Poppys progress thread & new addition to the family!

[girlracer1597]

This is the story of how it all began,
Right i passed my test in feb 05, my mom gave me her car to have as i was at college and couldn't afford to buy my own this is what i got-
http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj232/girlracer1597/girlracer1597_13206632.jpg

I named him mattie, and it got cleaned, polished vacumed etc twice a week lol well i was a student had nothing else better to do!

Then the time came to grow up after i finished the course and get a job. Which i did, i ended up working in the composite department of prodrive a little way from where i lived, the little 800cc engine in the matiz just couldnt cut it! So my dad went out and started to look for a new car for me, this is what he came up with

My baby Poppy!
Within a week of having her i'd got the alloys, fuel cap, and induction kit on!

[Mochachino]

Lovley bit of motor, a westcoast right?

Got any plans for it?

[Andy_K]

Very clean and shiny. Good to see a different style of alloy as well

[Adam_Q]

Very nice little westie. Whats the plans then? I would paint your petrol cap the same colour as your car too, would look lush!

Loving the matiz by the way ;)

[girlracer1597]

Ah well i like them thats all that matters!
Well as i said i did all this within a week! Its now sitting like a tractor, and didnt i get the piss ripped for it! So about 3 weeks later i packed her off for the morning to a new company that had started around the courner from where i worked pug 1 off. This is how she came back
http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj232/girlracer1597/justlowerednoplate.jpg

Will look forward to seeing them :y:

[girlracer1597]

thanks everyone for the comments so far i only started this tonight. Right then so i've paid some attention to the outside of the car it time for inside, i started with those silly yellow blobs ontop of the door pins, the passenger side came off no problem but the drivers side was a different story. It became a little competition between my work mates who could get it off! then i tackled that stupid yellow gear knob and replaced it with this
http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj232/girlracer1597/touring.jpg
and one of these for a more finished look

[girlracer1597]

yep got loads more to put into this theres a lot more done to the car just havent got round to taking pic's/ updating this thread, might go and do it now before i loose the light. thank you for all your comments so far

[girlracer1597]

Right so the last thing i was sorting was the interior of the car but i got a little distracted by this
http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj232/girlracer1597/Poppy/rangy.jpg
this one isnt ours (couldnt find any pic's for some strange reason) but its the same colour.
Project poppy was over for now while i ponced around in my new toy lol
So i loved my range rover (well my half anyway) and when i found out that some little bastards had keyed it from front to back i was a little upset to say the least. So with over 500 quids worth of damage it was put to rest and using the insurance money to fix the paint work. My attention was turned back to my 1st love the saxo, poor thing had been taken off the road and ignored for well over 5 months and bless her cotton socks she flew through her mot (pretty good for a saxo)
Right my interior
http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj232/girlracer1597/Poppy/richbrook2.jpg
so what to do with the rest of the interior? My answer was bin it!! and this is what i replaced it with

[girlracer1597]

So with the interior kind of how i wanted it, i decided to sort my badges out and i joined sax-p so i got stickered up! http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj232/girlracer1597/Poppy/lightsbadge.jpg

Right well poppy went into have its MOT today and i kind of knew what was coming. The cv boot had gone again, now its not that much of a drama but it is if you cant get the wheels off!!!! The garage refused to help me so i had to go elsewhere so i went to ltc on the stourbridge road got all 4 of my lock nuts off without to much damage to my wheels then back to the testing centre should get it back my noon tomorrow.

[gaz4399]

[Payney]

Sorry to hear about the bump, more inconvenience than anything.. Easy fix and hope it's back on the road soon!
Very nice car actually, like the rims... But do prefer the new rims on the photoshop if you get them!

Where did you get the toolbox from?

[collinsd70]

Got the toolbox from the autosport show, all together cost about £450 you get good deals for cash on the last day ;) as for the acident i dont know what going to happen now, we were going to try and keep it out of the insurance but i dont think i've got a choice now. well the wheels were kind of in the pipeline but now with this acident i might have to rethink them.

[Mochachino]

write off tbh

[girlracer1597]

how is that a wirte off?

[saxowebby]

crashed in merry hill, i was there that day, what car park u crash in

Ah right. Thanks.

As for the crash... Tbh you'll lose more in a way for such a cheap fix... It's hardly alot... I know it sounds odd... But you will have a claim on your name then plus you will wait months and months for insurance money to come through.... With the wheels, keep what you have then till you can get the others imo.

[girlracer1597]

Yeah i no what your saying, i wasnt driving though and it wasnt our fault so it feels wrong that i have to pay to get it fixed! I'll no more tomorrow when i speak to the other party.

[tsd_wee_balls]

sorrry to c the bump chum

well hope u get the wee car sorted its a nice motor

[Andy_K]

I'd just nip rpund a few bodyshops and ask for a quick quote on how much it would be to fix the car. Then ask the other party if they will give you the cash. They may wish to keep the insurance out of it, and so may agree. If not, its coming off their insurance anyway by the sounds of it so it will not affect you. It may take a while for their insurance to pay out though as they tend to drag these things out

[girlracer1597]

Spoke to my insurance company today and I was so impressed with them, they gave me loads of options and discused them all with me so im really happy, bodyshop is going to ring me tomorrow to arange pick up of my car and drop the courtesy car off Happy days!

yeah thats what we decided to do but we felt we couldnt trust them.

[Andy_K]

yeah thats what we decided to do but we felt we couldnt trust them.

Fair do's. Sounds like you have it sorted now though which is good news. Hope it comes back perfect :y:

[girlracer1597]

Little update, everything isnt going to well the other party has told their insurance company a very different story to what happened! so its going to take a little longer to sort things out, my legal cover is kicking in and taking over and getting the police involved so i can get the cctv as the car park in covered in camera's so im not to worried its just going to take longer than it should, in the mean time i have a nearly new corsa sxi, which im not to keen on tbh, but cant complain it a car!

[Mint-VTR]

lucky its not too hard to fix :)

[girlracer1597]

I've just had my insurance company contact me, the other party has changed their story and still not admitting that it was there fault they have suddenly found two wittnesses to support thier side of the story that it was our fault. The CCTV doesnt pick up the accident as it was in a blind spot. My legal company are still saying that the damage to my car doesnt fit with his story and have had to employ an independant engineer to also look at my car as the insurance companies cant agree. I am so angry and upset.

[laura_g]

what dickheads grrr it makes me so angry people like this, hope all works out well for you in the end

[AshC]

Wheres the damage on there car mate?

[girlracer1597]

Wheres the damage on there car mate?

Directly on the nose of car (sorry wierd way of discribing it) just under the headlight near the grill not much damage tbh. So how they can say i hit him i've got no idea the damage to mine and his doent match that story.

[bamp]

i love yur fuel cap.. where did you get it? i dont care what anyboday says. your wheels and your fuel cap make your saxo look the dogs! :D really nice saxo!

[girlracer1597]

Ahh bless :hug: thanks. It was from halfords just a quick fix that stuck tbh

[Richy25988]

Progress is going well, where did you get your door badges from, i cant find them anywhere!

[girlracer1597]

Progress is going well, where did you get your door badges from, i cant find them anywhere!

I got the ages ago but you if you search for door badges in the parts for sale bit it will come up with where you can get them from.

[Ben]

Hope you get everythin sorted with the insurance and that :y:

[girlracer1597]

Hope you get everythin sorted with the insurance and that :y:

thank you but its not looking good tbh it makes me sick to think they will get away with it. I havent seen my baby for over a month now :( :(

[Sneakydevil89]

tough luck about the car even if it was a month ago. hope everything comes through for you.

[girlracer1597]

I am so pissed off with the way everything is being handled by my insurance company they have not got a clue about anything :wall::wall::wall::wall:
thank god that i have legal cover on my policy at least they know a little bit lol to who ever reads this please please please pay the extra for the legal cover on your insurance this accident was only a silly car park crash and its totaly blown up they are the only people interested in fighting my corner.
Rant over :wall::wall::wall:
While my poor baby has been sat in some accident repair place for well over a month now i've been thinking about future plans for her, so far i've come up with
1. smoothing the bump strips and spraying them gloss black
2. refubing my alloys and spray them black also
3. finally getting my mirror caps and spoiler sprayed and fitted
4. colour code some dash parts
5. take care of some dent/scratchs general tidy up of the paint work
6. new headunit (in getting for my b'day) re fit sub
7. as im refitting sub, take out interior and clean all carpets and seats
8. also a major service inc cambelt
9. source a set of matching seatbelts

Has anyone got any other idea or suggestions? input and opinions are greatly recieved.

[Recovery]

plans sound good! you have been waiting ages for it, would frustrate the hell out of me!

[girlracer1597]

plans sound good! you have been waiting ages for it, would frustrate the hell out of me!

Nothing has been done either i think that why im so pissed off i last saw poppy the friday before the bank holiday i hate the car they have given is costing a small fourtune to run it god knows how a 1.2 corsa can drink so much petrol!

[girlracer1597]

said crappy corsa

[girlracer1597]

Had a call from my insurance company today and finally a bit of good news all the engineers agree that the damage is repairable (i no its sounds silly but there was talk of it been writen off) the other partys witnesses against us have either not replied to my legal company or didnt see anything. So im happy with that hopefully the damage to my car now will show the true nature of the acident and i will get her back soon!

[girlracer1597]

Im getting her back very soon! As the party havent admited liabilty thy cant fix it just yet so to make it "road legal" i was going to have to pay £171.25! i Wasnt going to pay that just for an indicator and headlight So im getting it back and im going to do the work myself! Only for it to go back at a later date and be fixed properly.
Insurance claims are hard work!

[girlracer1597]

OMG Just had the best news for ages just had a phone call from my insurance company and they have informed me that the other partys insurance company have admited liabilty!!!!!!!!:P:P:P:P:P:P
Im so happy, after all the false stories and fake witnesses everything has come right. Its taken a long time but big :hug: to my legal company. next call i get should be the one that she is coming home!!!!!

[Andy_K]

Congrets - bet you're well chuffed. Glad its all worked out for you

[girlracer1597]

Congrets - bet you're well chuffed. Glad its all worked out for you

Thanks i've been bouncing around all happy today!

[girlracer1597]

Still getting some shit to do with this hopefully should be sorted by the end of the day, little update, the company who is repairing my car has it all striped down ready to repair and they found a hole in my radiator but they cant put it down to the accident because its the oposite side to the damage :( got to pay £100 for a new one is this a good price to pay? I believe they are using genuine citroen parts.

[girlracer1597]

My baby came back finally! She was away for 2 months 3 weeks and 1 day!
So i thought i would take some photo's while she was clean!

Thanks, i dont think i can make it now me and my fiance have had a crap time of it the last few days so i think we're going to stay at home.

[dannyboycov1991]

just to really piss um off, claim for whiplash. car looks nice btw good work

[girlracer1597]

All over with now, hasnt effected my insurance much as i've just had the renewal come and its dropped about £100 so im still happy.

[girlracer1597]

Right well I'm going through a bit of a rough patch so i thought i would take my mind off things by spending time on my car, first thing i gave her a much needed bath!
I think she looks amazing for a 10 year old car and after a few more job's doing on the body work I'm hoping to get the paint work like new.

Sorry about the crappy photo's only got my phone to hand and i was far to grubby to go back into the house to get my camera lol

After all that i got a little bored and i set to spraying my mirror caps and spoiler which I've had gathering dust for years!

11044
11045

Again sorry about picture quality!
Should have these on the car Sunday morning before the Grand Prix!
If i get them on early enough will the car be ok to drive on Monday morning if using Tiger Seal?

[Ashleyp]

the paint work's gleaming

although it couldnt look more chavvy on those wheels and being that low

[squeak]

nice car i like your alloys! do your side skirts catch on the floor when u go round corners with like 2-3 ppl in the car

[Andy_K]

Paintwork looks mint - deffinately the best colour in my unbiased opinion ;)

If you stick the mirror caps and spoiler on with Tigerseal and then use some take to strap them down tightly in place, the adheisive should go off before tommorrow morning.

Its not that low lol, I no its down 60mm which in some peoples eyes is a bit extreme, but no nothing catches at all even 5 up over speed bumps!!!
The comments about the paint work are really nice thank you, I spent about 5 hours cleaning her that day.
Im also choosing to ignore the chav comment lol I don't think its that bad.

looks realy clean, shame youve had some insurance issues, glad its all got sorted, i think you should de wiper the rear, and spray your alloys in either anthracite or black.

Poppy in the next few weeks is coming off the road for a while, I'm looking for a megane coupe to replace her as my daily drive.
Plans
vt rear beam
raise the car to 35/40mm
new suspension
bigger brakes
VTS engine (prob the last thing i do)
sort out any rust
new bonnet and boot (my are scratched and dented badly)
general tidy up of all paint work, maybe a respray in same colour.

All this is going to time especially for a poor student but at least I'll not be paying a garage for labour as I'm going to do all the work myself.

I'm not going for a particular look of car but if you guys have any suggestions/idea's then please tell me :y:

I'm not going to do much with her just a few little bits and bobs and maybe a panel filter.
I'll put some better pics up when I get her, was thinking of calling her Meggy.
