Sunflower roadtrip.

[Chris V6 255]

So off we went to Liverpool airport at 6:30am to catch a sleazyjet flight to Belfast.

RallyJ met us at the airport, really nice bloke! Gave us a whistle stop tour of Belfast then we sorted the paperwork.

off to the port for the Stena line back to Stranraer.

Parked up then time to chill out for a couple of hours for the next leg of the trip.

The weather was absolutely terrible but the car performed faultlessly!

Managed to get a quick crappy iPhone shot while it stopped raining for 5 min

230 miles later and the car is home
Needs a damn good clean & the bodywork needs some attention but mechanically it seems tip top!

Car is tucked away so it's time for a celebratory beer

Maybe just the light in the photos but it looks really light/flat paint, other sunflowers look a lot deeper yellow.

Nothing better than driving a new car home!

Doesn't help that we keep being subjected to Craig's factory fresh stunner

 

[LiamR172]

That's the one I was thinking off tbh!! Maybe I was being unfair haha.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Looking abit brighter today now the sun is out & it's had a quick clean.

Good to see another one in the club. Looks nice example.

Has it always been on Irish plates or has it a Uk ID too?

[Marc jones]

[Chris V6 255]

After seeing MagpieV6 post about the de bobbler I thought I'd give it a go.

Before

After

£5.97 well spent!

 

[Chris V6 255]

If a mod can stick this in the project thread that would be great

Got a few bits I would like to sort out.

Remove dents from a few panels.
Respray front bumper.
Stealth exhaust.
New rear bumper without cut out. (Ph1 obviously)
16" OZ F1's
OEM steering wheel.
200 RS front badge

 

[hilldawg172]

Please keep the 15s! Clios look sooooo much better on smaller rims.

 

[Chi]

I've got 16" f1s I could be persuaded to part with

 

[Chris V6 255]

Going to have to prioritise the exhaust & rear bumper first I think.

 

[Chi]

Got an exhaust too lol..

 

[Chris V6 255]

Got an exhaust too lol..

God damn it! I can see it being an expensive trip to yours lol

 

[Chris V6 255]

I know I'm going to hell but these arrived in the post.

Not 100% sure I'm gonna fit them but they only cost me £14 & it's an easy swap back.

 

[Timmsy]

Looks good buddy

Personally i prefer the ph2 rear lights but i think the boot hatch needs doing to to compliment it well. ph1 bumper though

 

[Mr R.]

I know I'm going to hell but these arrived in the post.

In a ball of fire. :dapprove:

 

[Corby G]

The only thing I can fault is the hazy headlights, such a stunning colour though

It on the list of stuff to sort out

 

[Chris V6 255]

Bought some Auto Finesse trim restorer the other day so thought I'd give it a go.

Before

After

Turned out quite well

 

[Chris V6 255]

Think I might have found out why the A/C isn't cold
