The new car!







There are a few bits which I'll be doing urgently - the paint could do with a good polish and bits need spraying... more rattle cans lol

Needs a new bonnet ideally as it's got a few dents from the previous owner parking too far into a space...

Plans:
Bebadge
Standard alloys (multispokes are a bag of arse to clean)
Bonnet
Colour code mirrors
lower it
sort out engine bay a bit

Re: The new car!

Looks good, I like multispoke alloys but can appreciate how hard they are to clean from just cleaning multispoke look-a-like hub caps, you think the light bodywork will take much dedication? It doesn't seem obvious at all but that might be due to the image sizes.

lol - the only issue at the moment is money, and need to sort a problem I seem to ba having with the throttle not opening right, seems to be "lumpy" like it opens in stages, rather than freely

The bodywork, other than the bonnet and bumper is completely mint - washed, ITR'd (intensive tar remover) and T-cutted the both sides, boot and rear spoiler today, before 2 washes and waxing.

lol - I'll give it a go at some point.

I used T-cut as the passenger side had lots of small scratches on it (like when you go down a country lane and a van goes the other way, you get that tiny bit too close to a bush...)
