They do look great tbf. Aged well.

Stop mucking about and get one.

I'm pretty sure they price it all on new parts that are genuine, not one's pattern parts. That plus labour involved, is what hikes up the costs.

Shame because they never see what has actually been done to the car and the condition they are in.

imprezaworks · Sep 28, 2018

For sure.

Sunglasses_Ron · Sep 29, 2018

Cleaned to within an inch of its life today.

My god it was filthy!

Desperately needs paint correction but I juts haven’t got the time at the moment.

Matt W · Sep 29, 2018

That looks great!

massiveCoRbyn · Sep 29, 2018

Looks bob on. White with spoiler is a great combo.

That maybe, but in the photos, it looks perfect!

Glacier white fwend ?
Looks really smart that!

leeds2592 · Sep 29, 2018

Numberplate needs to go over to the right a bit but other than that, looks great. Bang some spacers on, jobs a good un.

I’m just waiting to transfer my private plate onto it. Pressed plates will be going on.

In the nicest way possible, I think this looks better than the blue one tbh! Just looks sooo smart...………. so after a terrible time, hopefully this is the light at the end of the tunnel of getting it all sorted!!

Spoiler looks gash, but nice otherwise.

Looks well that. Spoiler needs to stay.

ForceIndia · Sep 30, 2018

The Sprint spoiler would look good.

Tbf, bone stock is how these look best. They're kind of ugly cool, surprisingly aggressive in the flesh. Slight drop, no spacers, done.

Lower it a bit, put spacers on it, paint wheels white, keep spoiler, be cool.

And put some blue gordini stripes on it in homage to its deceased sibling. You'll fit in at any McDonald's evening then @Sunglasses_Ron ?

cat171 · Oct 1, 2018

It looks great Ron!
I do think as per Daniels comment, it needs a bit of lowz, and spacers, it'll just look right then. If you were to get the wheels done in white it would be heroic!

Sunglasses_Ron · Dec 10, 2018

Spent most of today cleaning the car as it was absolutely hanging.

Also applied some Gtechniq G1 on all the windows.

Trying to find the love for this car because if I’m honest I’m not really feeling it yet. I think once I’ve had a bit of work done by @AlexW in the new year and got the steering wheel refurbished I think that will help.

Got dark before I could take any pics so I’ll take some tomorrow.

Kyle 86 · Dec 10, 2018

Looks fantastic mate. I hope you find the love for it mate

We can get the GWs together soon [emoji6]

Why's that mate ?

Not too sure. Probably to do with it needing some cash spending on it. I think once it’s up to scratch I’ll be happy with it.

Whilst cleaning it yesterday I managed to jet wash off the top of the door pillar stickers so spent a couple of hours removing them.

I replaced the one’s on the RB which was a proper ball ache.

I think I’ll leave them off as I think it’s looks good without them.

imprezaworks · Dec 11, 2018

Pretty much what I was after lol

massiveCoRbyn · Dec 11, 2018

Looks lovely that. They look great in white with the spoiler and black wheels.

leeds2592 · Dec 11, 2018

Not generally a fan of white cars but that does look great, especially with the spoiler

Sunglasses_Ron · Jan 1, 2019

Quick update.

Since buying the car I knew there were some issues. The steering has a mind of its own and there’s lots of clunking and banging noises coming from the front. There’s also a horrendous noise when turning the wheels at very low speeds.

Took a trip up to see @AlexW just before Christmas and he diagnosed quite a few issues that need addressing.

It’s booked in for next week to have top mounts, ball joints, swivel hubs and while he’s at it Alex is going to change the plastic bush in the steering rack that’s a common issue on these.

I can’t wait to get all this sorted as at the moment the car really doesn’t feel or sound great at all.

Plans for the near future are a steering wheel refurb, new tyres and having the wheels done in gloss black.

You spelt White wrong mate?

Sunglasses_Ron · Jan 10, 2019

Just collected the car from Alex @ AWMotorworks and I’m absolutely over the moon.

No more crashing and banging and most importantly the car now no longer tries to leave the road when entering bends.

It really does fell like a new car.

Steering wheel being sent to Snappy this week and then the plans for the year are to get the wheels painted, new tyres all round, spacers and possibly a set of coilovers ?

Hopefully it’ll all be done in time for CSF19.

Also a huge thanks to @Cookie for taking me all the way to near Stansted to pick it up today. Proper legend x

I can just hear the phone call now "Dave, I've done something terrible, you need to help me. Remember that time I drove you all the way to stansted, and you said you owe me one? Well this is it"

Glad you're now happy with it. There's nothing worse than a hot hatch feeling "uncertain". They need to just be point and go and have a lot of fun.

Wait a minute ..... spacers?!?! Are you feeling alright?
