Re: matts xsi euro project - taylonm - 15-12-2011
Cool project fella, Its moved along really quick considering the time you've owned it.
Re: matts xsi euro project - Matt - 15-12-2011
It did move pretty quick but has slowed abit now, due to weather and no money lol.
Hopefully in the new year I'll be able to sort all this painting out lol
Re: matts xsi euro project - Gunge - 15-12-2011
Looking good mate
I wouldn't go with a massive stretched tyre the wall is made so weak with a stretch, i had 8x18s with 205/35/18 and that bulged the side wall after less than 1k
Re: matts xsi euro project - Curt - 15-12-2011
Brace looks good mate, bolts look a bit better too
Re: matts xsi euro project - Jimmyboycheck - 15-12-2011
what you doing with the induction up there? it was good where it was with lots of air flow.....
Re: matts xsi euro project - Niall - 15-12-2011
If he had it down behind the rad, then if his has the same top hose as mine then I suffered from horrendous heat soak!

And lots of potential to suck up some water... Especially in this weather, I wouldn't have left it where it was and Matt thought it best to be safe so we moved it.
Re: matts xsi euro project - Matt - 15-12-2011
Yeah was moved as it was so wet. It will go back in the summer with a cold air feed
Re: matts xsi euro project - sam - 15-12-2011
Good move tbh mines near enough touching the floor lol
Re: matts xsi euro project - procta - 15-12-2011
looking good there! got me thinking about angel eyes again for my 306, i had a set for the phase1. but one of the LEDs died and it was a right sod to get a replacement, which put me off getting after market lights again.
Re: matts xsi euro project - Niall - 15-12-2011
Oh yeah that was a reason why mine was moved. Drove it through a few puddles and the bottom of the filter was getting damp :o
Btw Matt loving the new colour scheme!

Re: matts xsi euro project - Niall - 16-12-2011
Matt you know you wanna do the black roof lining. Makes the car feel so much nicer inside!!
Re: matts xsi euro project - Matt - 16-12-2011
I really want too. What paint do you use?
Re: matts xsi euro project - Niall - 16-12-2011
Paint is for gays. It goes all crusty with paint. I used suede material and some proper retrimming glue.
Re: matts xsi euro project - Gunge - 16-12-2011
along with black lining you need phase3 cabriolet visors
Re: matts xsi euro project - Matt - 16-12-2011
already got cabby visors in there may retrim it now. Going too look at materialAlso going to spray my inlet. But worked out it will take me 4 days to paint the way I want, with removal, cleaning, painting and refitting. So going to see if anyone near me has a crappy inlet that they wanna swap for my silver one, I'll get the spare done, then stick it on. That way car will only be off the road for like a few hours while I do the swap
Re: matts xsi euro project - Bananalad - 16-12-2011
Car looks great! Lensos suit it down to a t... I want to do my headlining black to but i think it will be too tricky with my sunroof
Re: matts xsi euro project - Matt - 16-12-2011
Sunroof should be fine, if your painting it should be okay, but if trimming it will be a little difficult but do able.
Love my lensos refurbing them at the moment
Re: matts xsi euro project - karl1989 - 18-12-2011
nice car mate. really like the rear bumper. did you smooth the line across the top too?
Re: matts xsi euro project - Matt - 18-12-2011
Yeah smoothed both, front is in the process of being done
Re: matts xsi euro project - karl1989 - 18-12-2011
im trying to get a ph3 rear bumper to do the same. had my front ph3 bumper number plate smoothed but the gf rolled into a taxi and cracked it
. should have done a better job really lol
Re: matts xsi euro project - Matt - 18-12-2011
Just fill it and do it agian. That's what fiberglass was made for
Re: matts xsi euro project - karl1989 - 18-12-2011

Re: matts xsi euro project - Matt - 19-12-2011

But basically, key with sandpaper, skim with P40 to just below where you want the finished surface (don't put too much on as its a bastard to sand back again) and then skim over that with P38 filler and sand back to a nice smooth finish..........
Re: matts xsi euro project - sam - 20-12-2011
