Posts: 429 Thanks: 6 Trader Rating: 0 | Well, Its my first car and its orange, 1.2 Dynamic ![]() Had it about a month now, bought it 2nd hand from a local used car dealer. So far no problems to report with it, only a broken rear window washer which is getting fixed under warranty tomorrow Planning to mod it a bit, although may be waiting a while for some coz of insurance and all that Planned Mods: New speakers, HU and amp, sound deadening, possibly sub Front Splitter Head and tail light tints Black Alloys (not too sure on these) Footwell Lights Debadged grille and maybe boot Pressed Metal No. plates Last edited by bludvl_x19; 21-07-2011 at 12:00.

Posts: 1,454 Thanks: 36 Trader Rating: 1 | Re: My Orange Grande Use a hairdryer to heat up the glue, then slide a credit card or suchlike behind it to scrape it off. Any residue can be rubbed off and then polish the part where the strip was and you should get an even paintjob where it was |

Posts: 429 Thanks: 6 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: My Orange Grande I guess you could say it's kinda coppery, the inside is proper orange though, i.e. the dash strip and the seat covers might get a pic up of the inside tomorrow if i can be bothered to clean it.... |
