The 1.2 Minty Beast! Project Sticker..

[hsmith]

..

Well i did have a thread already but it didn't go very far so time for a new one

Ill keep the writing minimal and post lots of photo's!!

Background

Brought standard, good price with the high miles and damage so cant complain.. Insurance isnt on my side with this car. I'm not paying so my dad found the insurance company who in other words... just don't accept modifications.. (unless yo' rich)

Anyway I'm over that so just doing personal touch bits till im older..

From start to now:

start - yes thats a flat rear lol

First Mod (Spoiler colour code)


Only £30 and tbh its the best thing i actually done to the car lol

then carbon fiber diamond's

and clear indicators

LOWER! (not for long...My old man made me take them off when he tried to claim them on the insurance lol!)

I went to castle comb with it lower.. at this point i wanted my wheels this colour...but once put back to standard, it would have looked silly

Got myself a towbar for this too ...

I then painted my rimzzzzz

Back to normal height

...

So now im left with minimal options due to insurance for the outside...

i developed an addiction to stickers and plastered my sunroof in them, along with the rear window ..

I also started sticking fake carbon everywhere (door handles)

failed on the splitter though

So that's it so far... Plans are space the fu*k out of the wheels, i got 5mm ones on atm but they don't do much lol!

A different splitter?
Sport or new campus grill

Focus more on inside really

I have an OK old headunit and 10" sub just for the giggles.

the plan!

-suede headlining and pillars
-fancy dash strips (stickers?)
-Fancy headunit
-Renault sport floor mat's
-something with centre console!

SUGGESTIONS

Shame about ur old man making you undo the lowering, height looked pretty good.

Just keep it simple and don't get too carried away though. My old 1.2 16v:

and inside:

 

[Tom 46]

Insurance is s**t isnt it, the worst bit about buying a car :dapprove: Thats why im still in a 1.2

 

[Tom 46]

hsmith, sorry dont know your name lol! id take the rear wiper off if i was you, easy lil thing that will neaten the back up a bit. And because i think it might peel some of your stickers away on the back window aswell lol.

Your making me want some more stickers now lol, you beat me on the sunroof!

 

[JohnOR]

nice photos shame about the lowering looked good! stickers theme is ace imo

 

[Milo123]

..

then carbon fiber diamond's

Where's that from ?

 

[Tom 46]

Milo, i think its a carbon fibre vinyl that smith wrapped around the diamond. He also did the handles and splitter aswell. I like it, all came out well

Ahh! How easy would it be to apply a sheet to the badge?

 

[ekaJ]

Love that, colours work so well.

 

[Tom 46]

Smith dude, you should get loads of lil stickers and do the diamonds! And bullets!

 

[hsmith]

Yeah it is a shame about the lowering, it set the overall tone for the car but never mind eh, not worth all the hassle from the insurance if i do stack it!

Ill still do little things to the car, grill's up next, i do have sideskirts but debating weather to add them or not. spacers are a must though

I love your car tom, really funky! i want to do more stickers but its hard finding different types of stickers, i want some for my dash strips as I'm gona spent my cash on the inside of the car where i can see it lol.

I would de wiper it but i know ill get annoyed by having a stalk that isnt working but the stickers don't contact the wiper much apart from the very bottom but ill just put another one there when it wears lol

I want to deffo put stickers elsewhere on the car!! i was actually thinking about doing my centre caps on my wheels but i dont know if it would pull it off, i might just keep them to my windows and add a couple to the rear 3/4 windows in the same style. will keep you posted


Thanks for the comments everyone

I have got angel eyes on the way much to everyones distaste lol! i couldnt resist them but i also brought them so that i could put my HID's in them

Bought! FFS.

Car looks good.

 

[hsmith]

fanksssss

 

[guysy]

Good little project, Madness with the stickers, I kind of like it though...

Shame about the lowering!

 

[danzel]

Same colour as mine! looking good man

 

[Tyssen]

Love the stickers
where do you get them all from, did you save them up

 

[hsmith]

thanks for comments, stickers are just saved up motocross ones and from ebay but mainly motocross manufactures. i havnt really done anything to the car since the insurance thing but I'm going to concentrate on the inside (suede roof lining, stickered dash strips) just to jazz it up and perhaps what ever comes my way. after all that is where you spend the most time.

But what i have done to the outside is spaced my front wheels out... only multi-fit ones but they seem have no impact on the handling around 70 which is the fastest i tend to go. i was going to try one on the rear to see if it would fit however i cant see it fitting so i need smaller ones for the rear.

Front ones are 35mm apparently. Before and after shots below

I have a 3mm one on the rear because of the standard bolts..

BEFORE

AFTER

EDIT: the reason the bumpstrip and splitter is off the front is because im spraying them gloss black.. which isnt going well, texture is taking forever to come off!!!!

 

[daveski]

I have some stickered mirror covers from my old car in the for sale section, would look great on your car :rasp:

I think you need something to balance the front and rear wheels out, looks a bit strange like that.

 

[JD]

Bought! FFS.

This, but I don't get the stickers thing. I'm obviously too old

 

[Christopher]

LOL!!

I think you've gone a little OTT on the spacers.

 

[Chris205]

spacers look silly in my opinion, if you really feel the need to run spacers dont go anywhere bigger than 10mm, keep it subtle because that looks silly

 

[Phil_tilt]

looks good mate, and u look a bit of a expert with a camera some funky pics

 

[hsmith]

Mixed opinion's about them then, i like them. The stickers i have stopped now, they have been on there for about 5 months and they are starting to wear off on me now so i don't want to add more ( and i cant be bothered to get the glue off)

Rear spacers are the next on the list by the way.. that photograph makes the front look wider than it actually is and because it's normal height it looks like its outside of the arch, its actually still tucked under when you look down from the top, so a similar stance will hopefully be achievable at the rear without having to roll the arches.. chance's are someone will point out that its not achievable without arch modification's so I'm all ear's..

This is a clearer view of how it look with less dust on the wheels too.

 

[hsmith]

looks good mate, and u look a bit of a expert with a camera some funky pics

Thanks, shame the camera has to go back to the rightful owner tomorrow, i have been borrowing it for the last 3/4 months haha

 

[Tom 46]

Dont listen to these pps about spacers, i ran 20mm all round with my previous wheels lol!

The fact that its so high makes it look wider, if it was low it would look spot on :approve:

 

[Mitchell]

I would understand spacing out the wheels if it was low to get stance, but not really when its this high, sorry mate! Other than that it looks good!

 

[Tom 46]

Yep needs slamming, ive decided :approve:

Get low, get laid.....lmao!!!!! :rasp:

 

[hsmith]

Havn't posted in here since the start of july! mainly because its not really had anything done to it.. but im off to uni on the 18th and leaving this minty beast at the house...

I brought 15mm hubcentric spacers for the car which i have had for ages, never put them on so may as well sell them, waste of money lol . that was about it.

other than that i gloss blacked the bump-strip on the front, one day i shall finish the rest of the car haha

and the other thing was my roof lining... copied gar green and rob cole .... with rob's help this is what it looked like

that is all

 

[Cro]

Brought the spacers where?

Screams lower me

 

[hsmith]

i got them off here, the delta-mics ones. had a set off tom and someone else, over car's for the moment with uni, dont fancy wasting more money on it.

 

[tommys]

I liked the gold wheels. Shame you changed back!

 

[hsmith]
