Wests Widetracked Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep

[Wests Renault]

Bought this flame red dci 80 from a guy at work, FRSH, cambelt done, very good condition got it for a bargain price too

Standard:

Used the civic type r aeriel and rear silvervision bulbs from my old 182. Also fitted some flat front wipers.

First big modification was some spax 60mm springs which i bought from JoeyD

Fitted:

Next up were the wheels, i removed these from my ph1 and had them refurbed and resprayed in 'black gold'

Bought these sport bumpers about 3 days after i bought the car! Had them sprayed up and hopefully fitting them tomorrow

Started to spray up the lower grille and rear bumper insert too. Pic just with primer on

More to follow tomorrow hopefully .......

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep

Not meaning to piss on your chips but, is the non sport definately flame red? Looks very different?

Apart from that, it looks bloody brilliant, still wish I went full ph1 rep on my old non sport in this colour!

Didn't mean to sound like I was insulting you, I thought you may have got the paint code for flame red that's all.

Hopefully a bit of machine polishing will fix it right up.

I'm quite suprised its the same colour really, as pretty much all the sport colours are different to non sport. Although I know there are some monaco Ph1's.

lol no 42" panasonic

Any good? They've had some immense deals of late! lol!

[Wests Renault]

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep

Few more quick pics from FCS, better ones to follow after next cleaning session....

Side skirts fitted, although the OS sill is bent from where the car has been jacked up. So just need to get that bent back so the skirt fits flush!

Also machine polished the car at work before FCS. I'm gutted I didnt have my camera for before and after pics as the paintwork was an absolute mess before. Its not perfect but is s**t loads better.
