[Krash]

[flegz16]

[Krash]

no not from hull, about an hour the otherside of the water, found the car listed on ebay and went from there, not a bad dealer really gave me a test drive without trying to force the sale like horten seat did and a courtesy car while this was prepped and had private plate changed back and more then happy to sort my airbag light issue under warranty

 

[Krash]

wanted rid of the fried egg look to my head lights so bought some diadems

iridescent coating give a pretty cool effect i think

 

[Krash]

cree q5 5w led

think that's pretty much the bulbs worth upgrading done
lcr splitter and lows next on the list

 

[Krash]

after the other half took it through an autocar wash =[ wax everywhere wheels not done properly, water marks everywhere and light scratches across the body work
so re did myself,

1. wheels done with ag custom wheel cleaner
2. washed with ag shampoo and conditioner
3. after rinsed it off and dried then went over the whole car with ag paint renovator, lifted the damage done by the car wash
4. ag srp was then used to give it a decent shine
5. ag hd wax was then used to seal the paintwork and the windows done with ag fast glass

and here's the results

although im now out of srp, i know its not the best but it was part of a pack i got for xmas.
Any suggestions on a better similarly priced alternative?

 

[Krash]

so a little bit of bad news some kind old guy in an omega estate decided to take it upon himself to reverse into me then drive off even after i waved him over which he appeared to acknowledge

after few passes by hand with ag paint renovator and srp i was left with this

im hopping the rest can be taken out with a DA so itle be booked in for a paint correction which should hopefully see this gone

but on a plus side finally got something to better fill the exhaust cut out in the bumper

Is that a cupra exhaust?

And don't worry about the lad in the estate, quite clearly a pr!ck.

its a E-tech large oval tip closest thing i could find to looking like a cupra one and managed to get it for £15 off a friend
and yeah just a bit peeved at him driving off

 

[Krash]

not updated this in while and tbh not much has happened :/

gave it some winter protection in the form of a few layers of poorboys nattypaste blue, best smelling car cleaning product ever imo

also got a bonnet bra for motoway driving, which caused a fair bit of facebook banter

lcr splitter next, and lows just need to decide on what coilovers to get, want decent ride with small or no arch gap, maybe weitecs?

 

[Krash]

yellow tint started peeling again so got some michiba goldvision 3000k bulbs

so thats pretty much all the little things done so started to look into coilovers thinking ap's or fk silverlines or anything else you can suggest around the the £400-£500 mark

[beezajono]

Not yet.

I need to get one set up.

Still waiting for the 15 post mark so i can put photos up ha

 

[Kurtice]

Good ready buddy. Tidy progress so far. Liking the colour. Theres one near me the same colour and im particularly fond of it.
My bonnet bra caused a little bit of a stir as well mate.

As for the coils, im eying either apex rdx's or vogtland tec lines from dpm performance

dont suppose you know what size the exhaust is do you mate?
im looking for one and im looking at a 6"x 4" and i think it may be too big.

 

[Krash]

so before going to the lake district i treated her to a much needed detail

which left her looking like this

then while i was away this happened when i got caught in the heat of the moment and failed to check my blind spot while overtaking a lorry and collided with a zafira :/ but accidents happen im just glad i didn't hit a motorcyclist

:bash:

managed to find a replacement bare door at a breakers yard in ls7z for £50
ordered a side moulding from seat just over £10
been quoted £180 for the sill to be repaired and painted and everything swapped onto the replacement door
