Re: "Jess The Diesel Machine"

I had that choice to make, I went against leather as it seemed to soft and you could see the previous owners arse print :/ woodliegh seemed ok, they even did a repair to my car within the 3 month warranty period and gave me an hurrendous courtesy car, overall I found them ok, although I have heard bad reviews of their customer care *cough* bennet *cough*

No I haven't had the dash done either mate

Hope Jaz doesn't mind me knicking this picture but...

I want to do something like this when I buy some new badges, but can't really work out a decent colour scheme, I want to personalise it though, played with a few photoshops but nothing really seems to work except black and gold hehe any ideas folks?

i dont mind fella i think that will look cool

What colour scheme do you think will look good though?

dannyjb · Jan 8, 2011

black & gold sounds good. not seen that before. not sure how it would look on a blue car though

... & have you decided what you're doing about headlights. i'd be interested to see how you did them if you went with 'option 2' and spray the standards black. loving your car though, looks the dogs

willeywilson · Jan 9, 2011

cheers mate, really appreciate it. I haven't decided yet no. to be honest I've moved into my own place and with working and uni i dont get a lot of time anymore, let alone any money haha.

Re: "Jess The Diesel Machine"

Tbh. I've been looking at it and i may debadge the front and just use the red badges everywhere else. I've got my abarth alternatives on now too and put the blue centre caps in for the time been, but it looks a bit pants

ahh fair enough mate. i know what you mean. still, if you ever do decide to do it make sure you let me know

if only money grew on trees...

willeywilson · Jan 9, 2011

If only ey, but yeah, if I ever do it I'll be sure to right a guide. Hopefully I will have some exposable cash in the summer as I will be on my industrial placemnet, hopefully

good lad! yer, i can't wait for summer, i'll be earning a lot more than i am atm. might have to treat my car just slightly

Haha to anything in particular?

depends on what i get done between now and then. possibly some abarth fronts

willeywilson · Jan 11, 2011

Me likey... abarth rears?

steady on, one at a time! haha. i'd rather get fronts first, i dont think rears are worth the money imo.

willeywilson · Jan 11, 2011

haha I dont think the fronts are... £300 for what is essentially the standard lights painted black. :/ you'd be better off getting some second hand standards for £70 and splitting them. This is my plan... eventually.
Really want to get my sub sorted at the moment though. I've been planning on fitting everything down in the wheel well, but I saw that astra on detailing world and decided to go slightly better than my original idea. as well as try to straighten one of my mjet alloys and refurb them, then get shot of these Abarth alternatives as they look like 15"s unforutantely... may look better once the car is cleaned, but I think it's the colour contrast

very true, but they make a much bigger difference than the rears. i would love to do that, i just wouldn't trust myself doing it. hence why you need to do it first

that astra is immense. that ICE install was crazy. the amount he must have spent on it, he had sound deadening everywhere, and that stuff isn't cheap! if i had the money i would 100% do something along those lines, but as it stands i'm gonna have to make do with my set up as it is.

one of my wheels needs straightening as well. someone tried to fix it but they said it was fubar! aha, yer 15"s are a bit poor

you spraying the m jet alloys a different colour or leaving them?

willeywilson · Jan 11, 2011

I was gutted when I put them on, they look so good off the car then as soon as they go on, the massive arch gap and colour of them take them from 17" down to 15" :/
As for the Mjets, I have plans to do something similar to these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19-RS4-ALLOY-..._tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item5adcf43be6 or the two tone alloys for the GP, just need to do a photoshop to decide on what parts to do what colours. As in do I do all the face silver, or just the spokes, or just the twin spoke parts... tricky decision. they need a massive refurb though, lots of sanding, filler primer, and liquid steel to get them smooth again.

dannyjb · Jan 12, 2011

yer i bet :/ i like the sound of that, look forward to seeing them. hmm, yer get photoshopping ha. you planning on refurbing yourself??

i've noticed in your signature that you've got the standard indicator bulbs.. you not got silver ones? if not its worth changing them

willeywilson · Jan 12, 2011

Yarp, standard indicators unfortunately. I just can't be arsed change them to be honest haha. Yeah I will be doing them myself, that's if I can get the bent one straightened. Depends how much damage is done tbh.
Just had an interesting moment where someone thought I had hit them, which I hadn't, even though they were cutting me up. Ended up in a police station as this guy was following me round an area I don't even live in. 0_0 have to admit, I was a bit scared haha.
