Chelle Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hi Thought I'd give an update on the car so far. So I got the alloys back a few weeks ago, was really happy with the colour and the way they look Now just have to save up a bit to buy some tyres for the car. Any suggestions on some good tyres would be appreciated. I got a front and rear bumper from the breakers on the weekend which came off a sport. I also just bought a rear boot spoiler for her today Few new things to add to Ruby Scarlett I shall post some picture up soon of the alloys and other little bits. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelle Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Danyutz I got a picture of the spoiler it has to go for repainting, my dad helped me sand it down as the paint had bubbled. It also came with the brake light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 You need an air rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) These pictures were meant to be posted up ages ago but only getting round to it now. Sanded the cover down and resprayed it metallic black with two red strips I changed the aerial to a ripspeed aerial because the original one was ruined, but wanting to change it later. What do you all think any recommendations? (Please excuse the dirt, need to wash the car again after it rained ) Edited August 22, 2013 by Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I really rather like your 'becauseracing' binnacle. Nice work. There's better aerials that look more OEM, Polo 6R or Honda S2000 for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Thanks Koop Thanks for the recommendation on the aerials I will look at both of those. I was thinking of changing it to a shark fin but not too sure. Edited August 22, 2013 by Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophiemasden Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Really like your car looks nice a clean wish mine was this shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Shark fins are great if you can cope with crappy reception You could get a BMW stylee one like I had on the sport & colour code it. I done a guide when I fitted it which you'll find in the how to's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Really like your car looks nice a clean wish mine was this shinyThanks Sophie, needs a good clean after all this rain though. Shark fins are great if you can cope with crappy reception You could get a BMW stylee one like I had on the sport & colour code it. I done a guide when I fitted it which you'll find in the how to's.I am already receiving crappy reception I shall definitely go and check that out, how was the reception with the BMW one?
