[Whiskerz16v]

Just an update to show how my spraying is getting on at the moment

Not the best but not the worst...

Need to get them lacquered up once the coat I put on today dries then will get them fitted back on the car then I shall move onto my bumpstrips then finally the spoiler

 

[Whiskerz16v]

I'm go need to reprimer the boot lock surround as made a shite job of it first time :/

Badges just need laquer though so not so bad


Although car had a knocking from osf

Turned out to br driveshaft bye bye £133

Lowering now put back even further so might no get done before leaving for the USA now

 

[kerry-w]

How did you take the boot lock suround off? I was simply going to mask around mine and spray it on the car but now I know theres a proper way :rasp:

Good progress so far also notice you have the S mudflaps on there too, hopefully able to get my hands on a set this Friday now I know they can go on too lol

 

[Whiskerz16v]

You take the plastic in the boot off then theres torx bits that need undone for the lock take them out and pop it off.... Simples....

I'd suggest getting a spare one though as I wouldn't leave it without one lkl

Thanks. Ahh right, yeah ill have a scavenge on ebay I suppose

 

[Knuckles]

Does the ph2 boot button not fit on the ph1? I think it makes the boot look so much nicer

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Nah the indent for the phase 1 is smaller than phase 2... Hence I'm selling tge phase 2 surround I've got lol

 

[todd100]

are they mirror covers your selling? if so have you got any left? i want a set

 

[Stu.]

Turned out to br driveshaft bye bye £133

they see you coming everytime! lol! / be a man and learn to fix your car and save ureself about 120 quid

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Aye mirror caps..... For a Saxo lol

 

[Dweeb]

are those silver door handles you are selling?

 

[Whiskerz16v]

nah its 3 sets of saxo mirror caps lol


gave the car its first real clean of the year so much nicer now


all i need to decide on now is what colour spray the wheels!

option 1) Gloss Black
2) Anthracite
3) Dark Gold (similar to scooby wheel colour)
4) White

opinions on which you lot think would be best

 

[Whiskerz16v]

few pics i took today

since i never put pics up after christmas when i fitted the sub ( or in the summer when i fitted the 6x9s)

and to show the colour match between the badges ive been spraying up... this is before lacquer

and finally to show how minging the car before i cleaned it today

the wheels defo need a refurb tbh.... as per previous post just need to decide on the colour

 

[Whiskerz16v]

this is how stuff started the day.... the rear half of bump strips and badges already had a coat of paint

then some spraying occurred

then badges got some lacquer

and just another couple pics for whoring potential haha

and yes these are smoothed PHASE 1 strips


and as i have said.... opinions on the new colour for the vavlers... my updated choice list is

Matt black
Gold
Anthracite

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Had a brain wave on the way home to make use of a k&n filter I've had lying about for ages...

Took out the filter from the box and used the jubilee to fix the tubing.

Not the best but still gives a bit of induction noise

 

[Whiskerz16v]

might have a go at removing the airbox when i get day light time to fit it a bit better and get a CAF set up too

 

[Craig.M]

You not better off removing the box anyway, would probably be ideal to have some silicone hoses for that as well like from srs or samco

 

[Whiskerz16v]

There's a noticeable drop in power so going to go back to standard when I have free time....

Got a few updates I need day light to photo graph

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Oh hey there

Lock surround getting sprayed just now along with a bonnet badge.

Much happier now

 

[Rob]

Re: That induction kit...

W. T. F.

If you can get the open filter straight onto where the other end of that pipe is connected, then fine, if not, get rid.

You've got about 10 turns too many in that pipe, so no bloody wonder it's causing a bloody power loss!!!!
