north wales loop Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 cool my bro had these wheels on his , we ended up rolling the rears flat as he was running a 5mm spacer and the fronts only needed a slight roll. what tires you running on them? he had 185,45's on his and it sat sweet.

Brad1992 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 looking good matey! Howd you manage to get the speedo surrounds off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieranbolton Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 i got bored tonight and sealed my alloys with the poor boys I also was in need of a new car radio so bought one of these :http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pio-deh6400bt-pioneer-deh-6400bt.htmlAlso got a set of brand new mudflaps... but not sure whether they will look right or not :/ along with top mounts, and bump stops etc Cheeky clean and seal Thats all for now Kieranlooking good matey! Howd you manage to get the speedo surrounds off?Two screws if you look under the surround (one screw in each bubble) Then put your steering wheel to the bottom setting and get a small torx screwdriver in there to get the screws out then pull towards you i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieranbolton Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Right then, im quite possibly the worst person for updating a thread? And i have blown the dust off this thread... anyway.... updates ?Soon after those rolling shots were taken, i decided the modern lines just wernt me Ended up selling them due to all kinds of things like rubbing etc... anyway bought these instead :RH CupsWhilst i was now happy with how it looked i then moved onto ICEpurchasing these :Pioneer 6400BT - Great head unitI teamed it with some Focal Access 165'sThen got a Kenwood Sub (600W) - The sound quality is amazing I then got bored for a while and sold the cups on and ran around on my sport alloys Took it for a Pre-MOT and it needed a bottom arm, and CV boot, However i had an EPC light come on every now and again, So replaced the HT leads too, And the Fan temperature switch Then a couple of weeks ago i managed to grab these for a bargin, And some other bits and bats This is : Rear bumper, Front bumper, Drivers side rear light, Passenger door and Mirror, (Forsale)I Then set about smoothing the rear bumper off, This was hard but managed it in the end While this was going on i managed to get my hands on some nice Retrostar'sAndddddd Your now upto date.... Just the other day i finished the bumper off and gave it a test fit before paint Thats all for now folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work in progress yo! i kinda needed my car so i just put it all back together Tracking needs doing, 2 new tyres on the retro stars and an MOT this month Kieran Edited October 21, 2012 by Kieranbolton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieranbolton Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just a quick update Passed its MOT with just an advisory on the near side wheel baring, So after too'ing and fro'ing i managed to get the hub off (the trackrod ends were seized on) However bought 2 trackrod ends so i guess ill do the other side next time i take the wheel off.... anyway...It was plain sailing for a week or so after that, I had her slammed again etc and then on the way to work yesterday, BAM Snap, Pedal box.... So this week will be spent stripping it out and getting the pedal box out For now here's a couple of photo'sFront end getting there slowly....Ill grab some more pictures of this tonight, Becuase it really does look better Thanks for reading KieranPs :Sly rear bumper shot!

James827 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Whilst it admire your DIY approach I do think that front bumpers gunna crack and split.plastic is flexible and filler is not, i hope there's lots of plastic welding under the filler too!

on it in a lupo Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 looking good fella and what james is saying can be ture but my mate done his polo front with filler and fibre glass stuff last year andits still going strong exept one little crack and thats only there cos he was drifting in wet lol and hit a trolly bay in asda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 i dunno, ive never done this before, but just going by what many people off here have advised.plastic welds can crack too but just not as easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieranbolton Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thankyou for the great replies Without sounding like a "ner ner na ner ner" The back has been completly cut out which allowed me to seat the indicator panel whereever i want it too (Hence the ductape) I then plastic welded the back which has kept some flexibility in the bumper, then skim filled over it, I actually ran a test on the bumper and indicator panel by prising them apart and i probley got a good 30 degrees in seperation before i saw a crack Anyway time will tell, Id like to hope that i would snap the indicator panel before i cracked the filler Thankyou for the feed back On another front, My Clutch died recently whist i thought it was the pedal box, it turns out it was the clutch cable which ive now fitted, Also whilst i was on ordered the Foglights for the front end tooKind regardsKieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieranbolton Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Fitted the HID's into the fogs and bought myself another servicing kit..... yep, the old girl is necking onto 150k Also ripped the front bumper off... foggys all ready to go CheersKieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
