UPDATE
box arrived. 182 box that is
feradoo ds2500 front pads arrived which im hoping should be a very good addition.
and im waiting on my box oil and spray to arrive so i can finish the turinis

box painted

 

[aterro]

Now has black turinis.
in some ways i wish i did them in candy red???

anyway gearbox went in
reverse is definatly shafted.so on search for another.
ive put a second hand battery side engine mount as the old one was quite perished.
abs rings fitted with no cracking.
ds2500 pads fitted upfront.
havent really drove the car to give a good evaluation.

wouldnt you be better of getting your current box rebuilt by burp's friend in worcester who rebuilds the box's , at least you know you have got a fresh box instead of a 50-60k mile one that could start crunching 1k miles down the line , plus you never know the milage of a gearbox unless you see the car it came out of , people dont always tell the truth when it comes to milage of box's/engine's

im thinking about spraying the wheels again in white
or even candy red (like the meganes)
advice?

what colour red do the meganes use(on the wheels)?
cheers lads

Definately do them candy red! NOT the r26r red...

originals

i used the tesco car wash for the wheels & not the bodywork lol

photoshop isnt exactly the best
and the silver wheels look better than the photoshops lol

comments & ideas welcomed...

RED!

car is delocked all round,
but it has a boot popper
and a special way just incase but i wont be reveling this over the internet lol

I see, certainly makes quite a difference.

What do you think of the coilovers?, heard people mention they corrode quite quickly.

The red certainly makes a nice change,
though I'm quite boring, so think I'd keep them silver.
White's also nice, but may look too plain, I do like alloys to contrast with the car.

Always got love for White 1*2's

17" look ridic to me though, 15" ftw

 

[chrispy.clio]

I think a bright red would look wicked. Silver looks a bit boring on that type of car.
