arosa_rory Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Hi guys,As I'm new here I thought I would share with you the pictures of my car. I will satrt with a little bit of history.Basically to cut a long story short, a young lady had the car for about 4 years but only drove it for 2 as 2 years ago she hit a curb on the nearside front wheel and did damage to the wishbone, driveshaft and brake disc.After this happened the car then sat there on her drive for 2 years because she bought another car, however she did buy another set of alloys for it.So yesterday 01/12/2009 I paid £500 for the below! It has 53k on the clock, 16" fox alloys with brand new tyres, also the previous set! An aftermarket steering wheel, tints all round, Lowered 40mm, powerflow exhaust, front splitter.Please enjoy the pics and feel free to comment Edited December 2, 2009 by arosa_rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Looks and sounds like a steal! Lovely colour as Al has said, not much to do and it'll look very smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emz Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Rory.. i'm suprised, it's not actually that bad for that price Need to get some Lupo Rear lights on there though and it will be looking tidy.. although not 100% sure on the exhaust...

arosa_rory Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks for the commentsI started working on it earlier, cleaned the whole outside so its mint, I fitted the new wishbone so the wheel is now aligned properly and tracked up The knuckle joint will be here first thing in the morning so that will be fitted up.I ordered the new side repeaters earlier as one is missing but hey progress is going quickly. I will hopefully mot it and tax it in the next 2 weeks All I need to do now is clean that interior out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arosa_rory Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I am now starting to prep the interir parts for painting. I am going to smooth all the texture out of all the plastics so its smooth as galss and paint them.I am doing the lower dash section and center console either a nice metallic black or the same colour as the car, I haven't decided yet but i will have a couple of weeks before I paint it all.I will keep the progress pictures coming..

arosa_rory Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 A little update,I started doing some work on the car today, I have started getting all the audio visual parts sorted. I haven't got much done today however I have managed to fit my 9.4 inch roof mount screen into place.I have got 7 screens to fit in total, one for each headrest, 2 sunvisor screens and the roof flip down in the center up front. I have also got a pioneer avh headunit that has a screen that flips out and is all touch screen so will compliment it all nicely.I am also fitting the ps2 into the car this week aswell as my split charge battery system. Once these bits are fitted I'm going to respray the cream and grey plastics in the car, I'm going to smooth the texture out so they're like glass and spray them a nice subtle metallic black.Heres some pictures of todays progress: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 cant say i like it mate..itd maybe look a bit better if the roof lining was black too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arosa_rory Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 cant say i like it mate..itd maybe look a bit better if the roof lining was black tooThe whole interior is going to be retrimmed as soon as Ive got all of the fitting, painting etc done, I'm going for a full black and grey leather including the headlining and dash.
