[MrMurray20]

Ordered my plates tonight I'm just praying they are here before Saturday so I can fit everything ready for the Nottingham meet on Sunday!!

[MrMurray20]

These all came earlier;
Abarth stubby aerial (works like a dream)
White dice lock on dustcaps (not to everyone's taste but better than having none)

Chrome indicator bulbs (DETANGOED LIGHTS FTW)

Fitted them all earlier and I'm happy just waiting for my new plates to arrive now. Looking forward to having a nice clean front end. POSTOFFICE IS SLOWWWWW

 

[MrMurray20]

Well these little beauty's turned up today then!! So happy with how they have turned out! Wanna get them on the car as soon as. One problem though..... They didn't send the fixing stickies! Sent them an email saying this so I'm not waiting for a reply.
If anyone on here knows of anywhere that's sells some strong double sides sticky pads let me know ASAP!

I wanna get them on before Sunday so I need someone to enlighten me

[MrMurray20]

That's the stuff mate £5.50 and its on a roll so you get more than enough

 

[MrMurray20]

I'm gonna pick some up tomorrow. I don't want to screw it on though so I'm worried it won't be strong enough so I may put a few blobs of super glue in the mix aswel lol
I'll get pictures on tomorrow when they have been fitted

Well mine are on with that stuff mate and have been for about 10 months at least.

How much did the plates cost and where from mate?

 

[MrMurray20]

45quid from plates4cars mate. They look so good can't wait to get them on the car I'm just worried it won't still well enough as I'm not screwing them lol

 

[MrMurray20]

*update*
Bought my adhesive pads for my fresh new plates, I'm gonna wait until it's a bit cooler outside to put them on, it will be today though so I'll get pictures on later. I'm currently too busy watching TV with a fan cooling me down

I also bought a microfiber wash mit aswel (hate sponges)

Must admit I've been pricing these plates up now !
They look beautiful

 

[MrMurray20]

I was the same I went on the site after my brother got some normal plates and saw these beauty's . The manufacture quality on them is crazy though. They are so much better in person aswel! I'd recommend them to anybody.

Sam

 

[MrMurray20]

At last I've got them on, HUZZARRRRRR

so stoked on how they look. Couldn't be happier! The site says they are 100 percent legal but we shall see if I get stopped for them lol
They didn't send me the stickies so I bought some from Halfords so hopefully they do the job

Do you like the guys and girls??

Sam

Before and after below

 

[MrMurray20]

No updates for today, gonna jet wash, shampoo, Polish and then wax the car tomorrow ready for the Nottingham meet on Sunday.
Gonna have a play with some autosol and my exhaust tip aswel while I'm at it, so I'll get some pics to document that aswel.

Also it turns out my ff stickers will be here next week so I'll get them on ASAP aswel
For the next few weeks/months until I get some sort of pay rise the updates are likely to be thin so if anyone has some cheapish mods that would suit don't hesitate to let me know as I don't have much experience with molding as of yet

Many thanks
Sam

 

[SJB1985]

The autosol is brilliant mate thats what I use on mine mate

 

[FatherJack]

You got any wind deflectors MrMurray20 there cheap and effective mod I think

 

[MrMurray20]

Yes mate I do wanna change to the team heko brand though as these are a fiat original part but I'm not sure yet as ey look different to the hekos as they are aren't as tinted. that probably shows them best, they are just a bit lighter. One of them is a bit nakered though so I may just switch them up for the hekos

Sam

 

[MrMurray20]

Well after the Nottingham meet which was quality despite half the people not turning up, I have come home with a growing list of short term/ long term things I want to get when the money situation is better so here it is.

Things I want:
Abarth headlights
Abarth taillight
Drivers and passenger tints
Rear bootlid spoiler
Eibach sport lines
Fresh stickers
Side sticker removal/ or to do my unique idea (more to come on that)
Fresh refurb of my wheels
Sun strip to be fitted


Quite a list I admit, and no doubt it will be the cheaper stuff to be done first but WATCH THIS SPACE lol

Sam

 

[SJB1985]

The list sounds great

 

[MrMurray20]

Not much of an update but still,
Emailed a few different places around me to look into drivers and passenger windows tints, waiting for replies now.
Found an unpainted spoiler on ebay for around 65 pounds after postage etc which is a bit steep so I think I'll keep looking and saving more
Found some abarth headlights for around 90 pounds. The repo ones not the fiat ones but I've rear good things about repo stuff so I'm not too fussed but again I can't really afford them so that will have to be put on hold also. Hoping to get a pay rise soon which should help matter a lot, then I'll be able to come back with a proper update and get stuff fitted, *cough lowers cough* NEED THEM
