Splitter and "cute" ariel on! (pics)

[@rt]

Getting there now! just waiting on the RS grille and pipercross viper, and it will be pretty much done!

as you can see, no more ariel rub on the spoiler! woot!

and my iccle 1.2 engine,lol, just for the fun of it!

really pleased with it

Can't really justify spending any more on it at the moment though, so the only things I'm actually going to buy in the near future are spacers and maybe some new speakers

it's not bad for a first propper car! (my old car wasn't really a propper car and I only had it for 2 months lol)

comments welcomed

tbh, its only splitters and xenons you need to buy and it would be minted would it ?

 

[@rt]

Yeah xenons would be the first thing I would get if I were to buy anything else! may just get some money saved so if any do come up at a good price I'll get them!

Lovely motor mate.... very clean indeed

He has a splitter, are you blind?!

Looking good mate, cup splitter is the only one to have imo!

 

[guysy]

Nice mate, What splitter is it? And where did you get it from if you dont mind me asking?

EDIT: Oh, Cup splitter. Nice mate.

 

[ChorleyFM]

RS Grill??

Is that a standard ariel just cut down??

 

[@rt]

cheers!

its the cup splitter off a 182, got it from steve79 on here!

 

[swirly182]

The front wheels are lost in the arch - spacers?

Rest looks good though.

RS Grill??

RS grill should come early next week

and its a C2 ariel, only cost £5 deliverd! £5 well spent IMO!

 

[AK]

they are abit! lol

going to get some 25mm hubcentric ones soon!

 

[Mish]

I have a short metal one- I was hoping the C2 would be better? Nice to hear your view on it mate.... fiver is a bargain!

Well I've only tried it once just out of interest and it wasnt the best, but then I don't know if that was because I was in a place with a poor coverage! I never even tried the radio with the old arial on tbh,lol, never ever listen to it, so to me it wouldn't matter if I had 0 reception!

 

[MrMark]

looking mint, good job.

 

[J03]

nice looks really good in that colour, good job

 

[Gstar2006]

Looks mint but as said the ariels are s**t for reception so going back to the CTR one personally.

G

 

[@rt]

Cheers lads!

Yeah if I used the radio regularly then fair enough I'd prob get rid, but if you dont then it looks alot better than standard IMO

 

[Alan]

Xenon's, DONE.

 

[Frash]

smart rep mate. i'll have to look out for you on the roads

 

[koi]

never heard an aerial being called cute before lol

looking good so far

 

[@rt]

smart rep mate. i'll have to look out for you on the roads

cheers bud! yeah I'll keep an eye out for you too! Only seen two RS clios in redditch in the last like 3months! where do they all hide?!

 

[B5 BDJ]

Xenon's, DONE.

agreed

 

[Jungle_Jim]

looks great buddy only thing i would recommend is to push out the oz racing bits on the wheels and paint the rest of the centre caps and then put them back in if you want silver or maybe swap them for some carbon fibre oz racing logos, you can pick some up of ebay

Cheers! which bit do you mean to paint? the actual center cap or the "chrome" bit around it? lol little confused! couple of my center caps look abit tatty actually, was going to look into getting them replaced but haven't got round to measuring them or anything!

anyone got any opinions on what to do with the tailgate badges? was going to go for all graphite but I've seen a pic of them all done on a couple of cars and it looks abit gash tbh, I'm deffinatly going to change the front and the bullets, just not sure if I should change the back ones?!

 

[scott1205]

yer it looks smart mate but if i was you before geting some headlights i would get the grill sorted out first it makes a massive difference

grill has been paid for last week mate, just waiting for it to get delivered

 

[Tom@JMS]

Fitted the VTS Ariel today, looks good but no signal whatsoever so it'll have to come off again.

 

[scott1205]

the civic one looks good and i still get perfect signal

 

[Jordi17]

looks good although im not keen on those wheels. those smaller ariels are spot on.

 

[Peperami]

182 wheels! That needs amphasite 182 wheels!

I know its crying out for some tbh!

Theres a local guy that might be getting some new wheels in the near future so if i've got the money I'll snap them up

 

[Peperami]

Looks wicked though mate. With 182 wheels, grille and xenons one day, will be a perfect 182 rep but in cyclone blue. Awesome

 

[@rt]

cheers bud!

yeah should look rather good when it's all finished!

 

[scott1205]

ad say it need better spacers on the front the wheels look abit pushed in compared to mine

 

[@rt]

Yeah it doesn't have spacers at all at the moment! lol

going to get 25mm at the front and 10mm at the back, both hubcentric, in the next 2 weeks

 

[@rt]

still after some opinions on the back badges! the front and bullets are deffinatly going graphite (being painted by nathj at the moment!) along with the tailgate badges, but not sure wether I should keep the back ones as they are, input?

 

[clio_luke]

as dan said, amphasite 182 wheels would finish it off.
will look great once the rs grille is on. the wheels, grille and tints are the only things letting it down.
apart from that... great job, well done mate.
