Project 'get a mag feature'!

[clvs2222]

rite, soo much iv got planned for the car, thought id start a ongoing thread to document the progress.
As the name suggests, hopeing to get the car in one of the magazines which i have been reading since i was a little boy. lol. its a dream of mine and i think i can make it a reality with this car.

First of all,
The spec of the car when i bought it in november 2007.
Black Mk2 ph2. dynamique.
original 1.2 16v engne was replaced by previous owner with a 2.0 182 engine which includes front and rear axels. so it has the rear disks.
its had the wheel well cut out and a plate welded in, this is not a very good job but did pass the MOT no Problem and i will explain more later on.
when i bought the car. it had the 182 rear bumper, side skirts and front wings, but doesnt have the front bumper, instead it has the orginal bumper with a s**tty splitter on it, it does look very gash. and very heavily tinted windows.

to be continued!

Continue -

there was a JBL subwoofer tube in the boot when i had it, i took this out because it weighed just under 15kg, and im not into the whole ice scene.

it had the orginal dash strips with the billabong sticker on it which i didnt like, i had some carbon sheet laying around so put that on, including the hazard button panel.

it looks half decent in the pictures, but in reality you could tell it was fake carbon and im not into cheap halfords look. so off came the carbon with a heat gun and sanded ready for paint.

sanded with P800 wet and dry

5-6 thin coats of plastic primer

sand with p1000 paper to achieve a key for paint

i had a nearly full can of Mitsubishi satellite silver in the garage which i have used on a previous project so decided to save some money and use that.

couple of thin coats of paint, followed by a light sand with P1200 paper and 2 coats of laquar.

end result:

Quite happy! :approve:
