whats else should i do, at the mo plans are:

-put ph2 valver alloys on

-exhaust

-lower 50 back 35 font (or are there better drops in terms of ride, looks etc?)

colour code some things, like eyebrows, but il do that if i do the rest eg grille etc

oh and im also looking for a ph2 grille, preferably white

 

[mattrt]

question, when spraying plastic, how do you get the end result to look shiney like the metal?

 

[steamywindows]

your list is good but go for wheels and springs then colour coding etc the people across the street own a clio too

 

[patty]

btw i wouldnt spray too much white.... trust me it looks like a fridge on wheels then....

 

[patty]

oh and phase 2 bump strip on boot!!

 

[cat171]

i must be blind !!
to me it looks like you have just put the rt badge in the grill,put a spoiler on it, got a new set of plates & added a set of headlght brows ?
what else have you done to it?

new fogs...

headlight brows..

and rt badge in grill...



so one more thing than you! lol

its only a start tho dude... give him time

 

[mattrt]

lol mate cheers for that, waht about the ph2 rear lamps? my car did not come with an RT badge either. also have full ph2 valver interior, as can be seen on my other posts. the whole point is with the little money i have iv made it look cleaner and better.thats what im showing, not actually heavy mods lol . when you paying 1800 tpft for a car worth £600 its hard to do anything



the fridge comment, ya i did think that lol

 

[cat171]

lol ur welcome to join me at specsavers on monday when i go

 

[BRUN]

we all have to start somewhere, the valver spoiler makes the rear look a mile better mate

if your gonna have those brows on though id colour code them myself

id concentrate on wheels and suspension next, if your after a cheap suspension kit Bilstein Streetline kits can be had for about £190

 

[mattrt]

lol you guys. so i should spray the grey bits gloss black? be aot easier, as the white probably wont match

should i go black then you think?

 

[patty]

agreed^^ and stick to 15s and a 55mm drop...

 

[patty]

that last post was agreeing to bruns post...

black is best imo.. i can post u 2 pics to compare if u like?

 

[mattrt]

yes mate, if you would i kinda like the black breaking up the white

cheers brun what are the k-tec spring up to, theyre only £35 then of course its all torsion on back

[BRUN]

well if you can afford it, get a full kit mate, the shocks have to come out anywayz and chances are they are shagged being 10 years old

 

[mattrt]

nice , i cant decide. il prob go with the black, being 10x easier,

so all the grey trim black, or colour code some?

very true as if u upgrade the springs and wheels and the dampners ie on you then ur bottom end will be shagged...

difference in the cars road handling is worth the £££ tho imo!

 

[mattrt]

are the handles easy enough to gt off?

 

[patty]

u have to remove the operating rod from the clip... not amazingly easy to do when u cant see what ur doing!!

 

[m4rk]

change back to the old number plates, those ones make it look messy

 

[mattrt]

sorry mark but have to disagree with you, plus they said northern refridgerators on them lol. oh and my sis would kill me, they were my bday presents, which was 2 weeks ago!

 

[Nightfire]

Patty, your car looks sweet! One thing looks out of place in them pics though, but I have no idea what!

[Djw Dave]
