Yeah the only problem with it is the filler has cracked so I need to look into wrapping it as it'll keep doing it.

I know long ol time! Look forward to seeing everyone again!

 

[AlexW]

I've seen you a little too much tbh.

Just saying.

 

[meekings14]

You should feel honoured to work on such a mighty orange turd. And to have my company while doing so!

 

[dmallett]

That sucks Joe, any excuse to wrap something

Alex I see alot less of you than I used too lol

 

[meekings14]

I hate wrapping stuff! Painting is much easier!

I owned the f**king thing, I've had enough of working on it... lol

This is true, Its only cause you threw everything away.

 

[meekings14]

Hahaha you can never have enough of the Jaffa much more work for you to do still so get used to it

 

[meekings14]

Soo mini update, nothing special really, went to CSS which was a bit "meh" to be fair, not a patch on previous years, none the less good to see everyone again!

Progress wise I've only really been playing with a small boot build as monies are tight.

So here's my little update;
Being A clio I find it makes sense to carry a tool kit with me! So I wanted to hide it out the way so it looks neat and tidy so my aim was just to build a false floor over it.
Like so...

Decided against the clio badge on the box.
To finish it up I want to hide some white LED lights in the corners next to the parcel shelf.

Not everyone's cuppa but I love my car audio!

And here's a few pics from pre CSS!

And the one photo I took of it at CSS

More soon...

 

[AlexW]

Gay.

 

[meekings14]

Gay.

I could have put money on you being the first to pipe up you bellend

 

[AlexW]

Subscribed to thread, just happened to refresh page.

Besides, odds won't have been good, no bookies would take that. and you're a bellend.

 

[meekings14]

Well long while since I've posted anything,
soo not a lot has changed but I did get round to fitting my boot lights which make a lot of difference! Helpful at night too!

And had some APcoilovers fitted at the weekend as the eibachs weren't low enough for my liking!

Before

After

Excellent driveway clearance too

Just had some orange belts delivered out of a twingo along with a ph1 gearstick so that should smarten up the interior a bit!

few more bits I have in mind before Xmas is upon us again!

Comments and criticism welcomed as always!

 

[Dan...]

Nice updates, are the boot lights easy enough to add?

I think I may have a photo of your 182 at CSS, I'll find it for you :smile:

Edit -

[meekings14]

Cheers

And yeah very! Was just some daytime running light strips that I've spliced into the boot light loom. About 20minutes work and I'm a dunce with that kinda stuff!

Nice photo thanks!

 

[dmallett]

The photo from CSS really shows the height difference! Once youve had the tracking done this will be sweet

 

[dann2707]

Too much going on at the front end imo (yellow fogs, french sticker, black bit, f1 sticker) but other than that I like it

 

[meekings14]

Soo another mini update...
The other half got me my birthday prezzie early as it was an impulse buy! But I now have orange belts out of a twingo, and a ph1 gearstick courtesy of @dmallett

Thanks @AlexW for helping me fit them...

In other news the missus has just got herself a 172! I'll either get her on the forum or have a thread up for hers too!

Reminds me of my dci just faster!

 

[AlexW]

Better update than usual. Good job.

 

[InfernoPaul]

@meekings14 where abouts did you get the front black bumper strip done

 

[meekings14]

Me and @scaryopa wrapped them cost about £5 in wrap of a Ebay not a difficult job just took some patience

Cheers, what size spacers and suspension do you have on it

 

[meekings14]

20mm front and 15mm rear. It's on AP coilovers but no idea on the drop. Just went until arch gap went the rear will be coming down more soon hopefully!

How much is there left to go on the AP's?

Had them on my A3 as they're highly rated in the VAG world and I loved them but just wish they went a touch lower.

 

[meekings14]

The rears have minimal room left to come down. Prob remove the rear helpers to get the last 10/20mm out of them but the fronts are only like half way down so they could have it on the floor, just the rears, although I don't want to go much lower at the back as it will drive crap

 

[meekings14]

Soo as my car has done a good few 000k since getting the belts done I figured it was due an oil change, so genuine oil&filer was used so that's done for the winter months.

While doing that I got myself a new splitter as I wanted some fake lows. Soo a laguna splitter was fitter

Along with that I fitted some LED lights the same as my boot ones in the footwells that just work when the car is unlocked or doors are open.

They don't work once the car is started so no "chavy neon comments" just makes it look nicer

Still got many plans for it but xmas has cost me a small fortune already so won't be anything till the new year!

 

[dmallett]

lows? looks high to me

Actually rather like them foot well lights, didnt pay any attention you fitting them yesterday so ill have a ganders next time i see you!

 

[meekings14]

Just because you can only just about run over a fag paper without it scrubbing

And lol! Hopefully Saturday then

 

[dmallett]

Ill be there saturday, just when I finish work ha.

Mine aint that low!

 

[meekings14]

SOOO another mini update, got myself some hydro dipped carbon parts as they were a steal! So I got a front grill, door pulls and grab handle and speaker covers!

Although I now want to get more carbon...

Also tidied up the bay a little more and painted the inlet and fuel rail guard along with the throttle body. Looks much better IMO

On the down side to everything I bagged myself 3points and a £100 fine for wheelspinning out of a junction ): stupid move on my behalf but a harsh punishment being my first ever offence :/

Happy Christmas and all that....

 

[gareth1886]

Where did you acquire the coils also what price where they

 

[meekings14]

I got them second hand for £250 but there like £460-£500 new I think.

Very comfy ride for a coilover so ideal on a daily IMO

 

[gareth1886]

Super matey thank you

 

[Loz H]

Loving the carbon mate!

Was good to meet you!

 

[Jekyll]

Looking good Joe Never noticed the floor lights be for but they look smart.

Who's is the Rush in the background? 2ltr pinto?

 

[AlexW]

Mark, thats the one I spoke to you about, at work.

Inferno looks so s**t there, I admit it looks much better now.

 

[Darius]

Needs carbon mirror covers

You have to have a look when I next see you, and it's a customer of my friends as I'm sure Alex has spoken to you about by the look of it

Mark, thats the one I spoke to you about, at work.

Is that almost a compliment @AlexW

Needs carbon mirror covers

NO DARIUS I DONT WANT THEM [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

 

[meekings14]

Soo today I got an early xmas prezzie of the misses because I got her private number plates for her car which transferred quicker than anticipated for a change!

So I now have this stunning wheel trimmed by the master snappy himself!

Couldn't wish for a nicer wheel. It's such a quality bit of craft

So until the new year folks!

Happy xmas!

 

[Jekyll]

Snappys work is fantastic.

 

[dmallett]

Your car lets that wheel down.
