[flint]

my fault, you know what they say about sarcasm lol.

 

[willeywilson]

I do haha. I had to read it again to see the bold! I didn't have my glasses on the first time haha. looking very nice though mate. mines in the bodyshop this week. cant wait get it back

 

[flint]

mine is going in next week while im on holiday from work, getting a full machine polish and a few stone chips repaired........

 

[willeywilson]

Mines having the Fiat Air dam kit smoothed in and sprayed up, was supposed to be having the alloys done in anthracite but he cant do it on such short notice. cant wait til thursday =D

 

[flint]

if you are having wheels done, i would advise powder coating rather than spraying them, its far more durable. and get them done gun metal gloss finish, looks the mutts then......

 

[angeline1988]

Tints rnt illegal on the front, po po told me u can have them on the front but they have to let 70% light thru, never pulled with the clio, they let 50% thru, and the c2 are full on illegal think they let 30% thru agen never pulled in 2 years

 

[flint]

i think the police want a reason to pull you tbh ie driving like a fool through built up areas etc, ive only ben pulled once in 20 years ......

Yeah the bosyshop said that but didnt really want to pay the extra, ended up having to pay the tax man for allowing me to drive on the shocking ****e roads of britain for another year so they wont be done any time soon, may just save and get some abarths

 

[flint]

i prefer the standard wheels refurbed tbh. if you can hold up a post office in the near future a nice set of oz wheels would do a treat ......

 

[willeywilson]

hahaha I do like the titanium 18" Abarth ones that come with the assetto kit but Sgpetch sell the 17" version for a tad under £700 for 4 :| which I aint prepared to pay to say the least. I'd probably kurb them the week I got em haha. I like the standard Mjet alloys but they are a pain to clean. I did a quick photoshop of the abarths on mine and I think they look sweet especially with the huge red calipers behind them (even if they are in the wrong position haha) check my MMthread for the pic

 

[flint]

you think they are a pain to clean? you can come and do my zcw`s they are a nightmare on elm street, freddies revenge to clean. i did them today and it took me a complete c.d. from start to finish including dressing the tyres lol. mind you 25 in the shade, and a bit of music to entertain the pensioners next door cant be bad

well its easter 2011, just had a full service, years tax, k+n filter, tmc tuning box, and some ferrari wheel centres to replace the porsche ones i wasnt too keen on. a full wash / polish and hoover later, add a touch of sunburn on the shoulders, and im all set for another year of trouble free motoring..... i still love me lil car
if only i can find the time to actually open the clay kit .......

 

[TJ07]

I used the Bilt Hamber clay bar on mine the other day, amazing stuff and took less time than I thought it would… well worth the effort!
How’s the TMC kit? What’s your opinion? :tempt:

 

[flint]

very happy with it, makes the car far more nippy, gives the odd surprise to fellow motorists that think you are in a 1.2 ...... best £ part ive added so far.

 

[flint]

well i had my first mot yesterday and it went straight through with no issues, had a 3 year service too so i got another years motoring ahead thats all paid for, fingers crossed. ive had no problems at all over the past year, the tmc box is performing well, the k and n filter gives a nice little sound when you give it some grunt, all in all i still love me motor. i am however having my wheels done in gloss black over the next few weeks just to change things up a little, ive had enough of gold and so many people reconize my motor from my road rage its unreal lol..............
just also a point to note, paying out for a full body mop was also a great investment, did a wash and autoglym polish last week and still looks better than new.

Get some black detail on there!

hmmm trade?

 

[flint]

never say never buddy

 

[flint]

well i know my car is dirty but just put me wheels back on after a satin black refurb of the wheels, the shocks are sitting hih in the photo as i need to go round the block to settle them back in, but you get he general idea, i think the gold was a bit too young for me and the black brings out the colour of the tints........

 

[Booth]

Not gonna lie, I preferred the gold and actually don't think those alloys suit black.
But that's just me!

All that matters is you like them at the end of the day!
