Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

Plans:

If I can get the funds, coilovers.
New interior bulbs (xenon white).
Colour code the front bumper inserts.
172 rear bumper.
Megane splitter.
DONE.

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

Looks great that! Can't decide which wheels i prefer but looks nice either way!

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

Tbh mate, the pics really don't do it justice...I know everyone says that but in this case it's true lol.

I'll try and get some better pics when i can.

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

nice but the wheels just look to shiny. colour code would be perfect.

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

If you want to sell the other wheels mate let me no! Either way looks good, get it dropped

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

Looks better on the 16's, me likes! Do the 182 wheels have a bigger offset?

 

[Tigger]

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

Looks well mate, plans look good too

Thanks for the comments guys

They're already sold mate sorry, had them in the FS section for ages and nobody bothered, so sold them elsewhere.

Regarding the offset, I'm not too sure to be honest, but seems to sit much better with the springs, I'm thinking about getting the coilovers, but I won't drop it too much, because the speed bumps round mine are ridiculous, so I'll just drop it around 60mm.

looks nice mate! the 182 wheels look good

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

182 wheels look 1000x better than the other wheels personaly i thought they were FAR to big. TBH i think with thoese wheels you could get away with 60mm springs might possibly be too low of a drop on the 182 wheels but dont go off what i say i might be wrong.

Cheers buddy I completely agree, I thought the brakes looked tiny too whereas now they look normal size haha.

I want to go to 60mm, but I'd get uprated shocks too, could end up expensive lol.

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

i like that

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

tbh about shocks theres loads of people on here that are running 60spring but standard shocks

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

Looks a lot better bud! Where are the pics of the sprayed engine bay?

 

[Camble]

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

Not got pics of that yet

You can come round when it's light and see for yourself

 

[Camble]

Re: The stealth bomber - cleaned & updated

Update: Today I bought some RS skirts, 172 rear bumper & offside wing.....As you've guessed I'm turning it into a rep....I had a change of heart and fell back in love with the car when I put the new alloys on

I still need the front bumper w/ fogs & lower grill, and the driver's side wing....If you have on please PM me

I also managed to install the new bulbs for the clock, which never worked from day 1

Should have made a progress thread from day 1 to be honest...I'll upload a few pics of when I first got it to how it looks now later.

Here's some pics from today...

 

[Camble]

Also forgot to add that I've aquired some sport handles, so they'll be getting colour coded along with the rest.
Didn't want to have the stupid bobbled effect handles colour coded because they'd have never been right!

Thanks to Steve @ Sutt Auto's for sorting me out with those, ace service

a like that.

coilies are needed tho

 

[Curtis!]

PM me a price on how much you paid for the bits dude if you don't mind?

Will look great once sprayed etc.

Cheers for the comments guys, regarding the coilovers they're a doubt, only because every road around where I live is covered in speed bumps, especially the one just ouside of my close, it's huge and I almost catch it now

[scott1205]

why have you put the bumper on before its painted?

 

[Camble]

Temporarily only mate lol, was just to make sure it fitted ok because it was one that was from a cup that had crashed. Old one back on (for now).

 

[rankins]

nice that mate wheels set it off

 

[Camble]

Update: Took the parts into the body shop with me today, did a lot of work on them....Flatted the bumper and filled a few bits that had chips, used a rotary with 400 grit pads to sand it right down....Then used 800 grit to provide the key & finally used scotch pad to get it ready to be sprayed.

Applied primer to the bits that were filled, should be in again tomorrow to work on this further.

I should have got some progress pics tbh, I'll get some tomorrow

Also sanded down the door handles ready to be sprayed, the other bits I've put on top of the over for later

When I get time I'll dig out the old pics etc & make a progress thread

[st3ve]

Love the 182 wheels, I don't envy the sport wannabe status though.

I like the sport, I could probably afford to buy a sport but couldn't afford to insure one lol!

So the only other option is to make a rep.

 

[Chris_786]

Sweet mate! I miss my rep tbh and i have a sport now!

If anything some reps look nicer than sports imo
