Brilliant car for the money, will look a million times better with the 172 alloys on. Could look into some colour coding aswell?

Yeah going to do the wing mirror covers and maybe spoiler cba with the front bumper not a fan of them colour coded might get a 172 rear bumper but thats about it.

NickMelson · Apr 17, 2011

Few pics from today gave it a clean and painted the front calipers.

It's really coming along Nick, just needs a few bits and bobs here and there and it'll look perfect. Oddly, those wheels have grown on me...

Cheers

Honestly they have grown on me alot >.< Done a few photoshops with white 172 wheels on and it looks out of place, thinking about giving them a referb and spraying them white... not sure tho.
That Obama cant gymkhana sticker will be coming off soon. The front needs to be abit lower but its fine atm

Whiskerz16v · Apr 18, 2011

How you finding the springs? Just on standard shocks?

There crashy but not that bad tbf feel the bumps more due to the 17's and 40 tyres and yeah standard shocks.

James28 · Apr 18, 2011

Looking good. I think colour coding would smarten it up a mile. Pretty cheap if you do it yourself too.

NickMelson · Apr 18, 2011

i like it

Whiskerz16v · Apr 18, 2011

Tbh I'd just either stick the 172s on or get some 15s

NickMelson · Apr 18, 2011

Just havnt got £250 for some tyres for the 172 wheels atm and id love some 15s just finding some cheap

anyone want a set of 5 172 wheels and cash swaps for 15's with tyres maybe?

Whiskerz16v · Apr 18, 2011

How many tyres do you need like?!?

I'm sure you can get t1r off camskill for £30 a corner then most places will fit them for about £10 a corner

NickMelson · Apr 18, 2011

Cheapest t1rs iv seen is £55 i think need 4 195/45/16s

Whiskerz16v · Apr 18, 2011

Oh yeah I'm thinking about for my 15s...
I'm sure if you put them up for sale/swap someone will want them

Whiskerz16v · Apr 18, 2011

Also what springs is it you have? Sits pretty decent on them

NickMelson · Apr 18, 2011

Hopefully :L
There apex 60mm one's i love how it sits at the back front needs to be a little lower tho

Just carbon'd my bullets pics up shortly

K1NGY · Apr 18, 2011

Nice false floor

Is it 3 seperate bits?

Only two bits but the main boot bit has hinges in the middle for easy access

Whiskerz16v · Apr 18, 2011

Hmm that's making me think of waiting a bit longer and buying the apex ones rather than the FK ones I was gonna order...

£40 on Demontweeks at the moment! I just bought mine today.

The car is really nice and I like what you've done with it ! I reckon 172 wheels would smarten it up loads though

Cheers, the dash strips gear knob and hazard panel are all ready done

Cheers man

Ordering my FCS tickets next week then i shall invest in some spray for my 172 wheels then save and get them on before FCS

Whiskerz16v · Apr 24, 2011

sounds like a plan!

talking of FCS i still need to book my ticket too LOL... you camping or being a gimp with a hotel?

i still cant decide between coilovers and deck the fooker or just buy springs and be done with it..... (only going to have the car until july as i leave for the USA )

Driving down in the morning mate only about n hour drive for me.
Coilovers would be better as you can go as low and you want.
Springs are good if you strapped for cash, or if you have a gay 1.2 8v that has 52mm spacing so i can get cheap colies without having to re drill them

Wests Renault · Apr 25, 2011

looking good so far - desperately needs 172 wheels tho

Cheers man, wheels soon i hope then maybe side strips and wing mirror covers colour coded not doing the front bumper and rear bumper hopefully ill be getting a 172 bumper when i get a job...
Nah he aint, it looks alright in the pics but tbh its a state needs to be lower to pull the wheels off and he needs to get rid of the gay front n rear lights and the checkered roof other than that its not bad

Dweeb · Apr 25, 2011

mm yeah lower and rear lights is what i would change!
get him on here

NickMelson · Apr 26, 2011

I shall have to ask him again, i asked him to a while ago but he said he '' didn't do forums'' :L

NickMelson · Apr 27, 2011

Got bored so i thought i would try the spare on to see what it looks like.

Need spacers badly now

Nah just needs more lows

Tuck ftw!

NickMelson · Apr 27, 2011

Yeah defo needs lows,

Not sure if i like them that much

225359_10150567944370691_544630690_18575151_4426026_n.jpg

What other wheels would suit it?

Linder2 · Apr 27, 2011

I reckon sum PH2 197 cup multispokes (speedlines) would look the FBomb

Whiskerz16v · Apr 27, 2011

Even they look too big for some reason :/

Maybe get the centre caps on? Might make a difference

NickMelson · Apr 27, 2011

It's a photoshop

but im not a fan of them tbh

Didnt get center caps

Guy ripped me off was suppose to be sending me center caps and two new tyres... never happened.

Think im gunna sell them and look for some f1's or something similar.
