Tonight's updates

Splitter finally fitted

Colour coded Fog surrounds fitted

Yellow fogs fitted

Colour coded boot lock surround fitted

Pics tomorrow once it's light

58mm hubs ftw! Saving for rokkors now

 

[Whiskerz16v]

That's all for a while apart from getting the cc'd badge back on

Saving for rokkors

Got bits and pieces to sell will get them advertised soon

 

[Rob]

Arguably some of the worst mods you've made so far.

Sticker placement is awful, those DC ones are just too large for there IMO, and the yellow fogs really don't suit it.

Once you've lowered it and refurbed those wheels it'll look good, but those little bits you've just done will still be letting it down.

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Meh I like the fogs,

Not sure on the DC stickers myself but hey ho there on and if it gets a reaction off folk in here it's good to me lol

As you said lowered and refurb are still to come so IMO will be sweet once I get them done

 

[Rob]

Oh, and buy yourself some new plates, it'll really freshen up the car.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Oh, and buy yourself some new plates, it'll really freshen up the car.

Cheap mod too.

 

[Dweeb]

where did you get your smooth wiper blank from?

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Yeah tempted by set of pressed plates can get a set for £26 posted
100% legal too


I bought the blank off stu

It's just a normal plate that's been smoothed over

 

[kerry-w]

Not a fan of the yellow fogs or the new sticker additions at the back, DC ones arent that bad really.

Needs a refurb of the wheels though, what colour you thinking of doing them?

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Meh ones at the back are there Coz I got bored

I've actually got pioneer speakers before anyone says too

Thinking gloss black or anthracite with yellow rim tape

 

[Stu.]

anth wheels are where its at, or illuminous yellow

 

[Whiskerz16v]

stu i think you should get me dealt in on a special price for anthra paint

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Failed MOT the day ball joint, 2 split cv gaitors and a leaking exhaust.. Failed the lambda part too, so must be the sensor that's away as it's had a new cat put in in October

 

[jonzz]

How much it costing to fix mate?

 

[Whiskerz16v]

£30 in parts for the gaitors and ball joint...

I'm currently trying to fix the exhaust

Anyone wanna buy some valver centres or a mk1 stainless exhaust?

 

[jonzz]

Not too bad then.

 

[Stu.]

ill give u a quid for the centeres and trying to sell my exhaust for me, cheers

 

[nathdawg]

Its a 'different' attempt

 

[nathdawg]

Lose the fastcar and pioneer stickers ftw, they scream CHAV! Loving the fogs and wiper blank! Get some pressed plates and do yourself and your car a favour and paint your alloys haha

 

[Whiskerz16v]

They ain't getting done until I've bought coilovers... plus I like stickers

 

[nathdawg]

Haha ok then what else you got planned?

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Nothing, cars getting sold in July

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Looking like I'm just go buy 40mm springs...

Insurance is up for renewal 11th may and with lowering declared it's £700 FC so not bad at all tbh

Once it's lowered will be respraying the vavlvers black, I've strarted buying the paint already lolz

 

[Whiskerz16v]

been offered some KW coilovers for £130... they were fitted for 4 months before car was written off and then taken off... so covered probably around 4-6k... NO c spanners with them so unsure if the fronts are seized or not

then theres a set of BRAND NEW Rokkors are for sale on here for £140 plus postage

so which would you lot go for?

 

[NickMelson]

Go for the rokkors because there brand new btw your front hubs 52mm or 54mm?

 

[Whiskerz16v]

58mm buddy

think im going for the KW mainly just because they are a bit cheaper and the better bit of kit

 

[NickMelson]

Ahh reet >.<

Was the car written off with them on? Because the could be slightly went or something thats why he's selling so cheap

 

[Whiskerz16v]

the car got vandalised, smashed windscreen, dented bonnet, dented roof

its been sitting since 2nd january gathering dust by what he said so think he just wants rid of everything lol....

he said last night he wanted at least 150 for them then today text me saying i could have them for 130

 

[Whiskerz16v]
