I had no idea you took those! Surprisingly it doesn't look too dirty! At least the exhaust is fitted properly now!

[puglove]

are we looking at the same car scott?? astor looks dirty even when clean !!

[Dum-Dum]

She looks good IMO

[Carlos182]

Well as some of you know, I am now the proud owner of this!
Hopefully will have a few more pictures soon, but I've been at work all weekend and I don't get a day off until tomorrow.
Few little things I want to sort out, but nothing major! plus all of those things are soon forgotten when you plant your right foot!

[Ed Doe]

Good to see you the other day buddy

You've got a cracking car there too, low mileage, and very well looked after

[samass]

Just too bad its lost any soul really...

And that I've lost my custom name under my user name D:

[Carlos182]

Righty-o. Had a day off work today, so set about giving it a good clean.
First off before washing was to get the plastics looking black again.
Started with the spoiler - midway through;

Did the mirrors, scuttle panel etc too, but those aren't that interesting to look at!

Caps went back on the wheels and then had a quick wash, ended up looking like this;



Decided to freshen up the wheels with a fresh coat of paint too, they aren't too bad, but are looking a bit tired. Only got one done today, but looks better for it. Also gave the bolts a quick blast over with some silver as they were looking tired too.


Then decided to have a play with the spare fuel strip things. Thought I'd try white and see what it looked like.

Don't like it, so back to this


Then went for a quick driver after



Yes, I'm a picture whore.

Looking awesome mate!

[ginge191]

Such a nice car; height spot on, wheels spot on, not a fan of the f'arbon but each to their own!

beauty!

[Scott]

That looks awesome Carl So pleased to see that the car has gone to someone with some proper enthusiasm for it who will get things done. The spoiler and wheels look much tidier now and help finish the car! Love it.

I'm hoping the car was still nice and easy to clean? It was clayed, polished and waxed about 6 weeks ago so should still be good!

[samass]

:O


have you RAISED the front??!!??

[Scott]

It's on eibach springs rather than the coilovers mate

[samass]

Ohhhhhhh that makes sense.

[Carlos182]

Looking awesome mate!

Cheers buddy!

Will be eventually changed when I get the proper colour scheme underway!

Still fairly easy. Needs another coats of wax or two for my liking, but that's just me!

:O


have you RAISED the front??!!??

As Scott said, nope.
But I do have plans for that

[Carlos182]

Think I may have found some new wheels

[Scott]

Hero. They're exactly what I wanted to do!

[Just Sean]

That was my backup colour scheme! Will look the tits!

[Tom]

Current wheels held on by studs and nuts?

[Carlos182]

Hero. They're exactly what I wanted to do!

Mhmm, might get them in purple before Coombe all being well.
Banding is definitely on the cards though!
P.S - Any chance of the thread title being changed? :p

I was tempted by yellow, but then I saw you've already nabbed that!

Current wheels held on by studs and nuts?

Nope, I'm looking into stud conversions though!

[Jonny b]

Got some mo5's sat here needing a home!'

[Matt]

Would edit your title but only Scott or Fooby can.
As I can't edit Scott's stuff as he is the boss

[Piggy]

those rims look epic. I be terrified of stone chips though!

[Scott]

Carl if you're planning on banding then I'm guessing you'll be getting normal steels rather than trying to do the c5s?

Indeedy good Sir.

[Grant]

Please candy purple ALL the things! That colour is epic

[Jtrigga]

Looking very good, just wondered what product you used on the spoiler and other plastics.

Tiger seal works a treat

[Niall]

Candy Purple has to happen! You wont believe how much i was hassling Scott to do this!

In fact, i still am for his new car. Candy purple wheels on a gay white car?
