nice wheels... someone painted your lights the wrong colour tho

 

[chrisunoman]

Nice car!

Not keen on the rear lights though, black-tinted originals would look better imo.

But nice car!

 

[sammiboo]

nice but imo lose the lights - originals are nicer and paint the bumpers

 

[Dan]

Colour code your rear bumper. Not as hard as it sounds. And yeah tinted original lights. Good start mate.

EDIT - beat me to it sammi

Same wheels as me!! nice choice!! Did you have the idiot at halfords telling you that they won't fit?? He was gobsmacked wehn i went back the day after with them on!! car looks nice also!!

 

[punto_simmo]

They did say that they would only fit if i had the back wheel arches rolled. But it didn't need that much rolling back fortunately so it did not cost me much.

 

[steviepab]

nice one!! the guy that i got them off was adiment that i would not get them on my car!! Like i said he had to look twice wehn he saw me there the next day!! It was funny!! Mind you it was in altringham

 

[Bushboy]

yes but people in halfrauds are idiots

apparently you cant get any aftermarket alloys on a cinq. they refused to let me order a new wheel (yes, just 1) as they told me it wouldnt fit, even though i had 3 of them already on the car outside the window!

 

[samwhite59]

Maybe debadge the back next and fit some silver or clear side repeaters

 

[steviepab]

lol sounds about right!! After i took the wheels he said that if tehy didn't fit i could not return them!! Thinking he was cleaver!! I loved proving him wrong!!

 

[punto_simmo]

hehe Ill tell you an even funnier story about halfords

The number plates i got on in 3D text were done by halfords I had them done in June last year and they got 2 numbers the wrong way round and i did not realise myself until 6 months later lol until i was lookin around for car insurance on the net and found out i got the number plate of a 1.4 turbo brava when i got a 1.2 punto lol.

Went back to halfords and the cheaky git thought i was gonna fork out another £60 to have them put right.

AS IF!!!!!!!

 

[steviepab]

can't trust them to do anything right!! Mind you thats what happens when you turn into a franchise. the more money they take the thicker the staff get!! Explains half the staff at my works!!

 

[punto_simmo]

Suppose your right cos the place i work is a small family business and our staff are quite knowledgable about what to do, the thickest people are usually the customers in my place hehe.

:Offtopic: Heah the lads at Halfrauds are muppets and the ones in Motorworld are a damn joke the guy in there was adamant that Bravo wheels would in no way fit my cinq even with different bolts and he still didnt believe me when i showed him the car outside with them on and then he sold me the wrong lock nuts the numpty

back on topic though the car looks pretty nice just needs a bodykit next or at least colour coding especially like the wheels only criticism being that the list above looks like you went Halfords once a week and thought "hmm what can i buy for it today" but apart from that your doing good
