asa.mansfield Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) My 1st car and the Glanza S This is how i got the car Playing with both cars before selling the Red Starlet Few photo's of the Glanza S as bought! Next photo's are more recent... I've bought recaro's I've also got new wheels because I bought the car with wolfrace wheels so i bought Rota's GT3's and i got them refurbished and sprayed black without the polished lip.plus ive got a UKSO Elite sticker for the window because i wanted to see what a window sticker was like and i started to like it so kept it I've bought side skirts and a front JAM splitter to go on and it will be fitted and then its in for a re-spray on the 1st of July Also in 2 to 3 months time i should be picking up my BBS rm's or rs's so that will be interesting End of this month i'm giving it a good service and got some things to fit for under the hood to make it colorful! Will update with photos soon!! Edited August 20, 2013 by asa.mansfield Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rusty wipers,before i sprayed them after i sprayed themwhen i got time im going to do them better lol, first try was a bit of a tester. tomorrow im handing my car in for a re-spray and also fitting parts before the spray such as;side skirts and a front splitter i cant wait to see it all on when my car is back from re-spray i need to service it and ive got a sprayed rocker cover to fit and blue hoses.. Here's some new random photo's.. Right when i started this blog i said i was going to buy a set of BBS wheels because its not often you see a Glanza on BBS' and im all about being different.well here is the BBS' ive bought ;)BBS RM's 15" ET33 2x6.5j 2x7j me picking them up yesterday.. my plans for them is spray them all gold with a polished lip, can't wait to get them on!!! woo its coming together slowly guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

asa.mansfield Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Good news... the BBS' are finally assembled and fitted after all that time and money! While i assembled the wheels, i took photos of the process how i assembled my split rims.... firstly i went over all the the deep dishes (2xhalf inch deep, 2xinch deep) with like a hard sponge, not sure of the correct name, but it certainly got most marks out by doing this...as you can see its on the end of the drill and the drill is mounted to the workbench... after all 4 dishes was complete i then went on to different stages of sand papering them down.. starting with 600, then 800, then 1200. when the sand papering was done i went onto the polishing which i luckily own a machine, i used a polishing soap but auto sol is just as good photos below show how the dishes turned out after polishing.... while i was busy doing the dishes i had the bases powder coated gold (like a subaru gold) now i had to sort out the bolts which i came up with a problem with. when i took the bolts out of the bag it came in i counted 118 bolts, plus 1 odd one and 1 snapped one and i needed 120. so i went out and bought myself new one which i was pretty shocked at the price for bolts, but it had to be done! i still went through the process of cleaning the 118 bolts and i done it but soaking them in genuine coca cola... next photo is just a sneak peek of what they would look like with dishes on. (at this time i was waiting for my center caps to be painted) center caps came back... sneak peek of all wheels with dishes on and center caps in... the night we actually assembled the wheels when the new bolts arrived. i went for Gold bolts as it wasnt much in it with price difference with the chrome bolts and with the turn out i was glad i went for gold bolts! i cleaned out all the threads first... applied silicone on... put the dishes on and bolted them....(the boy above gave me a massive hand assembling the wheels) after assembling ..... before and after.... all i needed to do now is put tyres on and fit them to the car... now on the car..... fitted private plate at the same time...... popped down the gower for the weekend.but now need my arches rolled lol.... would love to hear your feed back... dont be shy!!

James21 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Wheels look awesome mate! Never seen a wink mirror before either!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asa.mansfield Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 thanks plus i always like trying new things and being different lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James21 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Did u not find a way to mount it where u could keep the visors? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asa.mansfield Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 basically you remove the visors and the wink mirror acts as a long sun visors basically with 5 mirrors and you can see majority of you blind spots too. it comes in pretty handy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James21 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Is it just a universal one? Quite unique for the starlet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 i has some rs's on my old white V Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asa.mansfield Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 ive only seen them fitted to civics because i know its a kinda honda scene lol, but i thought id buy one and just make it fit. fitted by 2 self tappers and no mess or stress Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asa.mansfield Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 i has some rs's on my old white V was looking at rs's at the same time but the rm's came up cheaper than i thought but by the time i finished with them and the money i spent on them i could of bought myself some rs's lol. and after i finished them i got offered a set of gold rs's not in the best of condition for 1k but i had fun assembling the rm's and means a bit more now. by the way bet the rs's looked amazing on a white v!! good taste Quote Link to post Share on other sites
