Keep this cars clean look and go silver or leave them black and spend the time and money on topping up the cleaning products.

Car looks great as it is, I really want another one everytime I see it as I haven't ever got time to work on mine lol

 

[MrBlonde]

Dont worry mate the wheels are staying a bright silver!,@Chris_Beer

Im thinking a bright metallic silver to match the wheels at the moment @imprezaworks

 

[Clio_fool]

I'd go silver. Red is too brembo wannabe, yellow too stand out and gold, err well I dunno what to say about that[emoji23]

 

[imprezaworks]

Gheyz

 

[leeds2592]

100% silver.

 

[Mr R.]

100% silver.

Ive already said this.

The need is strong.

 

[182_steve]

100% silver...…. like mine haha...…… or gold at a push but not red or yellow no noooo no

 

[haimsey]

The silver will go gold eventually, I did mine silver. Then they got hot on a trackday and went gold, but not Gold Member gold, just a tinge

 

[Mbeau]

100% silver!

 

[MrBlonde]

Will try to get this done over the weekend,i bought silver in the end.

 

[182_steve]

You know it makes sense!

 

[MrBlonde]

Just done them,not the best job as calipers were still in place,but still looks good.will do a proper job soon.But first impressions it looks so much better and almost a freshen up!.will post a photo tomorrow once dry.

 

[imprezaworks]

[MrBlonde]

Haha i know mate,half of it was hanging out then i opened the bonnet guts all over!,was some dragon fly i think.

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, was being the word!

 

[Chris_Beer]

Nice calipers !

 

[Brigsy]

Looks epic, cant beat a nice clean 172cup. So tempted to get a decent one before the prices go right up.

 

[MrBlonde]

Nice calipers !

Haha thanks mate,not red tho.Could do with doing again properly taken off etc.

Thanks mate,its got some minor war marks but it is my daily and goes on many road trips,Should be going into the bodyshop some time this year to get a bit of paint work done. @Brigsy

 

[MrBlonde]

So this weekend i met up with @Dr Jekyll for Tinker day at Marks work.
I wanted to fit a new lower splitter while Mark did some prep work on his RB.

Also Will was there to who was also doing some bodywork on his R26,after seeing and looking over Will's R26 the urge to get one is even more now!.

 

[mart.z.s]

Love this. Exactly what I’m looking for in a cup when I can find a Cup!. If the urge for the R26 becomes too much let me know ?

 

[MrBlonde]

Thanks mate,not mint but clean & well looked after.
I'll see when i move with my financial position on the R26,would be nice to keep the Cup also.But might need to sell to fund the R26,but will keep you in mind. @mart.z.s

 

[Jekyll]

It was a good day.

Wills R26 makes me want one too!

 

[MrBlonde]

It was a good day.

Wills R26 makes me want one too!

Do it mate after we have both moved!??

Not sure what colour to get tho

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, not quite yet.

Will keep the RB for a few years yet. But I'm a sucker for white or red.

 

[mart.z.s]

Clean and well looked after are the 2 main things you want to look for! And cheers, please do bear me in mind in the event of me still looking.

[182_steve]

Thanks but,a couple are by @Dr Jekyll

Your secret is safe with me

 

[MrBlonde]

So ive had to prices off a couple of Bodyshops to do the Cup.
Ive got a little bubbling on the rear lower arche,just before the front of the wheel part.

Hybrid Motorsport in Harlow have gave me a price of £600,that will be repair & both reat panels sprayed but no Courtesy car.

Other place is

Bodyworx in Great Dunmow,there have priced me £1800 which they will repair cut out the rust,both rear panels & both doors sprayed.He said he would need to also remove both rear windows also & i would get a courtesy car to.

I guess i need to now is get another price from one more shop.

 

[Jekyll]

Dropped you a text Steve.

 

[yeecup]

1800!! Wow. Seems a lot . Could buy another cup for that lol
