Ph1 Carbon Bonnet

[Fluxuk05]

How have you got your bumper to fit so well?
Mine has much bigger gaps by the wheel arches!

 

[saltyhair81]

God only knows. Andy from GDI was the last person to fiddle with it, must be the magic touch lol

Edit - The front one at least. Not sure about the rear

 

[walkie86]

Looks good but kinda funny without the giant Renault diamond :S

 

[VIICarCare]

Big Fan +1

Cars in the shop till Friday, having all the dents taking out of my rear panels too. Quite a few nasty parking dings from careless mongs.

Already miss it

Looks good .. want one for mine as the bonnet is a little speckled with lovely stone chips

I'm over your way fairly often as have family in Caterham and Sanderstead...

Mini mini ph1 meet some time (so I can steal your bonnet when you're not looking and replace it with my black one. You'll never notice !!) ?!

:rasp:

Up for that, never seen a black phase 1 in the flesh

edit: not the bonnet theiving though. & you're right I prolly wouldn't notice!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Ha ! Try looking at yours in the dark....

Off work next week, will probably be visiting. Will drop you a PM over the w/e :approve:

Got a bit click happy and decided to grab up this OMP wheel and hub kit last night along with some new Renault sport mats

 

[saltyhair81]

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Urgh .. what happened there ?!

 

[saltyhair81]

Finished article with more pics tomorrow. Hopefully you won't even be able to tell it was there.

I like the boot sticker.

 

[saltyhair81]

more current pics in better light..

I'm looking for more things to do in the future - thinking a bolt in cage and possibly flocking the innards but unsure yet.

Full list of mods so far (whilst I remember!)

K-Tec Stealth Exhaust
K&N Airfilter
OMP front strut brace
KTR Coilover kit 50mm all round
KTR alloy top mounts
KTR Braided brake lines
Brembo Max brake discs (mintex pads)
Gloss black coated OZ F1s 15"
428 Catcams with group N ECU remap to suit
Stripped out rear
Carbon fibre bonnet
Carbon fibre engine cover

Soon as the cage goes in and I've done the interior I may just call it a day. Welcome to ideas and opinions though!
track time

Possibly if it's that one ^ pic added

Carbon mirrors could work, might have a dig for some pics. Was also looking into getting rid of the AC but not sure if it's really worth it

 

[domjolly]

Looks awesome in that shot there !
Very good looking motor

 

[saltyhair81]

Thanks guys!

Decided to go for the aircon deletion kit with K-tec. The condenser is knackered anyway - so what the heck - Wondering if I can get anything else while I'm at it:rasp:

 

[saltyhair81]

Gave the Clio a 2 day session. Haven't clayed it since I've had it so thought i'd give it a go. A lot of crap came off (in a nut shell! lol). Pics are fairly terrible but only had my BlackCurrent on me.. blah

Thanks to Joe who also uses this account who lent me his Jeffers prewax and his Victoria Wax to finish it off - and for PC'ing my utterly minging head lights back to a normal colour!

 

[kevin.s]

Nice. Scrubs up well. Shame you polished all the paint off the bonnet !!

Sorry to bump an old thread but just curious what you did with the bonnet arm that holds the bonnet up? On the standard bonnet it's riveted on.
