Dodo)

I was having a right battle all day with spiders. Seriously. My car was covered in them!! Literally crawling all over. Kept blowing onto the car. My dad's car was covered in them too.

Few afters...

And finally, a photo that i've messed around with and tried colour splatting again... meh

Awesome.

RE: spiders

i went to egp my car today, couldnt be arsed yesterday.

and these little s***s were allll over it

 

[Harpham]

Pain in the arse. The ones coming onto mine we're all baby spiders. Literally cobwebs we're flying all over the place and they kept landing on mine & dad's cars. The amount that flew into my face too was doing my nut in. lol
I opened a can of "whoop-ass" on them all.

 

[Knuckles]

lol i just gassed them to death with egp... i blew them off when i was putting it on, and they mustve came back while it was hazing as my car was full of fly/spider corpses when i came to remove it haha

 

[AK]

Ugh spiders.

 

[MicKPM]

I still can't believe how well this car looks considering how sorry it looked when it came in for belts. It really is a credit to you mate.

 

[Harpham]

Cheers Mick. Appreciate that. Especially seeing as you saw it in it's original state. It's come such a long way since January!

I may be a mechanical r****d, but yeah, I will make this car look mint!! (Ill leave the mechanical side of things to you, with the occasional input from Gray Motorsport :rasp


In other news, I think I have a slow puncture on one of my rear tyres, FFS!! I should also have a little goody coming early next week .

 

[Adamm.]

Love that mate looks mint.

Bet you're glad you approached the old owner now eh haha.

 

[lewisflintham]

Paul, in your "Arsenal", what were the air fresheners, wooden spoon and spatulas used for? Only kidding. Looks great.

 

[Stu.]

Looking at yours makes me wish mine was standard fs! Looks great.

 

[Coops Mk1]

looks blummin lovely, i can honestly say this is the nicest phase 1 i know of/seen in the metal

 

[Harpham]

Cheers guys. Much appreciated!!

Coops, we need to sort a photo session out with the RB before mine gets too dirty (not being washed until next year now).


Hopefully will go full anal on the paintwork next year and actually give it a proper detail, without my DA breaking lol.

 

[Harpham]

Just took delivery of this...

Thanks Jamie!!
Haterz gon' hate and all that, but I used to have one on my old Ph2 Flamer, which I loved, so when this came up for sale, I just had to have it. Don't think it looks as good on a Ph1, but meh, RACE CAR!!
I can see how these things cannot be stolen on a Ph1 though. Had to use a brace just to get it in LOL.
(I've just realised too that as soon as I sort my bumper stickers out, i'm going to have to remove this, ffs!!)

 

[welshname]

Easy to remove, long bar through the hole and twist.

Also been speaking with Syn0b. As he wants some too, I've cut you're but they're at Kurts, somewhere...Sy is going to make me a card template of the bumper bits to use so that they're perfect.

"I've cut you are".

Cool. Ill pester Syn0b daily to get some templates sent over to you then.

 

[Jon.G]

What stickers are this Paul?

 

[Stefan.]

tow eye doesn't look to bad, but they are still gay none the less!!

 

[Harpham]

What stickers are this Paul?

They're the bumper inserts for a Ph1. Basically 4 squares in each corner of the middle grill thing on the bumper. Renault want £35 for them, so i'm going to Rhys for the pikey spec version.

It'll improve the front end loads when i've sorted those.

 

[Jon.G]

They're suppose to be black? Never knew that!

 

[Harpham]

Winter Spec Mode

So, winter mode is officially in action. Had my last real outing on the bike for the year this morning, so my rear seats have gone back in. Also took off the flowers from the rear view mirror.

Hooray for rear seats.

Should make the rear sit properly/a little lower now.

Hopefully, it'll be fine over the winter period. Sym0n should be pulling his finger out this week and looking at getting hold of the servicing bits that we need.
It's already looking dirty ...

 

[Rob]

Really very tidy, but it needs a ph2 interior/dash.

+1.

Never knew about the black bits on ph1's bumpers. Never ever seen one like it.

 

[Harpham]

Rob, it isn't happening. LOL

The Cup Spoiler is enough Ph2 for my liking.

 

[Djw John]

Mine still has some of it, needs taking off and redone but it can wait till its painted

 

[Djw John]

Actually it's daves that does! I knew one of mine had them!

on my phone but I think you can see them in these pics

 

[tommy g]

Put a phase 2 grille in like I did with my phase 1. Requires alittle bit of work but look great once done.

 

[welshname]

Wait you've got ALL the lines on yours blacked out...

 

[MicKPM]

Paul, seriously... Don't!

I know that one day Kirsty and I are gonna get married on top of a mountain, and there's going to be flutes playing and trombones, flowers and garlands of fresh herbs. And we will dance till the sun rises. And then our children will form a family band. And we will tour the countryside and you won't be invited.

 

[Harpham]

If you look at the photo that I took at CSS of Stu and my car, you'll see the difference the bumper inserts make.

FLOL. Don't worry. No more Ph2 parts will be going near the car. Does this mean that I can have an invite?
Aesthetic wise, this car is pretty much how I want it to be, minus a few finishing touches that ill sort next year. Oh and some major anal detailing work.
I won't rest until it's the cleanest Sunflower and Ph1 around!!
