hahahah hows things mate ;-) u like what ive done with the five door then? prob looks alot different from when i came and bought the wheels of you

 

[Andi-B]

Looks ok, better than some I've seen. Could do with colour coding, silvervisions and would be bang on (besides a wash of course). Would also suggest Xenon's or, if your not and sticking with standard lamps, getting blanking plates and removing the wash jet ballasts off the front bumper as they stick out like a sore thumb without Xenon's.

 

[spanishbhoy]

i quite like the washers on the bumper... hmmm not really wanting to throw that much money at it if im honest... and excuse my ignorance... what are blanking plates? colour coding my wing mirrors is next on my agenda... then door handles ;-)

 

[Andi-B]

.. excuse my ignorance... what are blanking plates?

All they are is just pieces of flat plastic to cover up the hole they leave. Like these on the 182 cup bumper pictured below.

Not sure, something bigger haha. Having a baby you see, and I don't think the clio is going to be practical enough.

congratulations mate... yeah 3 door isnt very practical which is why i bought a 5 door. i have a 2 year old... plenty of room in the boot for the pram even with the stealth shelf ;-) whens the lil one due then mate?

 

[_Logie]

Love how it's sitting there parked up mate, looks real tidy. (As always lol).

 

[spanishbhoy]

cheers mate torn between spunking 200 sheets on a sport interior..... or buying a exhaust.... canny decide

 

[joej9]

Interior mate looks much better IMO. What will you do about the door cards though?

 

[Claire90]

never mind that, get the handles and mirror caps colour coded. and clear side indicators fitted. would have fitted bumper washer blanks instead

 

[col182]

looks good mate just need, just needs the rear doors welded up/smoothed, maybe some silvervisions.

June fella, can't wait ! I'll probs just keep it until then and see what happens !

Oh, and i think interior then exhaust ;-)

 

[spanishbhoy]

Cheers guys I'm thinking interior also.... Just had a tip about a sport interior at a breakers nearby so fingers crossed.

yeah wing mirrors and handles will be done soon.... Just being lazy. Done so much sanding and primering past few months I can't be arsed need a break lol.

 

[spanishbhoy]

anyone know how hard it would be re trimming the fabric ony existing door cards? Failing that I'd need to get five door door cards with fabric colour closer to the colour of the sport seats
