Grande Punto Finally a clean Satsumi! GP so far!

looking good mate. I know you're keen to mod, but think before you buy speaking from experience here. I've wasted so much money buying things I don't like. Remember, fewer, more substantial mods can have a much bigger effect than tons of mods that have little impact.

Not saying you've done tons of **** mods, just speaking from experience before you do pal

Words of wisdom dude, appreciate it!
Like all men, we need people to reign us back when we gain a little momentum!
I.e my best mate has a Hyundai Coupe, lush car, but he has absolutely killed it. I'll post a picture up without him knowing and you can all have a laugh

Next mod will be a carefully considered one.
May well be a standard rear window tint. But how dark does one go... oh the options!

I told my self I had finished modding ages ago, always something new to buy. Other month I decided I wanted black mirrors. Tried to paint my red ones. messed up, smashed them. Had to buy more, yet more £££.

Just one of those hobbies though, costs £££ but is hard to give up. Lets see the hyundai haha

Please see below.

He has done the following:
- Mounted a spoiler on his original spoiler (yes thats right 2 spoilers?!)
- There are now about 100 more small vinyls, including madagascar penguins
- The rims are "custom" sprayed... zoom into the image... it's a horrendous finish
- Sprayed "BEAST" ont he front grille
- Sprayed his seats blue with leather spray paint
- Sprayed the driver seat gold
...where to stop... there's way more stuff he's done

See the images... laugh yourselves silly.

Thinks he can get 3 grand for the car... he'd be lucky to get £300

High jacked another thread yesterday

Possibility of getting exhaust fitted to give it more of a VROOM!
I'm toying with the idea as I've read that exhausts on diesels are pretty average and have had minimal experience with it :yum:

Need to research it.

So on the list - in priority order
1. Window Tints
2. Exhausts
3. Upgraded nightbreaker lights
4. Interior Handbrake/Gear Stick upgrade
5. Undercar LED kit

Another quick update, looking at another members thread and his mods.

A quick win could be spraying my spoiler white to further colour code the car.
Going to photoshop some images later on when I have better pics of my car, let me know what you think lads.

- Is the spoiler easy to get off/put back on?

A black spoiler on a red car looks good but i'm not so sure about a white spoler on a red car, I could be wrong though and other peoples opinion might vary. maybe do a quick photoshop job and see what you think

I have no idea how you would remove the spoiler but getting it back on will be easy.

use tigerseal and get a mate to help you. Once the spoiler is off, mark where it was before, the spoiler sits right on the car so you can place it back on then mark around the edge with either tape or something that can easily be rubbed off. use lots of tigerseal (i made a mistake with my first spoiler by not using enough) and stick it back on, this is where you mate gets in handy. One of you hold the spoiler firmly in position, then the other gets some strong tape and tapes it on tight. Leave it for 24 hours, voila!

absolute magic advice buddy

im going to take a pic later on and photoshop it, just realised that i dont have a good rear end picture of my car (lol lol lol)

got a white colour scheme with the car, although you could well be right, will certainly try and get a visual tomorrow when I can sneak some time off work!

 

[rayrayli88]

Santa has been nice to me and given me an Xmas bonus at work.

Sooooo... let the SHOPPING begin!

Tints are going in and will Photoshop spoiler later as have finally got the rear ended pic of my car

Watch this space kids

Toying with spraying white front grille area.

Also have ordered the following from Euro Car - which in hindsight I should have used for my battery instead of getting from Halfrauds! Would have saved me £25!

2 packs of these lovlies

Don't spray it, vinyl instead.... Easier and cheaper and easily reversible!

 

[RowingLad87]

^I'll second that I'd spray the grilles white too, and then red-badge all round, simple but effective

 

[SJB1985]

Agree with the above

Good shout! Vinyl it is then.

Talltom, you got pics of your ride? Could randomly pop down and check it out hahahaha!

Any experience with tinting, been quoted £100 from local guys, but tempted to do it myself!!!!
Looking at a couple of rolls on the interweb, buy a massive roll and just try it myself. Being a designer and hands on and all that jazz... :slayer:

 

[TallTom]

Yeah check out my members motors thread, I updated today so should be near the top

Additionally, if you do want to pop down and have a look at it and me take you out for a quick spin, then I should be around after xmas etc, up in Edinburgh till then pretty much + busy this weekend

Arriving in the post shortly are these bullets for my mounted rocket and minigun... jokes

Replacement tyre dust caps to swap out the stock ugly ones I got on at the moment

Looks like tint man in Welwyn is ripping me off seeing as I've read some lad got his tinted for £60 yesterday...


See what he quoted me
"Hi Raymond
The price to tint/UV protection will be £165 please let me know if you have any more questions or you would like me to
Book your car in
Many Thanks
Kevin Wing
The Window Tinting Company"

 

[james44422]

60 quid seems like a bargain! Almost too good. Just remember you usuly get what you pay for, at a price like that I'd demand some kind of guarantee
