All in all a productive afternoon. Only spent 3 hours in total from start to finish which I thought was pretty good considering the amount I got done.

Future plans for the DCI:
  • Coilovers
  • Spacers
  • RS grille
  • Colour coded door mouldings and door badges
  • Black badges
  • Black surround headlights
Was planning on washing the track car as well but couldn't be arsed so took some pictures anyway to show the disgusting state its in! Driven not detailed!!

makes me laugh everytime i see this thing loads work gone into it perfect all round then a standard grill lol and u work at renault!

good work mate
 
The flamers come a long way. Is that supposed to be it hoovered out though? Tell her to get back out there and do it properly lol
 
Looks great tbh. Could do with some spacers up front and as said the RS grill.

Noticed you said about CCing the door mouldings personally i think they work as they are, especially with those rims. Whats it lowered on? sportlines?

Best way to show how dirty the buckets are is to just let them sit, and the bubbles to die off. You'll end up with the water bucket looking rather black and the soap one looking pretty fresh :)

Tidy car anyways! The stance/lowness etc isn't right for me but it'll look alot better with coilovers wapped on spaced out.
