Alee83's Cherry Red Rallye - Alee83 - 26-04-2012

Well as I have done a project thread on 306.net I will do one on here as most of you guys know me!

I got my T reg 99 Cherry red Rallye last month. I used to own a Astor 6, but grew out of her and had a Vectra SRi for a bit, but have now returned to the 306.

This car has done a lot of milage, but has had a lot spent! If I could take a photo of every reciept to show you I would. Just as a quick guide to the sort of money, There is new brake calipers alround, freshly painted alloys. 4 new Avon tires, a engine re-build and new gearbox. Another reciept is for the interior, as it has been re-upholstered, that was £600 alone! Big Grin

Right, here was my old car...

Here is the Rallye the day I got her and some the day after, when I had given her a wash!! Big Grin

Then I decided straight away, as you do, on most of the things I wanted for her.
First was Aero wipers, clear side repeaters and Crystals.

Then I ordered some new decals as the ones on the doors were a little scratty and I needed a new one for the bonnet as I need to get it replaced (new one coming Sunday) due to micro blisters all over the paintwork! I also got some spares to do little rallye esk stuff with... Idea

I then polished and waxed the whole car!!

[Image: IMG_20120414_113026.jpg]

I still had my Sub and Amp from the last car and had an Alpine unit already fitted with ipod connection! So I ordered a Vibe flat 8amg cable set and wired in the sub. I also got some Alpine Type R components for the rear shelf, this didn't go as planned as the speakers were huge, so had to butcher a phase 2 shelf I had lying around for some supports! Smile

[Image: IMG_20120414_194447.jpg]

I ordered some HID's from China off the Bay (5000k H7R's, DIGITAL)

[Image: IMG_20120414_194517.jpg]

The car never came with a battery cover so thanks to Karl1989 on .net I now have a metal one which I have painted, while doing so I painted some eyebrows for the crystals for a meaner look!

[Image: IMG_20120424_173652.jpg]

Then from a lovely guy on here I got a new rear badge, the resin type!! Looks mint... IMO Big Grin

And that's it for now, bang up to date!

I pick up my new bonnet on Sunday morning and Hopefully pick up another inlet fannymould for £22 off ebay tomorrow, which I hope to get powder coated red very soon!

Comments welcome as always guys!! Big Grin

Liking the cherry red!

Re: Alee83's Cherry Red Rallye - Atterz - 26-04-2012

Not a fan of the thing on the windscreen, but other than that it looks like a really nice example!

Re: Alee83's Cherry Red Rallye - Ed Doe - 26-04-2012

did you buy that from Pugplus at the top of a hill in Wales??? That looks uncannily like the view from the top of the common in front of his place...

A view I know well, on account of waiting most of the day for him to put the interior and front end back onto a car I drove from portsmouth to his to buy...

Re: Alee83's Cherry Red Rallye - devils_fuel - 26-04-2012

Re: Alee83's Cherry Red Rallye - Alee83 - 30-04-2012

Small update....

Fitted the bonnet I got from jamiemufc93 on the .net forum, it's a smoother finish than the brail bonnet I had on origionally, but it is faded more and a slight shade out!

Not sure what I'm gonna do about it yet, but I will figure it out! Also not sure which bonnet to have on for FCS!!

Anyway, pics...

Colour difference doesn't look massive on the photo...

[Image: 20120430172935.jpg]

Also, fitted my battery cover now, I think it looks ok! Smile

Just got to get some xsara washer jets and also sort out my other inlet fanny mould for powder coating!!

Small update today...

Been finding it difficult to get going with my shoulder hurting!

As the sun was out this morning I got up early and started painting my brake calipers!!
I went for yellow as it is my "accent" colour of choice!

[Image: 20120507111902.jpg]

Doesn't look too bad!

[Image: 20120507111930.jpg]

Also, fitted some led reversing bulbs! They look a little bluey in the photo but they're not up close! They are very bright CREE 5 led's, super super bright! It only has 1 smd in it!

Drivers side is LED (just in case you couldn't tell! Wink

Re: Alee83's Cherry Red Rallye - Dum-Dum - 07-05-2012

Have you used those LED bulbs at night yet, i had some and found them much worse than standard ones.

Looks like a nice motor mate and I like the bits you've done to it except the boot badge which looks odd imo!

How many miles has it done?

Alee83's Cherry Red Rallye - Matt - 12-05-2012

Deeper lines would create a bigger bulge.....
