Cheuchter Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Cheers for the good comments folks Had an unexpected find at the scappies today, went with a mate who needed some bits for his car and we came across a splitter from another car that, with a little fettling and fine tuning, will be just perfect.On my phone right now but pics of test fit to follow!!

Cheuchter Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Update - Time to get pics up of test fitting my new splitter My mate spotted it on a Proton Wira when we were down the scrappies yesterday. I wasn't to sure to begin with but he persuaded me it would work and I parted with £8 Will need a bit of work to get it fitting 100% and then some paint - I think it's gonna look awesome and a little different to the norm Today my wind deflectors arrived, the were a doddle to fit so I gave the car a clean and then went for a wee drive and some pics - Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 That splitter looks like a factory item, it fits and looks really well! Get her painted and fitted! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cheuchter Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 That splitter looks like a factory item, it fits and looks really well! Get her painted and fitted! ;)Haha cheers man ;)It's not quite a straight fit, had to cut a couple of inches off each end and then bond the end pieces back on. Got most of the bonding done today. Wee bit more to do tomorrow, finish off the filler, sand and smooth of the edges of end pieces and then get it ready for paint! Also installed some 6x9s I had lying around into rear shelf. I can actually listen to my tunes with volume and clarity On that note, I fancy upgrading the pitiful fronts. Can anyone tell me what size they are and if there are any good upgrades to be found that would still use original location? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I believe the fronts are 10s, but dont quote me on that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cheuchter Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Update -Had a productive day getting splitter painted and fitted. It's not perfect but then neither is the car so I'm happy enough, I think it looks ace tho - Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheuchter Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Was at a bit of a loose end earlier today so I gave the car a clean and took some pics -Wheels next!! Also, I quite fancy a TTE spoiler after seeing an SR parked next to me when I came out of tesco yesterday. Anyone on here with a white SR @ Dunfermline tesco about 8pm ish last night? Looked good.

Liam_D Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I have a green TTE Spoiler you can have for £50 mate, in great condition would just need a respray to be perfect. Car is looking great though mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
