[Keith185]

Stunning car, most projects look unfinished even when they are this just looks amazing.

 

[oliver.james]

Thanks! As a project it's pretty much finished tbh.

There's a few other little touches and changes to come (plus possible new seats and a change of suspension), but I'd like a Meg next.

I just want to enjoy the car now. :evil:

Good result. Great attention to detail as always.

Immaculate, stunning attention to detail.

Awaits the breaking thread in traditional CS fashion

Looks awesome though Ollie, attention to detail is awesome.

You do need to spend more time driving it, & less time cleaning it though ...

 

[Matt350.]

Saw your car at CSS and thought it was fantastic, you've made a really nice job of this car, nice one ollie

 

[Tutuur]

really the most awesome ph.2 in here imho:clap:

is the torgue corrected too? my willy has the only then completely standard....

 

[daveski]

I love this car. Care to share how much you've spent in two years though?

 

[oliver.james]

I think my streamline parts were attempted to be delivered this afternoon while I was at work. Sadly, the local collection office was closed by the time I was home!

Thanks, dude!

haha! There's no plans to break the car anytime soon CS style. I do just really want to enjoy the car now it's 'finished'.

It gets driven hard quite a lot tbh. I try to do both with driving/enjoying it and keep it clean.

I think it works well as an everyday car; there's absolutely no issues using it on a daily basis, as I do.

The exhaust does have a habit of setting off alarms in the work carpark though. Even when just sitting idle. :evil: lol!

Thanks!

I'm really happy with the torque curve; it does feel like it'll just pull and pull right from low down!

I've never properly added up how much I've spent over the last couple of years. I think it would be a shock actually, it's all the little things that add up!

 

[Russ_16v]

Tart x

 

[Sam@NP]

Looks superb Ollie, Id suggest you get it out on track but you might get a stone chip :rasp:.

 

[oliver.james]

The front bumper's got some pretty big chips in it already. :rasp:

Hopefully they'll be an update of shiny carbon bits from Streamline tomorrow; hoping I can get over to the post office at lunch!

 

[oliver.james]

Got my pieces from Streamline today.

Outstanding quality; I'm blown away by the quality to be honest, it's definitely been worth the wait.

Two piece splitter, fog light surrounds, front diamond and headlight washer blanks.

 

[Fletcher]

Nice

 

[adam172]

very pretty.

 

[Daz.]

pics fitted dammit! I'm tempted by some of that stuff to go with my badge....

 

[oliver.james]

I'd like a few other bits now too actually.

Bullets, rear diamond and rear bumper trim next I think. Then, mirrors.

It's fantastic stuff, just a shame it's quite expensive. End up spending a small fortune.

 

[JackJack]

God the quality on those parts is amazing.

 

[oliver.james]

Hopefully I'll get a chance to fit some bits tomorrow.

I'd like to mesh the fog light surrounds though; it's a bit unsightly being able to see inside the bumper!

 

[oliver.james]

I made a start this morning on fitting the new carbon bits.

First up, was a trip to Halfords to get some black mesh and adhesive. Then, it was soon time to go blue peter on the fog light surrounds.

While the adhesive was drying, I went out and swapped over my diamond. My old carbon diamond used the original clips, but as the streamline one is a pre-preg item pulled from a mould it needs to be bonded into place.

Now, the fog light surrounds were about dry enough to fit to the car. Again, bonded into position.

I still have the new splitter and headlamp washer blanks to fit; the streamline splitter attached using the original mounting points, so I just need to get some screws.

The mesh in the fog surrounds has tidied it up nicely, it's much better not being able to see inside the bumper! So, for now, it's looking like;

 

[Jonny1*2]

Looks good that Ollie, looking at that type of meshing for mine. Looks nice and neat.

 

[Jekyll]

carbon fogs and mesh look the business!

actually the whole fappin' car look the business!

 

[Sam@NP]

Wicked! Looks very, proper tart car :rasp:

 

[Scattle]

Looks brilliant, the Carbon Fogs look awesome.

 

[oliver.james]

I'm really happy with the Streamline parts, top quality.

I've been out using the car and nothing I've bonded on has fallen off; result! haha!

 

[Daz.]

carbon covered bonnet catches next

 

[oliver.james]

I'm not really a fan of the carbon aero catches. I looked at them before buying my black ones; compared to proper carbon they look quite cheap!

Just going to get the other streamline bits (bullets, rear bumper trim, rear diamond and mirrors) I think.

 

[domsclio182]

Mesh fogs look cool,wouldn't go too mad on the carbon the car looks really good now,a little carbon is nice go over the top and it can look a bit much.

 

[Will.]

Mesh fogs are fecking cool. I might have to nick that idea. I've been trying to think of a way to make my fogless front not look so odd.

 

[oliver.james]

I'm really pleased with the meshed fog surrounds; I remember seeing it on Porkie's cup some time ago and thought I'd give it a try to tidy it up a little.

The headlight washer jet covers look to be a bit of nightmare to fit tbh; I'm assuming the bumper has to come off to get to the bolt/nut holding the originals on?

 

[Marky_]

^Pretty sure that's right. Not THAT much of a ball ache though.

 

[oliver.james]

I guess there's no way to do it without removing the bumper though. Effort. :dapprove:

 

[Jekyll]

upon reading on here it seems a bumper off job

 

[domsclio182]

Bumper off 100% there is a plastic nut on the back of the washers,1/2 hour job

 

[oliver.james]

Ah perhaps a job for the weekend then. Thanks, guys. :approve:
