Project: Subtle & Sweet (BG FF 182)

[Jon46]

Finally got around to cleaning and polishing today.

I used all Britemax stuff, and I've very happy. All done by hand and by a relative valeting novice, the results after 4 hours

Ohhh and a big thank you to you Mr Imprezaworks :up: Solution Finish is amazing on all the plastics

Just need to do the interior tomorrow. After that fit the Fabia Splitter and then get the wheels refurbed and I'm happy

Finally got around to fitting the new bulbs today.
Got 2No pairs of Philips Silver Vision, all in they were £26 off ebay.
Got a pair of smoked side repeaters for the front wings too, from eurocarparts.
Also got a new number plate light too, old one was looking tired, I will fit this once the new brighter bulb turns up.
Side repeaters http://www.eurocarparts.com/search/477745051
The side repeaters need cutting down though. There are 4 small plastic fins, that support the bulb tunnel thingy. I butchered them with a stanley knife to get them to fit, easy and quick to do so no drama's.
Number plate light http://www.eurocarparts.com/search/482740011
Used the discount code and got the lot for less than£12.
Pics are a little too close, does look much better from a distance, very subtle, just what I wanted :smile:
The red around the new front is not from the bulb, its a reflection from a red car opposite.

I may be being blonde, which is a high possibility... But I was thinking of getting these for my Clio... From what I can tell, they only change the look of the reflector, am I right? Or am I missing something...

Correct. They still flash orange when the indicators are turned on. I just did it to change the look.
Be careful not to get clear indicator bulbs, that go with orange lenses

Very interested in that complete steering wheel setup. You got a rough price including everything? And links too please?
Thanks in advance

Bit of a late reply.....? I got the wheel from driftworks.

Personal Grinta 350mm wheel

You’ll need this spacer, the Personal bolt holes are rotated differently to the more common Momo/OMP wheels.

Hub adapter

The boss is a Momo K7218

Altogether it was about £180, that was a while ago now

I’ve added a few more subtle tweaks to the car now.

• Turinis refurbed in anthracite (bit too dark but loads better than standard)
• Michelin PS3’s all round
• New Cup front dampers (already done rears last year)
• H&R 20mm lowered progressive springs all round
• Power flex front ARB bushes
• Boot badges removed and replaced with RS badge
• Alpine ide-178BT headunit and SWE-1200 underwear sub (followed @Gus thread link Here??)
• Rockford Fosgate front door coaxial speakers
• Full belt service with genuine belts, dephaser, Elf Evo synthetic 5w-40, Type-D coolant fluid etc
• Full clean, polish and wax with Britemax gear

To fit

• Powerflex exhaust mounts (still ?)
• RS front grille - tried Solution finish and it’s still blue/grey.
• Full front bulb set - fit these when I put the grille on.

Next things planned:

• 10mm rear stub axle spacers and front hub-centrics maybe???? Kind of like the standard look, but also like @OssPoop motor ?
• Alpine SPG 13CS components speakers - Rockford’s don’t seem much better than the previous speakers.
• Might add an Alpine KTP-445A power pack if I add components.
•
