White ds3
thaught id write a progress thread to show people what iv done so far and whats to come etc.
I baught it in June 2008, it has all the cup packs and is on 32k miles. I instantly wanted it lowered once i ahd bought, so after playing around with the idea of springs and not being able to decide what height i wanted it, i decided to go for fully gaz adjustable coilovers instead.
After getting one of the boys to fit them i decided on lowering it about -50mm
it stayed like that for a couple of months untill i decided on geting a new exhaust. I went for a pro-speed cat back and new exhaust hangers because the old 1's were fooked
old one:
pro-speed fitted:
also had a new 197 rear badge
next up was to get huw pugh to work his magic and get rid of all the swirles and defects
all done
mr dent was then phoned to remove a couple of parking dings,i would highly recomend this guy.
then came some carbon fibre dash strips, gear nob insert and steering wheel insert
then came the biggest changes. I had the original 182 wheels refurbed gloss black along with all the badges. Also while the tyres were off, I decided to get 4 new toyo proxie t1r's. also lowered it another 10-15mm.
I was very unsure at first but slowly grew on me and now i love them.
After waiting a long time for the right set to come up i finally got my hands on a set of trophy recaro's which came out of a clio only on 19k
one in
coparison old vs new
After hours of messing with subframes i finally got both in
by this point id baught a maxogen it wasnt worth the £360 in my opinion so was sold shorlty after
i caught my matt carbon fibre spliter no2 on a curb at work,
i know its only a small crack but it grew and annoyed me
and the new gloss carbon fibre 1 not the best pic but you get the idea
then at xmas the misses got me my new plate. had some smaller 1's made up by fancy plates.com so it fits in the recess better
i got board of the black badges they looked cluttery and too much going on. so off they came
and my brand new 1's
after having just gloss black ones, then carbon fibre ones these are my current ones untill i get board lol
the new toe eye turned up not to sure if i like it yet :?
did this a while ago, its a citroen gt areal i think it fits quite well compared to the standard 2 foot long 1 that came with it
and this is, as it stands today
there is more but i will add as i remember and find piks etc
thanx
