Just getting started..

[Firas]

Sorry for the delay richy in getting the pics up man. pics are just crappy phone pics so dont do the car justice. looks much better in the flesh.

Anyways update:

richy's new interior...

Obviously we were not going to get the jack under the car especailly with his 45 profile tyres so had to resort to using bricks lol

These things were an absolute c**t to disconnect. got there eventually didnt we richy

old seats out of richys car

My seats out of the rep. Gave her a hoover while i was at it

Richys new seats(sparco torino 2 recling bucket seats)

Now the rear seats were an even bigger problem. The bolts that hold them down were all rusted and we really didnt fancy drilling them out so we decided to swap covers instead lol. it was very easy to do and looks spot on.

Rusted in scews

during

done!

Richys new 6k hid's

Team heko wind deflectors

 

[ekaJ]

Love it.

 

[richybatt]

cheers matey its no worries was worth the wait haa, the seats are amazing tbh! il need to get some of my custom springs now, might wait till i get them other wheels on when it will be proper slammed, couldnt find any 195/45s for the back so got 195/50 which wont be much of a difference, will keep that nose down look anyway haha! cheeers again matey!

 

[richybatt]

oh, and i got a cracking tan that day haha, mainly due to the fact we started at half ten and finished at like 4 and that was just the front seats haha!

 

[jackfm]

Looking really really good. Just your new wheels to finish it of eh!?

Just to warn you, your new ones have 4mm more offset than your current ones, might make the front spacing pretty tight...
...more camber much?

 

[snick01]

really like it! that front badge reminds me of rudolph though haha

[richybatt]

thanks mate, thinking of selling up, sounds silly i know since ive not had it long, but need something more practical for the 200+ miles a week haha

 

[richybatt]

[Firas]

[richybatt]

[Jimbo-Clio]

Looks really good mate like it alot
Hate the red bits though sorry think would look loads better with black diamonds, bullets and interior strips. Red detailing and stickers if u still want some red on it. thats imo though

You were always gonna get some stick from the CS sheep I'm afraid Rich

 

[richybatt]

tbh i dont mind, like to hear other peoples opinion mate, i dont really take offence at things like that..

to jimbo.. im thinking about getting rid of the wing mirrors for standard ones and getting other bullets, but i like having lairy colours, gets more looks haha. they wont be staying red forever, another lairy colour will be used later on when i can be bothered, because i dont like all black tbh

 

[richybatt]

some more pictures!

with my custom rear springs.

balloon tyres on old wheels, with custom springs, foxys old ones i believe.

 

[richybatt]

going to get black wing mirrors again and maybe do the dash strips black too.

 

[Edd]

[richybatt]

thanks mate, can say the inspiration came from your ph1
