Orange on Black

[Gregg]

Had an extremely expensive few weeks with having to replace: 2 driveshafts, 1 rear damper, 1 gearbox mount & then having a coil fail! But as it's nice weather and car is all fixed (for now...) it's had a good clean and i can actually drive it like it was made for!

Also received my orange anodised engine cover bolts (top service from tastynuts.com) this morning so got my newly sprayed cover fitter and thought it was about time to get some pics.

Pretty poor quality but you get the idea, think I've managed to do the whole orange and black theme quite well even if I do say so myself :approve: .

Am getting the side badges redone by middo when funds allow as the finish isn't brilliant up close (did them myself previously).

Anyway some piccies:

 

[ChrisPearson]

very nice

 

[MillerLight]

side looks good as does the engine bay. i dont like the Renualt dimond though.

 

[nobblebonce]

orange rims and mirrors next.

 

[drummie]

The bay looks good, just needs a bit of a scrub

 

[Gregg]

orange rims and mirrors next.

when funds allow i think i'm going to get the wheels powdercoated a nice dark anthracite, think orange mirrors would be a step too far!

Yeah i know, got revision to do at the moment though, would look much better with all the metalwork polished too, definitely planned for the future

 

[ChrisPearson]

wheels in anthracite and the renault diomonds on them orange would look mint

 

[Coby.]

Looking Good Gregg........ Anthracite Wheels with Orange Diamonds

 

[leeds_182]

[Gregg]

Chris and Andy, great minds...

That would look good, got so many things i want to do to it, getting a proper job in july so best be making a list

 

[Coby.]

LOL

We all have so many things we want to do.... My progress is Ridiculously slow though

 

[theduck]

Oh and orange plenum with black renaultsport logo?

Looks mint btw How much were your nuts?

 

[Paul.]

+1 :approve:

Either that or ditch the centre caps and get the bolts done orange?

The front bonnet rubber 'strip' needs straightening up too. Looks like its off in a few places?

I was thinking the same with the plenum ages ago but don't know where i'd get heat resistant bright orange paint from!?

about 76p each! www.tastynuts.com you can order them individually and they have about 10 colours for the alluminium ones. For the engine cover you need 2x M6x16mm & 2x M6x40mm.

It's completely knackered and split, one of those things you forget you need to order though

 

[theduck]

You can order radiator hammerite in pretty much any dulux colour

 

[Reyes]

Nice, black rims with orange diamonds. Like what im doing but in yellow..:quiet:

ooh.... :star:

 

[theduck]

you know it makes sense

 

[Phoenix]

black rims with an orange lip FTW!

 

[cat171]

I quite like that.

 

[Bjorn]

Like that. Id be tempted to slam it and get on some Pro race 1.2's / Turini's powdercoated orange plus orange mirrors.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I would get the wheels done a dark colour, titanium maybe black with some orange callipers>>>

Yes this was just an excuse to show mine lol...

 

[theduck]

if i remember i will photoshop the alloys etc later

 

[db]

Looking tastey Greggy ma boy!!

 

[gazbenger]

[lozw]

Nice one Gregg....

I say do the wheels the same as mine and Dans (Greeny) Ford Graphite Grey

 

[S Garbett]

Love the Orange, Was going to that to my black one, but went for white.

Do the rear diamond and badges too

Steve

 

[S Garbett]

Where did you get the engine pipe covers from?

Steve

 

[Gregg]

^ I thought it would be a little too much at the back, it's a shame the clio badge is pinned on as having 'renault sport' in orange would have looked good imo.

Laura, that's the colour i was thinking too, looks really good on Dan's, haven't seen yours in the flesh yet.

if i remember i will photoshop the alloys etc later

Cheers duck (?!), engine bay too would be good (orange plenum/black writing)

Edit: The covers can from someone on here, i'll have a look for the thread
