Mossy's Cars

[mossyv6]

Thats a great price :smile:

I thought it was but it is a while since I have had paint done tbh.

 

[mossyv6]

What a stunning collection of cars, top work there chap........ defo worth a double thumbsup :up::up: haha did you have the V6 nearly new? That's really interesting you've had it 11 years, hopefully a keeper and not one to sell.

As for the 5 GT Turbo, any more photos? The mix of low's and wheels on an otherwise standard looking car looks great, just as i'd want one myself!

P.S. this LY is going to be a car to watch, great attention to detail

Thanks matey, yes had the vee from 1 year old hardly ever drive it tbh but when I do its awesome - the noise, the presence etc. Still feels like a new car to me. And yes the gt will be a great car when I finally get to finish it, lol. I will try and dig some photos out.

Thank you, much appreciated, it's on the to do list so am keeping my eye out for decent bodyshops and don't mind travelling to find one :up:

No what your saying mate.

 

[182_steve]

Yeah I know what your saying there with the vee, it's the same for my 182, I don't use it very much so when I do, just makes it feel a bit more special as it's not out all the time

 

[20vKarlos]

It's funny isn't it, how we can get out of the daily used car, get into another car and have it feel completely different!

I know it's not a comparison but when I get out of my Superb 170bhp, and get into the wives Alhambra, the 15bhp difference is awesome.... but it's the paddle shifting that does it for me, I'm driving a BUS and yet it feels like I'm driving a go kart 😂

 

[SharkyUK]

Very nice, Paul! Not a bad collection at all mate!

Thanks matey.

You got that Trophy back yet?

 

[SharkyUK]

Thanks matey.

You got that Trophy back yet?

No, not yet mate. There's still a few things to be done and bad luck has resulted in damaged parts that need replacing (due to an unfortunate water pipe bursting in the workshop where my car / parts are located). Hopefully it won't be too much longer though.

Looks great. Nice to see someone correcting neglect.

Yes fingers crossed for you buddy and hopefully see in Wales in the summer

Looks great. Nice to see someone correcting neglect.

Thanks matey

A couple of other bits bought:

New floor mats

Late spec RS badges

 

[mossyv6]

Oh and got the Trophy back from the bodyshop and I am over the moon with the quality of work - can't recommend these chaps enough.

 

[Adam93]

Great progress and nice to see a LY 200 receiving some love. I may have missed it but are you planning to change the wheels ? Cup racers ?

Thanks mate and yes changing the alloys is on the list - I have hopefully got a set of Speedline 200's coming to me soon

 

[Chris V6 255]

Love the new LY. Keep looking at 200's myself.

So after a busy Xmas I thought I had do a bit of an update of my thread.

Firstly Trophy update - I got the car back from the bodyshop. Bought the car needing the rear drivers arch and door edges sorting but didn't know a decent bodyshop.
Here's a few photos:
BEFORE:

AFTER:

Suoerb job done.

 

[mossyv6]

Oh and a few bits bought for the 200:
20mm spacers, brand new recaro base, brand new bottom boot trim.

 

[mossyv6]

Oh and my £50 fake speedline alloys. Refurb and see what they look like:

Thanks @glennV6

 

[imprezaworks]

50 for the wheels? Seems great value

 

[Willliams]

Great work Mr Mossy..!

Wishing you and your Mosses a wonderful 2017!

 

[mossyv6]

50 for the wheels? Seems great value :smile:

Yep £50 quid They are actually Megane/Laguna wheels but not far from the speedline design and fit clios.

 

[mossyv6]

Great work Mr Mossy..!

Wishing you and your Mosses a wonderful 2017! :smile:

Thanks Shaun mate. Hope you're doing well pal.

 

[182_steve]

That bodyshop does a damn good job doesn't it!! As you said, hard to find a good one........ doesn't matter where you live lol same all over

 

[VIICarCare]

Can't believe you sold the AG Mossy but the LY looks awesome! One colour I'd like to own.

Great attention to detail!

Tell me about it Dawn still it has let me free some funds up to do something that Renault should have done to the 197/200 = more power

These are now up for sale if anyone interested - £50 to a good home

Reason for sale in a moment :wink:

 

[mossyv6]

So update on the wheels front.

Picked up a set of original black speedlines for a billy bargain price due to one having been curbed. Original plans were to buy another and replace said wheel but after having the tyre removed and a very close inspection it was more surface damage than anything else - step in mossy and his diy skills

 

[mossyv6]

Rub done

Q bond metal applied - amazing stuff

Rubbed down and filler applied

Rubbed down and primed (repeated about 4 times)

Paint applied

Wheels dried (2 hours per wheel)

Above worked repeated on all 4 wheels.

6 hours later and stand back and admire the work

 

[mossyv6]

Also picked up a 197/200 cup spoiler from eBay - painted (not very well but that will get sorted) but never fitted

 

[mossyv6]

Now centre caps.

Always liked these but at £60 plus postage they will have to wait

BUT I have a cunning plan and came to a total of £14

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Wheels and spoiler will make this look awesome.

Thanks mate

 

[mossyv6]

Centre cap update

Caps sprayed same colour as the wheels and decals carefully applied - came out quite well tbh.

 

[Mr Plums]

You have done an awesome job on those mate!

 

[Mr Plums]

Are they satin or gloss black? They look satin in the pics but it might be the light, they look ace.

 

[mossyv6]

They are satin mate - as per original. Was thinking gloss but had them on my AG 200 and were a nightmare to keep clean.

You getting gloss speed lines mate? They do look lovely - when clean

 

[cpaterson76]

not speedlines mate but they are gloss black............

 

[NorthloopCup]

I have no issues keeping them clean! I just wash and polish the car, then park it in the garage and admire it. That's the easiest way to keep gloss black speedlines clean! 😂
