Thought i better way give her a good clean - what better way to get over a hangover

anyway her are some pics after a good clean and polish

Enfield · 1 Apr 2006 at 14:52

Tidy

But you definitely need to get those black bits up!

Stinky · 1 Apr 2006 at 14:56

they are being resprayed when it goes in to be lowered

how can i get them black again in the mean time?? any ideas? (not to clean on back to black - doesnt last long at all)

Enfield · 1 Apr 2006 at 14:59

Tyre black.

Or shoe polish - even better.

I dip a rag into some petrol first then clean the bumpers to get all the rubbish off then use the tyre black or shoe polish.

Should have got a DT, runs!

Mine looked quite similar to yours (DTurbo) except it was a different red and not diablo which I think yours is?

Anyway, get a decent backbox on there sunny! Would the backbox from the DTurbo fit? It's nice and oval and fills the gap nicely.

Nice shine

When I went to go to morrisons today to get some food I thought my dad had secretly washed my car, it was that shiny and windows didn't have a spec on them, turns out yesterdays rain was of a washing kind and saved me a job for the weekened

Yep, exhaust will fit, and needs it shapish! I would also change them alloys, either put the std ones on or if you want summin a bit cooler put the gti-6 alloys on, 15" 5 spokes.

Stinky · 1 Apr 2006 at 15:19

lol.

yea mine is diablo red. unfortunatly the DT one doesnt fit

i really need to get it changed it just looks sorry for itself atm.

how much do you think i would be looking at for one with a cat as well. (possilbly one with a cat i can take out and put back in for the MOT

)

I think with the Sun/Cold/short showers it's giving it a multi stage car wash :O
I picked up some Meguirs clay and Auto Glym Resin Polish so am gonna give those a whack today!

Stinky · 1 Apr 2006 at 15:21

it does fit???

i didnt think it did cos one is petrol the other desial.

dont want the standard crappy wheels lol. would love some cylacons (sp?) there expensive though

Enfield · 1 Apr 2006 at 15:21

Yeah, some GTI-6 (cyclones?) alloys would look great on that car.

Erm, full a full cat back exhuast you're probably looking at around £200-300.

guess that will be waiting a while then

gotta think about my court summons for now and save for the possible fine. i need a new cat so that on the to-do list. so i guess i might as well get the BB at the same time

Smiley Man · 1 Apr 2006 at 15:57

I had to multimap your location - never heard of it

Yeah, bit of a mission there. Keep looking, i'm sure some more will pop up.
