Re: newbiee first carr

RS grille, colour code side strips + bumper inserts

 

[Brett]

Put the rear lights back to standard, remove the tints and turn the fogs off and that's a nice first car.

Seriously though, don't drive around with your fogs on. Nothing screams chav more.

Enjoy the car matey.

 

[ClaireM]

Kind of off-topic , but was wondering what you used to clean you're engine up ?

 

[joshhgee]

fog lights are annoying and make you look like you should be in maccies chatting up 12 year olds imo.

[joshhgee]

colour coded front bumper and door trim next week!! exsiteddd

 

[joshhgee]

bumper trim bin dropped off, picking back up later tnite pics up soon!!

 

[kerry-w]

Good plans so far

With the rear lights whack them on ebay, you will more than likely get £30 odd for them, which is around the price the standards go for so should be a free task

 

[danzel]

i thinkkkk youuuu shoulddd getttt differentttt rearrr lightssssss

 

[Cw Tuning.]

good base here dude

 

[joshhgee]

purchased a clay kit, don't know whether its a good 1 or not but here some pics no bumper inserts yet i haven't got round to getin them from my mates house yet -_-

[joshhgee]

areo wipers ordered and team heko wind deflectors plus a new aerial the 1 i brought was crappp!! should i paint my calipers red or another colour?? the drums are goin black!!

 

[Billy.]

How much did you pay for colour coding?

 

[joshhgee]

i brought a qauter litre of the paint for £11 from local paint shop then my friend sprayed them for a bottle of vodka youll need to get some clear laccure too and plasic primer u can get thyat from halfords for about £8 each i think
