My Cleee-O

[S23]

thinking about it, i still need to sort the yellow fog light covers out, and adjust the coilies until im 100% happy with them,

sounds like you have your work really cut out there, good luck!

people from my area are convoying up, i meant alone in my car, hate driving to shows alone, plus i dont really know people from my area that well

Yea man, just had a write in your thread. In the words of Keith Lemon it looks 'Bang Tidy!' :rasp:. Yea man, always work to the wire whether it's Uni, going to Work or the Cleee-O . Ah that's fair enough. I personally love driving up to things by myself, means I can crank the music up full tilt without worrying about my passengers ear drums :rasp:. Also means you can sing into the steering wheel (if you want to that is ) Haha.

 

[S23]

Just been having a play on fotoshop with an old foto. Pleased with how it came out, makes me happy to think that Cleee will look like this again on Sunday! Also cannot wait to show her to all you lot and the rest of FCS. Looking forward to the day in general. So yea, just a shot to show you what you can all expect. Look forward to seeing a load of you there

Just out of interest, what photoshop do you use? I really want to try it but never done it before.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Tom CS3 or 4 is your bet as their the most up to date versions of the programme! expencive unless you can get someone to get you a copy!

 

[Tom 46]

im ready apart from cleaning, and im not sure to what extent to do it .

Some nice grey clouds mean the SRP may stay in the bottle.

I always manage to keep myself amused as I drive anyway, Ha! I use CS4 dude. But I use it for my Uni course daily so that's why I spent so much on it. Was £300 for the package I got lol.

Yea man, they are pricey aren't they. Rather the student rate though :rasp:

The other one (didn't get on with it myself though I have to be honest, but I was already used to Photoshop) is GIMP. lol @ the name, but apparently you can get a skin for it that turns it into Photoshop pretty much. Plus it's totally free to download. Give it a whirl anyway Ha, conversations are cool man don't worry about it. lolz

hmm, i may have to make a CD for the drive lol.

hows the work going?? coming along i hope??

I've got some varied playlists for my drive, June's playlist already done, Dubstep, Pop, Rock, Chart...Ha, I'm a mooosic who re though :rasp: . I'm not even back in the country yet dude! Don't get back til like 6, lol. Fair play, get it all done! I'm going for it...even though it will be pitch black when I get round to cleaning mine! . Ha, I need to learn how to use SRP and schtuff. Will just be sticking with my normal wax, seems to give a good shine though and a mirror finish

 

[Struggler]

It'll be done mate, don't you worry. I know it's tight but I know it's more than possible . lol. Ha, cheers dude. In fairness though I always end up swearing and shouting quite a lot when doing stuff to my car, so it's always best if I'm away from others :rasp:.

Ha! You lazy bugger, I'll probably be out waxing at that time

 

[Tom 46]

Yea man, was nice to meet you to, had a good chat . Ha, yea dude yours looked good in the metal too . The fotos are good man. . Same height! Wish I'd lowered down the front to it's normal level now . Nahhh, I'm just happy I managed to drive all the way up and back without touching my sump

looked very nice at fcs mate.

Just proves 5 doors can look cool!

Cheers man, I saw yours looked sick! Glad you liked it though, was a bit worried about bringing it. Thinking people wouldn't like it in person. Means a lot man . I was searching for you to meet you and that...bit hard when you don't know what someone looks like though :rasp: .

 

[tommy g]

no worries mate, keep up the hard work. I was in a white t with grey cargo's and white and mint grenn air max's on. lol.

Will do man, I'm feeling change with it though. A day at FCS makes me remember how I used to drive my car a lot harder, without the fear of it breaking. . But I'll see how long that thought lasts lol, can't say I spotted you man. Was more busy looking at women then men :rasp:. Will see you at the next event/show hopefully though . I was in a white puma shirt, large black spikey hair, dark blue jeans and grey and purple Nike Dunk 2.0's with pink laces. Just so you know Ha.

 

[tommy g]

lol i think i may of seen you. did you have a camera around your neck?
but yer ill make sure i see you at the next event.

 

[Tom 46]

lmao, thats how i recognised you shaun, your hair! :rasp: Then again i think my big fluffy barnet stood out aswell lol :rasp:

I think im lowering mine again during the summer, only got 4 threads left, but ill still go down lol.

 

[Drobbly]

what coilovers did you guys get? and tom do you know any good bodywork shops for colourcoding in our area?

 

[Tom 46]

I think we're all running v-maxx coileys, S23, Tommy and I, but correct me if im wrong.

Drobbly, i think you'd be best to ask Tommy about bodyshops because i dont really know any lol. I did the lil bit of colour coding with my old man

 

[S23]

Ha, my most distinctive feature is my hair :rasp:. Yea man, yours stood out too. lol. Ah cool man, just remember what I said about how much it is to replace a sump though!

Yea Tom's right dude, I use V-Maxx's for mine. Been pretty happy with them, only thing I would say is buy a decent C-Spanner cause the one they give you is shocking! It's made of cheese and doesn't grip right. I'll be buying a new one later cause I've had enough of it. lol.

 

[S23]

Well, had a brilliant time at FCS. Was nackered after my 36 hour day and 500 odd miles. lol. But was well worth it .

So here's some fotos .

Down the local car park at 10pm to fit the Steffs back on and deck it down. Finished at 12.30

Then it looked like this...

So then I was out cleaning it and getting it ready a bit more at 2.30am .

And then at the show, here's some that other people have taken (thank you )

[Drobbly]

lol. No worries mate, more than happy to help. If I can help with anything else, give us a holla . Cheers for the compliment dude, was quite happy with how it looked. Wanted more done for the show, and the front to be down more at it's usual height. But I did it in the dark so I was happy. Ha.

 

[Hixle]

Cheers man Yea, was pretty happy with her for the show . Will get some more fotos up later which I did, quite happy with them New whimmmzzz will be happening over the summer though

 

[S23]

Thought I'd put some more fotos up. Ha. Well, got a pretty sweet deal on the Steffs, so they will be going to a good home this month (hopefully). The Cleee-O looks like it does in the fotos again, no rocking the steelies for me anymore! Roll on PayDay and the new whimmmzzz. Here's some fotos though of the current look you know before it all changes

The drive back from FCS:

And the day after:

And a rolling shot, which I love!

Hope you like, I know some of you will probably be bored of seeing no actual progress lately, but it will be happening soon . Hope you like!

 

[Daniel]

I love this car so much!!

 

[S23]

I love this car so much!!

Cheers mate, glad you still like it. Hope you like what's happening next too as well! It's a lot different that's for sure.

 

[Tom 46]

Cant wait to see what you've got planned! How long till it all comes together?...hopefully still be around here lol

 

[Graham Gooch]

Is the West Quay in the background?

 

[S23]

Cant wait to see what you've got planned! How long till it all comes together?...hopefully still be around here lol

Good good . Umm, hopefully most should be done this next month or so, but want it all done (well most of my extensive list lol) done by the end of the year. Main visual schtuff soon though Yea man, keep around

Is the West Quay in the background?

Yeppp! Think it worked quite well, maybe will do it again but with less cars in the car park next time though. Ha.

 

[Tom_90]

any update on this yet??

 

[toomer]

ive only seen this once in the flesh! wee need a meet! :lolup:

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

This has came a long way! A bold project, a credit to you sir!

 

[S23]

ive only seen this once in the flesh! wee need a meet! :lolup:

Ahhh! Ello mate, you PM'ed me on Wheel Whooooores didn't you?

This has came a long way! A bold project, a credit to you sir!

Thanks a lot mate, I like to think that it has as well. Means a lot

any update on this yet??

Nothing concrete yet...but here goes.

Yea, not much has happened to the Cleee-O recently. I'll show you what I have done though (admitidly nothing much though). The plan was to get the new whimmmz sorted last month, but muggings here forgot that it was insurance time again . So hopefully this month! Ha.

Anyway...

First thing that happened was my splitter broke.

So to make it drivable for a day I fixed it. But at this point I wasn't JDM enough to own any cable ties, so electrical tape did the job!

But then I was JDM enough and bought some colour matching cable ties and an electric drill

Then it was my mates 20th birthday so we had a little party and also some party bags (retro spec I know). And inside said party bags were some stickers! So I got pirated up

Also got a new sticker for the front window (another little group that I'm part of).

Then just gave it a clean and that.

Then I finally got around to fitting my tow strap after it sitting in my door card for the last 3 months. lol

And here is just some other random pictooores that you may all like .

Found a Clio that was EXACTLY the same as mine when I got it and it looks a fair amount different

And then had a random meet with some mates and got some cool new fotos

So yea, not much has happened really. But I haven't touched the sump yet! So all things are goood. Hopefully new wheels this month, but with everything that's happening in my private life who knows! Haha. Hope you like

 

[Christopher.]

looking good Sean

 

[Tom 46]

Looking good matey, cant wait to see the new whimz!

I finally smashed the sump on mine lol :dapprove: 2 days before i was going to sell it!

 

[Steve 182]

Looks good that mate, where did you get the tow strap from?

 

[toomer]
