Re: someph-ing different...........

so what's your plan for your wheels then? as you said you were going to do something similar?

I'm thinking antharcite wheels, keeping the standard BBS ones and refurbing them and add a mustard coloured band as the mustard may go well with the scarab grren of the Exclusive.

Re: someph-ing different...........

hmmmm sounds quite cool

 

[wiley]

Re: someph-ing different...........

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

cheers, new update

old wheel coming off

gone

new on

everything else is now gone, only thing that needs doing is seats bolting down, then the MOT in 2 weeks and back on the road

oh and i have a new digaredo to fit from gray after the MOT too

Re: someph-ing different...........

I miss my Clio....

 

[Gray]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Looking good mate!!

A new steering wheel is one of the next things on my list of "Need more money to waste on the Clio" hahaa..

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

well this is being dropped at the garage this evening,

MOT tomorrow, then decat fitting and removal of coilover locking ring on the rears to drop it again....

rang insurance this morning and my premium hasn't gone up and all is declared, will be taxed later this week and be on the road again early next week.....

can't wait

 

[GarethM]

Re: someph-ing different...........

good stuff neil

is the steering wheel smaller than standard?

looks big in the pics

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

i would say its about 1 inch smaller......something like that, its a 350mm, just the right size i reckon

 

[JR]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Cant wait to see it back on the road mate.

 

[Djw John]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Nicely done

 

[Timmay]

Re: someph-ing different...........

loving that steering wheel!

 

[Craigie-B15]

Re: someph-ing different...........

for the airbag light - why didnt you just take the bulb out the dash?

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

i think you'll find that what i did is a far sight easier than removing all the dash..... once you know how of course

 

[Jay Payne]

Re: someph-ing different...........

for the airbag light - why didnt you just take the bulb out the dash?

its an Led iirc, tried doing it to mine

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

well it failed the MOT

needs a new lower ball joint, new rear number plate bulb and headlight alignment.....lol

 

[Daniel]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Can't wait to see this! (although i did say that about Jays 3 months ago and still haven't got round to it! lol)

What brakes you going with 'bone?

 

[JR]

Re: someph-ing different...........

I would highly recommend Ferrodo (sp) DS2500 pads mate, with brembo High Carbons.

The ph1 has them on it and they are superb. So much so that i will be ordering some shortly.

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

the brakes were all done just before christmas so will not be changing in the near future, other things to think about and spend money on first

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Those seats look FIIINE, I know they'll be comfortable.

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

they are sweet mate, very comfortable, hows the cup racer coming along?

 

[Anim@l]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Nice progress Mr Bone! Looking forward to seeing this in the metal! :evil:

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

cheers steve......pmsl at earlier

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

MOT pass yesterday after headlight alignment, new rear number plate light and a lower ball joint.

purchasing TAX today,

also had the rear coilover locking rings removed so it will sit lower again.

 

[theduck]

Re: someph-ing different...........

looking brilliant mate!

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

cheers mate...

must say it feels so good to drive, deffo feels quicker, love the sense you get in a stripped car, noise etc etc....close to my valver, which is a good thing...

more ideas then

had this idea a long time ago, taken from the vw boys to be fair, i know that another member is also thinking about this so not sure who will be the first to do it.... unlike the wheels.....dig dig...anyways, thoughts are welcome on it...

before

possibly after (only a quick photoshop)

thoughts welcome

also am thinking about getting the top of the dash flocked or coated in suede, but fanc something slightly different and possibly want yellow stitching in this..think that would look sweet, thoughts welcome on that too

 

[Turner]

Re: someph-ing different...........

the roof im not sure about tbh
but the dash flocked for sure will defo look mint in this car being stripped etc
seen it on fmps car at gdi and looks the part

 

[iimushroomzii]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Roof,Bonnet and bootlid in matt black i reckon

 

[theduck]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Carbon roof skin FTW

 

[cK]

Re: someph-ing different...........

nononononono

 

[Djw John]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Gloss black roof would be ace imo

 

[Jay Payne]

Re: someph-ing different...........

just taking the back seats out DOESN'T make it 'stripped'

 

[bomber]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Carbon roof skin FTW

1 step ahead of you there lol, £1400ish to be doing it though which has put me off.

and neil, nob off. im having the black roof done first haha. only a matt vinyl though that can be removed easily enough.

i know im not the 'other' person whose mentioned it, but then he shouldnt of also mentioned it to me mwahaha

 

[Jay Payne]

Re: someph-ing different...........

I think everyone has had the same idea about the black roof.

could be the next turini's

 

[bomber]

Re: someph-ing different...........

well we know who to blame for this dont we, have seen a new GTR in a matt black vinyl and looked stunning. would love to do the whole car but ££££

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

may totally leave the black roof idea then.....lol, taylor is doing it too.

i was thinking after the black roof going for yellow race vinyl's......

jay - you sound like a stripped preacher ffs.......lol

 

[Nomad]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Theres a lot of nice Phase 1's round here but I reckon this might be my favourite project. Leave the roof as it is i think... Can't imagine the suede interior although yellow stitching sounds lovely.

 

[dan.mc]

Re: someph-ing different...........

looks very good matey, seats are a good choice, I had them in my last car briefly, hope that carpets coming out sometime soon

Good project

 

[bomber]

Re: someph-ing different...........

got a price for a matt black vinyl today, guy reckoned on about £450 which i thourght was stupid. could get it painted for that.

saw a white mk4 golf with a black roof an spoiler today, looked nice
