Idrees Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 Thanks guysStevie I used Tiger SealIncluding the car and everything I think its coming near to £1600 now?

Idrees Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Thanks guys, nope not too much left now I've been bored this evening so I thought I'd try a pinstripe on the bonnet lines seen as though I had some spare, and just to see how it looks.The result:Honest opinions please guys, I'm not too sure about it myself. Should I go out and rip it off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SiCaln Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 like it, but i would prefer it followed the swage lines of the bonnet and went to the left and right at the back rather than straight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Thanks for all your honest opinions guys I've taken it off now though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 i agree with si, but i wouldnt have it come to the front end of the bonnet tho, where u had it stopped was perfect!!PUT THEM BACK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Speedo cluster updateGot these off Stu today (thanks mate)Wasted no time with fitting them, before:After:As you can see the LED bulbs look shit, I'm expecting something better to replace them with and I'll update once they've arrived And if you look carefully the finish on the yellow bits shown in the pictute is shit so they need doing again soon.

steviet Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 You didnt waste any time there idrees,the only thing i would say is to keep the speedo one as standard for the kph,mph,alot easier to read and for mot reasons to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 see if u can get the Glanza S versions man wont have all the holes then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Good work man looks awsome but... will they not read differently?? say like your doing the clock which is 120 on the n/a it will read 180mph!!! Oh and whats planned for the lights? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Stevie cheers for the info I'll put it back to stock at MOT time thenSi I don't have a problem with the holes, I kinda like em actually because they let some light through.Sparky I think its reading in standard kph? Maybe not but I know around 45/50 is actually 30mph.Ordered some proper blue bulb covers for the lights so they should all light up nicely in blue ;)Small suspension updateAlways had this problem with my front suspension:The rubbers been out of place which should actually sit nicely at the top of the spring, and one of the top studs has also been broken for some time (it had two nuts holding the suspension on at the top)Anyway, my brother had a spare set of suspension which lying around (which was buggered) so I thought I'd use the top mounts of the fronts.Started off by stripping his suspension:Followed by removing the shocks/springs off mine.Top mounts compared:This is the brand of my shocks if anybodys ever heard of them before?Got all the suspenion back together and fitted it back to the car.
