Mk2 1.2 simple slow changes.

[carpergt]

Hey all, first post on here, thought i would share my pics and current changes.

Everythings very slow so far,

Final things to save for for now will be new alloys, im thinking possible Rover 25 multi spokes, and spray them black, but not sure yet.....

Good old hub caps have taken a scrapping over the past year or so.

Anyhoo, here we are:

This is when i first picked it up about a year ago.



Then i changed the hub caps and added some ridiculous lights to the front that i took off that same day.


Changed interior light



Changed number plate bulb to LED & massively fudged up the old tint on the rear window, which also go removed.


Changed the front bulbs to H4 super brights (blue tinge) & changed boot light and put all the logos in black, then gave it a clean.



Then Lowered it.


Changed the rear spoiler for a cup spoiler & converted tail lights to ph2 lights, also changed from the super long ariel to a Bee-sting type




Changed the dials to white with a silver surround & painted the clock surround silver too.



And heres how she looks today.




Showing off Clio sport tax disc holder. (Lowlife is the name of a song i like by a band called Theory of a Deadman, they arnt quite a sinister as the name suggests)



Currently waiting for the lights to dry, trying out the smoked look, might keep it.....might not.


Any thoughts guys?

Hello mate, i bought the bulb off ebay for a fiver.

Thanks mate, just fitted some standard fogs, so the after market lights will be comming off in the next week or so. also changed the rear lights, cleaned them up, and just darkened the clear bits, but they will also be cleaned up again sometime this week, both the amber and reversing lights will be replaced with chrome coated bulbs (to give the clear bit a darker colour, then i wont need the tint spray.
Nope, the sticker is far enough over to not be a problem.

Also followed one of the tutorials on here and fitted a second boot light, but this hasnt yet been properly finished, (another project for this week.)

Pic of the new fogs.

Also, going to colour code the bumpers over the next few months, need to source the right colour paint though, last time i did some repair work and respraying, the colour was off (despite it being the correct colour code) I bought a can of Holts MV632, so be weary..... will be going to halfords, or possibly even renault for this one.

All constructive critisism welcome.

Not a fan of the sticker up the side of the windscreen I'm afraid.
