Do you want the reflective bits green that is in the inside of the light round the edge. If yes then i think that would look quite tidy. Im planning on doing mine black in the near future Ps. i have no photoshop skills either and my paint skills are about the same level as yours.

It' seems every now and then we cannot escape being conned by sellers or companies that do shite jobs on our cars. We already have a very good national business directory for good businesses so why not have one where we should be aware of dodgy sellers or companies.

Cooooll. I havn't played on a computer game in years. I used to love gran Turismo and Grand Theft Auto. I just don't have the time anymore. Car, girlfriend, job, people needing systems fitting are just some of the things that stop me. I loved it when you could tune the cars up on GT aswell.

Don't really need to say much as the title is self explanatory

buying a renault how does the price sound?
Bourkey replied to rob_bower's topic in Lifestyle General
Oh it's definately a good car. The seats hold you really well and the engine you are taling about has enough ommmph to pull the car. My friend has never had any problems with the engine. I've actually just sourced a good 1.2 model for a friend at work which she now has. I like the exhaust in the middle on the sport model. I also think the handling is alright aswell. If you look after a renault you wont have any problems but if you don't, then being french it will break all the time. -
Corsa C Wheels. If you sold them you would get quite a bit for them and get some better wheels. ;) Here are some that look like they will fetch quite a bit of money http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Geniune-Vauxhall-cor...1QQcmdZViewItem As Sparky said the PCD is the same but the offset and centre bore is different so you would need spacers and spigots for them to fit right on a Starlet but im not 100% sure if you can put spigots in factory made wheels for specific cars. Personally id sell them and get better wheels.

The warranty left is a good thing. My mate has the same clio and the only problems he has had with it have been electrical. Windows, alarm, lights just randomly not working. But if it's under warrenty then you would get it fixed for free. Nice car to drive. nothing special but comfortable. Personally though (not just because it's a Toyota) i would have the Yaris. My mum has one, My friend has one, and i know of others who have them and they have never had a single problem with them. Im quite liking the 1.5 T-sport at the moment aswell. The new Suzuki swift is also anther favourite of mine. -
I know i love my "Lil' Machine" ;) ;) Get moddin your Seo and it will be show ready in no time. Mines still not finished yet. I don't see how you could get the mani wrong. I would hardly call him a mechanic if he couldn't be bothered replacing a gasket. Mine is running so well. It runs and idles perfectly. It will be good to see you too. I've never had a proper look at a Seo. My car is a little different from when you last saw it. @ Joz - Boy do you feel the effects!!!! Im still surprised at how smooth it pulls through the rev range. @ SiCaln - I am very proud of all the work i've don

Im loving the new silver Starlet. I bet your neighbours wil be thinking you've had a respray. ;)

I wanted to get it all done for Bluewater so i have done it early so im not rushing it together at the last minute. Me and my mates have been working on the car non-stop all weekend as i had so much that i wanted finishing off. It's good to have the bass back but the corolla mani is one of my favourite mods. I wasn't even gonna do it as im getting a 4efte as soon as i can but it was there at a bargin price so i thought what the hell i'll get it anway!!! It idles perfectly and id say it runs much better with this in aswell The car looks a lot better with the tints and no bump strips aswell.
-
Yes Idrees you have got them all right except one minute detail. That black mani isn't just any old starlet mani. It's the corolla one and it makes a lot of difference. It pulls really well in every gear and its so responsive. The throttle has been adjusted aswell so it's instant when i touch the throttle. I wasn't even gonna get one but i spotted it in a scrap yard when i was picking up a load of stuff and the guy said £30 for the lot. ;) ;) Alex (!Rush!) is the one who should take the credit for the mani as he painted it up for me and fitted it aswell. I know how to fit it but i

BIG UPDATE!!!! I havn't been on here for the last week as i've been super busy with the SR. I'll start with the boot as you all keep asking about it. Im very proud of it as it's the lightest boot built ive ever done. Here is how it was done. And the end result: If you recognise the sub and amp it's because it's out of the box i had before. I simply took it apart and put it in my build. The only reason i have done a build was because i hated not having any bass at all but i still wanted it light so everything i used was the lightest. The result is a fant

I think you get them wired to the fog light switch that controls the one at the back. Thats what most people i know say you would do. I would let someone who knows what they are doing do it if you unsure as you dont wana break your lighting system. I reckon i could do it but id need a good look at the switch and wiring as i've never done it on a starlet before.

Wow this is gonna be huge if everyone turns up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on people we need another two names to get to the BIG 40!!!

Is quite a handy guy especially with paint

Patience Patience. All in good time my friends Loads of people have said it looks so much better without the bump strips. I knew it would im just worried about some bozo knocking the side of my car!!!!

21k and over 8 years old. Now thats a minter!!!!!! How much was the exhaust? Is it a full system or just the back box?

What do you do for money and why drive an ep82?
Bourkey replied to NightSpirit's topic in Lifestyle General
Im an Administration Assistant in a Law Firm but as a side earner/hobby i fit sound systems to peoples cars I first bought a starlet as i wanted a better car than my micra when it got stolen and torched. I really wanted a Black SR but with over 2 months of searching and being without a car i gave up trying to find one and found a mint blue Starlet S. I didn't mod it much as i was still looking for a Black SR when just under a year later i found one, i bought it straight away and it's now my current car. -
I take it he told you about this club!!! And i was not revving i was just checking my accelerator was working. . I take it yours is the white one Starlet? If you need any help with anything just get Matt to give me a shout with what you want or ask on here. You can find pretty much everything you need on here though.

Hunt it down and buy it back!!!!!!!!!!! It's mint and one of my favourite UK models.

Im not from failsworth but i used to work there. Ive a friend that still works in failsworth so im in an out of the area all the time. Why have you spotted me cruising by????

Intense More like annoying. It should be sorted for Bluewater anyway.

Welcome. As Enzo said it is pretty simple really It's the light coloured part of dash at the bottom. Your right in wanting to change them as the standard one are poop.I could create a better sound with my teeth than them speakers!!!!! I just put some Pioneer ones in there that were the same size and a sub for the bass. If you want any help with anything just ask.

Little update. I've have pretty much finished the boot now but i'll put pics up when im 100% happy happy with it. I decided to finally give in and lose the bump strips aswell but in doing so i have revealed some shite!!! The drivers side is fine and couldn't look any better but the passenger side has had a very minor bump by a previous owner somewhere down the line. The problem is, whoever has repaird the car they have done a shite job to say the least. To start off with they didn't remove the bump strips when painting it so there is a gap where the bump strip used to be and secondly the
