Liam_D Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 That looks pretty cool mate to be honest. Didnt think it was going to look any good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Painting those bits black makes the car looks so much better, I always thought it just didnt look quite right when they were yellow. Looks 100% perfect now. Looking forward to seeing this at the meet next month. Proper amazing job you have done on the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 Also got the passengers side done this eveningThe bumper was off the car and I had some black paint left over, so I thought I'd paint the fog light surround as plannedIt'll look abit like this:I'll get some better pics up tomorrow once it all back together. I need a headlight motor thingy too for the passengers side, hopefully I'll get that off my mates breaker.Anybody wanna buy me a replica optional front splitter?

Idrees Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Fitted my wind deflectors todayAlso been playing around with my rear lights. I've wired the bottom row of the cluster to the sidelights, and used a dual fillament on the drivers side so it can also be used as the foglight too. Not finished yet, still need to get some Red bulbs (hopefully LED ones) and finish the wiring off. They'll look like thisPicked up a new headlight motor too, so I can get the front end back together once that and the headlights on 98 spec front foglights and DIN brackets are paid for so I can't wait to recieve them!! Need to sort the headunit wiring too because it short circuited somewhere.Hmmm I think thats about it for now, but the MOT list includes:Rear brake shoesNew headlight bulbsNew wipersHandbrake adjustmentFront bumper bracketsPassengers front wheel bearing (I suspect)I'm all excited about the car again I really really CANNOT wait to get it on the road ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Thanks guysI found out the new motor didn't even fit so I've put the old one back on, and it seems to work properly now so thats all good!Put the bumper back on and thought I'd take a few snapsI love how such little things can make such a big difference to the look of the car. Personally I'm loving the black surrounds more than I thought I would! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 proper bo i tell thee!!!looks spectacular dude!!!! outstanding work!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Cheers PhilYet another small update seen as though I've been in the garage with the car for hours!Firstly, got me a new headunit But the existing wiring was all messed up, cut and shut etc from the previous owner. So i chopped it all off and got new wiring from a EP breaker and wired it all up neatly using proper wire connectors. Needs finishing off a little though actually, which I'll do when I get some more wire connectors. I also have all four speakers working after all! Pioneer 4" in the front and 6x9" JVC's on the parcel shelf. Rear ones are shafted though so I wanna replace with some sexy new Pioneers when I have the money for them. Also got my rear clusters all wired up how I wanted them. The foglight doesn't seem to work though, I think theres a problem with the switch but I'll find out when I see to it.How the lights look (Pure Glanza styleee, even in the dark now!!) ;)Thats just with the sidelights on. You can see the bottom rows actually have clear bulbs, but I'm waiting for my red LED bulbs to arrive yet so that won't be a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
