As we all love pics i thought i'd stick a URl up for you all to have a look at my chariot. Let me know what you think, Nige has already got it and my blessing to post it on the new Bravo site he has worked so hard on.

Happy Bravo driving to you all..

Re: xmas meet

Steve,
nice car - very subtley done - and not OTT (the black colour helps too)
Just a quick question, where did you get that leather gaitor for your gearstick. My leather is cracking and I want to change it
Also where did you get your grill from?
how much did they both cost?
thanks mate

Mint!

Hi

Nice car. Like the wheels what make are they? I see you have a non-factory fitted stereo what is the surround piece of plastic like? I got mine from halfords and its a crap fit.

Thanks

Strut Brace

Nice, very nice.

Noticed you had a strut brace, what difference has it made?
Was it easy to fit?

 

[Steve]

Me car

Thank you all for your great comments.

Hi Phil,

The gaitor is from Simon Racing and i got it with the chrome suround but i would suggest a momo one for better quality as i intend to change mine soon. The grill i actually made my self, purchasing the mark 2 bravo grill and cutting out the middle platic, sprayed and meshed then fitted. I can give you more tips if you like, i might even do a guide for the site Nige does for us?

JonD,

Hi mate, thanks for your comments, the rims are 17" Kahn rsr's and i love em. The stereo surround is ok actually, not a bad fit at all and what you can see in the driver side door shelf is the cover that slides on looking like the genuine stereo is still there. Beware the halfords model, i have had one and it was well sheeeeit.

Cheers guyz

strut brace fitting

fairly easy bud, you have to take the nuts off the struts then place the brace on and tighten, then tighten the brace from the centre pulling into allignment. makes a huge difference to cornering and have been told it will improve tyre ware as well. The car is also lowered 35mm on PI springs but the back is high in the pic cos i'm not on a flat level surface.

The gautor is about 20.30 quid and the grill was about 50 in total to make.

Hope that helps.

p.s, a big thankyou to reclimus for the side repeaters and Dan Rayner for the side skirts, all purchased through the forum! Cheers fellas P

Re: no air bag

Re: stickers

Silver looks pretty good bud

 

[Steve, Bournemouth]

Silver stickers

maybe we should get stickers of the website that Nige has made too? Are you the person to ask for them Rob, have you got them on your wagon?

again do you have an airbag? how much did it cost all together? and what DO your insurance know about? what effect did it have????????

 

[Steve, Bournemouth]

Re: Re: Silver stickers

i did reply to you mate, the insurance dont care.

i havent told them about everything though, they know about the wheels and the stereo as the boot has some toys too but it was raining and i couldnt be arsed to get wet!

steering whell is made by Kahn, same as my rims and it cost 140 and 30 for the boss.

 

[minirob]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhh

does it still have an airbag????????????????

 

[Steve]

NO AIR BAG NO AIR BAG

Dood, no airbag, it doesn't have one now. I have the original steering wheel with the airbag intact for when i sell the car.
