Little changes to my little car :)

[Soph]

Had my alloys refurbished at the wheel specialists in Leeds on Monday. My alloys were battered, most of the curbing done by the previous owner and rest by me . Damn curbs get in the way of my parking!

So this is how rough they were before.

and now. Shhhhiny!!!!!!!

I am wait for some renault centre caps to arrive from America any day now.

And what ya think to my new badge?! Match me wheels

Lowered it with Eibach sportline springs (i think) by 30mm - 35mm

Before lowering

and after.

And the latest change, gone from Lexus lights that came with the car, to the original red uns. Wot ya think?

Sorry about the crappy photo quality and two of them on their sides, cant seem to get them the right way round. opps!

Get some ph2 rear lights, and a dynamique spoiler, and you're sorted TBH.

The wheel refurb looks proper good

And need a better side on pic of what ur car looks like after lowering before we can comment on that TBH.

Rear lights are much better

Wheels suite suit the car tbh.
Keep them gd now :approve:

How much did the wheels cost to refurb if you don't mind me asking?

It would of cost around 200quid, but it was a present from my boyfriends parents who own it. But if you get your alloys refurbished at the Leeds branch of the wheel specialist there is a 25% discount and free fit and finish I think it is? might have to get back to you on what the free bit is lol.

 

[Soph]

Thanks Lacey

Sports spoiler.
Super / Ultra Leggeras

[Soph]

*update*

silvervisions are in

 

[Soph]

Latest updates.

I'll apologise for the sideways pics, for some reason they are the right way up in photobucket, but the links for them have them the wrong way.

A new headunit, Kenwood KDC 3514-A (I think), that gaz bought me for christmas. Finally can play mp3 cds!

Aerowipers, silvervisions and some smoked side repeaters.

The painted front calipers, just hammerite smooth red, which was unbelievably runny.

For some reason they are the right way up in photobucket, but the links for them have them the wrong way.

Nice Little Update..... Colour Coding of Front and Rear Bumpers, Wing Mirrors, Door Strips and Door Handles needed next IMO

 

[Soph]

Gaz keeps looking out for wing mirror covers to CC, the drivers one of mine is smashed up. Plus we keep an eye out for the rest to do. I want to buy the parts to CC instead of spraying the existing ones, as it's easier than having parts off the car, I use it 7 days a week.

Breakers Yards, Ebay and Wanted Section should get you everything you need

What you implying?

 

[Dm_26]

Your doing basically the same as me, I'v still to refurb my alloys that the previous keeper destroyed. Mines is a blue clio grande.

Just fitted the ph2 rear lights today. Going to a scrappy tomorrow to find a new front bumper because mine has a slight dent ( previous keeper again ) and hopefully a ph2 rear bumper. Also looking for ph2 doorcards aswell.

 

[Soph]

^^^
Can't hurt to tidy them up with some OEM parts that's for sure.

 

[Soph]

Little progress...

Started working on some door handles to CC.

State of the art spraybooth in Gaz's garage.

The handles in primer. Leaving them to settle for a couple of days as per the guide on here, then will sand out any imperfections, and probably have to give them some more primer.
