Opinions/ help

[BarnsleyNath]

Hi guys, just wanting some opinions of where to go next with the old girl.

So far this is what she's looking like minus bump strips took them off at work I'll put a pic up in a bit. Just unsure as to what to do next, if anything, with spending much money?

Cheers Nath

Am currently bidding on a small lip spoiler on eBay and 100 quid there yours haha

And they're the £80 ones off Ade?

£70 yeah

ZING

 

[karlj]

£70 yeah

In that case £65 and I'll have them off you

I re-balance and put fresh valves in each one though so that at least gains £10 in value

That just saves me a job

Second hand valves and balance weights dont sell for much. I'd take the £65

At the very least I'll break even on them but best would be swaps for me?

 

[BarnsleyNath]

The rims aren't particularly for sale unless I break even or there's something to swap,

am needing some opinions though as I'm at a complete loss as to what to do next on my budget?
Cheers

Black headlight mod is cheap and effective Nathan
And get those door handles either colour coded or peanut buttered

Well I got some black plastic ones (dont think it's noticable in the picture) and fitted them at the weekend while I paint the other ones and autoglym gel works wonders on everything including airbox cover and a few other bits

And do you mean that chrome middle trim thingy black? What's the best way to do it?

 

[karlj]

Take the glass off, mask and spray. That's how I did mine.....

I'm only messing with the wheels as much as I'd like to have them the missus would kill me

What paint did you use and how long did it take? Can't afford to have car off road much more than a day

 

[karlj]

Normal black spray nothing special and and hour or so to sort the head lights and about half a day to make sure the paint was dry

So just the middle bit of the unit? Any pics of what it should look like?

 

[karlj]

Somewhere I'm Charlie's blog, iirc near the middle

How odd, a Yorkshireman that doesn't want to spend any brass!

This should sort you out Nathan

When I did mine it took me about 2 hours all in

 

[MicrAde]

As you can see I went the whole hog and blacked everything except the headlight reflector ( ffs dont paint that bit! )

Yeah ave already spoke to one of mot testers at work so know what I can and can't spray from that point anyway haha

whats your opinion on the grills? think they kinda break the black up but can't make my mind up

 

[BarnsleyNath]

Would I need a high temp paint for the lamps if I'm wanting to put xenons in or would that be better anyway? And does anybody somebody selling facelift fog lamps to fit mine?
