Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/Wilwood/2118

[Dan519]

I guess there's no way to do it without removing the bumper though. Effort. :dapprove:

4 bolts, 6 trim clips, 2 plugs and 2 water pipes. few minutes work

 

[oliver.james]

Thanks, Danny!

 

[Davis]

Carbon bits look great Ollie, bumper off is not to hard ive done it a few time on my old RB.

Ill have to sort out coming over meeting you for a few snaps and you old diamond.

 

[oliver.james]

I'll hopefully get that and the splitter done tomorrow, or over the weekend sometime.

Yeah! Need to arrange photos and the diamond mate. :approve:

 

[Kieran..]

love the fogs! look awesome!!

 

[oliver.james]

Sorted. New carbon splitter and headlight washer blanks were sorted this afternoon.

Just need to leave the washer blanks to dry properly overnight before tidying up the silicone neatly around edges.

 

[Hixle]

Looks hard as fcuk from the front now! Awesome work mate.

 

[finch wxm]

love it dude

 

[Keith185]

Awesome. Fancy writing a guide on how to take bumper off Ollie?

 

[v16daf]

It's easy as pie mate, few bolts here and there and it's straight off, give it a go, the main bolts that hold it on are in the arches, then take the bolts off the front arches, remove the black plastic grill under the bonnet away and it basically pops out. Really is easy

 

[oliver.james]

Thanks! Really happy with how the front end looks now!

 

[cosmicremedy]

Does look very nice that Ollie, good work yet again...

Thanks, if I get stuck I'll be PM-ing you both then

 

[Daz.]

Hmm not a fan of the blanks if I'm honest, with those and the bonnet catches it just looks like random black stickers!

Tek'em'off!

Where in Gwynedd do you live mate?

 

[adam172]

need carbon wing mirrors now! looks hard as btw!

 

[oliver.james]

Thanks guys! It will have carbon wing mirrors some time soon.

I'll most likely order a few bits at a time. Overall however, they'll be rear diamond, rear bumper trim, bullets, mirrors and dash strips.

Completely blown away by the quality and finish of the Streamline stuff, really good imo.

 

[Stefan.]

looks amazing, i bought carbon front badge of streamline and i too was blown away by how good it came out. get what you pay for though! keep up the good work.

Tek'em'off!

I love this car, but i have to agree. I think the catches and carbon blanks is too much. if you lost the blanks or the catches it would look awesome. Might look better in person.

 

[oliver.james]

I need to start looking for a new head unit soon too, as mine is playing up a bit!

It's an expense I didn't want, but can't be helped I suppose; I've had the existing one for around 3-4 years now.

 

[oliver.james]

Timed it right with the weather and gave the car a clean today. (It's now raining seriously heavy!)

Hopefully tomorrow if the weather is alright, I'll give the car a going over with the DA polisher again.

Tucked away in the garage clean for tonight though;

 

[Mr Pants]

Lush!

I always think pictures rarely do carbon stuff justice as opposed to seeing the car in the flesh but that shows it off pretty nicely indeed.

 

[LIL B]

Would have been nicer to mimic the plastic mesh on the bottom grill.

Instead of essentially having 3 different style grills on the front of one car.

 

[leeds2592]

Looks mean.

I love it!

Thats a great idea! Ollie get yourself a second hand lower grille and chop it up to fit behind the fogs...

 

[oliver.james]

Hmm nice idea, but I can't see the lower grill plastic looking right in the fog light holes. I'm really happy with how my super duper ripspeed mesh looks lol!

Also, to update in here, today I decided to get the DA polisher out; it's been just over 3 months since it was last done, so it was about due.

I washed yesterday with dodo juice supernatural shampoo, then today cracked on with polishing and waxing.

As before, I used the Menzern polishes again. I did a couple of passes with a polishing compound (PF2500) on a polishing pad, followed by a couple of passes with a finishing compound (SF4000) on a finishing pad. Then, I used a couple of waxes; Dodo Juice light fantastic, followed by Dodo Juice Supernatural.

Really happy with the results, it's produced a deep shine (especially considering it's a silver car) and should give loads of protection from the waxes too.

I think it's the best results/finish I've had from detailing the car tbh!

And, as posted elsewhere, in the underground carpark at Waitrose earlier today. Great lighting down there for photos.

 

[Kieran..]

whats the splitter like? i take its better than the carbon one from ktec?

 

[oliver.james]

The quality of the splitter is fantastic, like any item from Streamline really.

It must be fractionally slimmer than the K-Tec splitter, as I can get up my drive without scraping now!

 

[Jekyll]

That last pic is pretty awesome. Wasn't too sure on the carbon washer blanks on a silver car but seems to work really well.

 

[-J-]

Looks Great Ollie, Really fancy some Bonnet Catches for mine but -

1. My Bonnet is dented to fook
2. I have not got the balls to cut holes in my bonnet.

Im ditching the Carbon bits on my car I think, Splitter is ruined by stone chips, I dont like the Rear Bumper insert anymore and my Fog Light surrounds came unstuck LOL (Although I may keep these.

 

[Adam_vxR]

that is one very smart clean clio very nice mate looks like alot off effort has been put into it

 

[BIGASH]

As said before the car look great and as you say I think the mesh for the fog's looks great

 

[Eddie.]

Just been through all 78 pages, my god, I love this! Serious hero points for everything, love your attention to detail!

 

[domsclio182]

Do you take this car on track ollie?

 

[Adamm.]

Thanks. I'm really happy with how they look actually.

The metal on the bonnet is pretty thin actually, meaning it's pretty easy to cut through!

Luckily, an aerocatch replaced a dent on mine haha

It's a shame I had to buy so much mesh. They only did it in one size, so I've got 90% of it left! lol

Thanks!

Do you take this car on track ollie?

I've not yet, however, I do intend to.

I think I'm slowly getting better at detailing and using the DA polisher. I'll give it another go in a few months. :approve:

 

[willhalligan]

took me a while to read this thread, but definitely worth it. my opinion - sexiest clio on here
