Sort of man but it depends on how everything has been done and the colour scheme also has a huge part in the finish tbh...

Take the Polo that was in FastCar mag 2 months back iirc...
Red leather interior with cage, ICE and other mods but it still looked good
and pretty tasteful. Fair play to him i reckon...

I've spent too much time thinking about this in the last 2 weeks that the gf is starting to get neglected slightly :P

I see your point matey but trust me this WILL look good Karl ;)

Thanks for the comment

Sure,
well I mean, its not my car, was just wondering how you were thinking :P

Nice. I've wanted a grey vts for years!
Get some black mesh where those fogs were :P

Haha lol yeah i wasnt sure at first but i have made a completely custom
setup that is uber-lightweight and sounds great still when you want to spank
out some tunes and that plus it all looks good together especially at night and keeps me sane as there is nout else in my car ATM :P

Read the Update i posted yesterday again dude as i covered that...
Will be meshed very soon along with some other bodywork ;)

Maybe selling next year after a few more plans that have been put
in place are taken care of...

First refusals? :P

Cheers for the comment dude :)

Update time...

Nice package arrived today from a certain company which will sort some of my suspension prep out for Rockingham Speedway

Engine bay has seen a little clean-up and a few bits and pieces sprayed and tidied up there...

Most of the interior has also been finished aswell so i'll post those pics up later when i get a moment before the Guildford meet :)

Managed to drive her with no seats in at all last night...only round the car park and then back in but biggest slag on here? :P

Little update...

After yesterdays work i was pretty knackered plus i then went to the Central South Guildford meet to catch up with everyone and see a few old faces so didnt manage to get pics up of the progress made...

Here are a few from yesterday :y:

Little package arrives...wonder what it could be :err:


Hmm...


Very nice little item...sexy red colour too :P!



Fitted very soon when my new X-sport racing gear linkages arrive...fingers crossed tommorow morning so i can crack on with getting everything sorted early and pop down to my local garage to discuss a few plans for the exhaust system ;)

Also managed to remove and re-spray the old centre cover and fit the new Citroen Badge i've had lying around for over a week!!!

Out with the old...




In with the new...







The old rocker covers need a clean and polish which will happen tommorow
hopefully after the above gets sorted (again hopefully a few goodies will arrive) :D

Few more bits to come...

Cont...

Whilst some other bits were being sanded and polished i managed to clean two up with a corse sanding block first of all before moving onto some wet + dry paper which started at rougher grit moving down to very fine finishing grit...



Very happy with how well these came up :)



Not sure if i will need the pretensioner holders above now as when i fitted my harnesses the pretensioner unit was
unplugged...I have checked for warning lights and a few hundred miles on i still havnt had any problems at all with
anything or even a warning light/dash that looks like a christmas tree :P and the car passed an MOT a few weeks back
with flying colours so we will see if they will be needed or not...:ponder:

More progress to come tommorow and maybe a few cheeky pictures of her and
another well known saxo lapping up some Sun + Sea ;)

Nice update fella :)

Gotta get my rocker covers all polised as they're in a right state atm :(

I can polish them down with mine and then give them a blast with the UDM aswell when i do mine of you like man?

Let me know about tommorow but you might have to make it afternoon...

Yeah that would be cool! I'm on my last night this week so will need to get some sleep tomorrow morning, be up for around 2ish though. So if you want, we can shoot down to brighton then?

But my car is a right dirty bitch atm, haven't had the time to clean her :( and i'm out in the evening.... so if its easier for you, do you wanna meet up on sunday?

Mine's starting to get like that at the moment too after driving her to Guildford (dirtiest she's been in a while :oops:) and today :sad:

Sunday most probably will be better 'cuz of work on the car tommorow/sleep and Hannah etc

Weather better be good Sun as i think i found a few perfect spots today ;)

Cool cool! Sounds like a plan! Gives me a chance to clean the dirty biatch lol!

Let me know tommorow man as i think the weather may turn at the weekend but im sure Sun will be fine because i've got so much to get on with already tommorow...talk about digging a hole man lol

hehe! Well keep an eye on the weather, should be alright though :)

Last little update for today (even though its early and technically tommorow/4th i know :P)...

The sub and amp have been stripped from the rear of my car now aswell and im just running Alpine front components with an Alpine amp which tbqfh sound the absolute dog's danglies as they are and kick out a fair bit of punch so once the car is fully re-sprayed...which should be monday ;)....I can trial fit the sub and extra amp back in and see if i want to wire them back in or just leave them out...We will see :ponder:

Oooooo so what you doing with "my old sub"? The misses might be interested in that :fcuk:

What components have you got? Need to get myself some asap!

In the above post dude ;)
Noob lol...

Alpines running from a seperate Alpine amp and they sound the danglies tbh :)

Not sure about subbage at the momento...will have to see on the drive down sun methinks :err:

After a chat with a few certain members...

I think 'Ellie' is due her first trip to the Ring and should be going in Jul along with a few others ;)

Needing a co-pilot for this trip aswell to split petrol/ferry/accomodation costs but this will be one of the best trips you can go on tbh and i cant wait :A:

I'll post the details up when all is confirmed :)

A trip to the ring..... I might have to invite myself to this one, bring my motor down :)

Feel free mate :)

Its over the weekend from 11th-14th Jul and will be one of the best experiences of your life :y:

Threads about a co-pilot now up ;)

That red carpet rocked my world! Love the motor mate, keep the carpet though! :P

Thankyou dude :A:

Carpet is gone now tho! All i have left is matts for show lol :panic:
Its stored away for later use if needed...

Co-Pilot has been provisionally found as of last night and the trip will be booked and confirmed this week :afro: :D

A nice little package arrived this morning as well so i'll post up pics and more progress later ;)

Sorry to Hi-Jack mate.

Does Reevesy do this with the Certificate for Cat 1, and what sort of price did he do it for, and would he do it again?
Mine needs a Cat 1 Fitted pretty much as soon as its done, and i'm Torn between a Clifford at more money, and a Toad AI606..


Car looks awesome mate too, Really good example, there's not many like this.
Will look even better when she's back from the bodyshop!

Bastard.
Jokes man :P

Yeah Reevesy gives certificates with all of his Cat 1 alarm packages but it didnt affect my insurance at all lol :homme:

Fitted it and gave me a v.good deal but i still need to go see him again and get the remote start fitted soon...

He does it for a living but is a busy dude so PM him or text him and he'll sort you out mate :)

Clifford's are very very good and i love mine but for the money id opt for a Toad as they offer the same options but a lot cheaper. Paying for the make and that imo!

Talk to Reevesy and he will sort you out :y:

Cheers for the comments buddy. Im really starting to like the way shes coming together now!

Think i may have just got myself some new seats and a de-cat :afro:

fooooookk me you did strip it red,

how come youve stripped it?

Red why why why did you get rid of the angels, they make it look so much.... newer lol!

Seriously though, would look tones better with them in it. Not say it doesn't look sexual as it is ;)

Will get on it now mate.
Where's he based?
Local to you? Local to me? lol Closer the better :P lol
Cheers :)

Bored of the carpet i think fella and the interior shell needed a re-spray so went for it and thought if your going to do it...may aswell go the whole way :P

Still got them buddy ;)

Not tonight but he should be able to sort you out pretty soon matey.

Lives in South Ockingham about 60m from me so a few hours from you...

PM him or post in the security/ICE section and he'll get back to ya :)

Just picked up a sexy new Stainless Powerflow De-cat ;)

Pics up soon before/after iv cleaned it up to a sparkle.
Going to end up with two dead arms at this rate of going round polishing everything :P

o right got ya

i couldnt agree more tbh mate

Wasnt easy to keep getting rid of stuff...but it became like an addiction to turn my car into an almost annorexic shed lol :homme:

Car still smells a little bit like a homebase/B&Q now but im really happy with the respray :afro:

Think i might give the interior a quick blast with the UDM to make the flake pop a little bit more!

Shiny shiny :P

so is it staying fully stripped then red??

For the moment yes mate until my special new item comes to fill the space ;)

Pretty big clue there lol :P

Quick update...

Remote start will be fitted on May 11th! Woop woop :afro:

GTI leather is also going very shortly to replaced by another set of new seats.
Let me know if you have buckets up for sale at the moment please :y:

Red :)

Just found this lovely pic randomly...



Snow in april and my car is really dirty!? What a joke tbh lol :D

Anyways a quick update on what's progress has actually been made and whats been done in the last few days...

The interior has now been fully stripped and resprayed in gunmetal to match the outside
I think the whole stripped look has really grown on me and im loving how its looking at the moment minus my rollcage...

Pics of the interior as it is now up tommorow or thurs when i get a chance to polish the inside up a bit more and get some good pictures of the metallic flake popping :afro:

Few items i've received and polished up...

Grubby decat...





Shiny shiny...i swear im like a magpie when it comes to a bit of bling lol!





You can also see the almost finished tow eye in the above pics aswell...



X-Sport racing linkages and OMP to be fitted tommorow along with the de-cat and some more heatwrap to almost finish off the exhaust system!




Cant wait for the de-cat to go on along with the lower strut brace :D

New buckets have also been found and are awaiting collection along with my new rear bumper ;)

Bodywork should be finished in time for FCS im hoping now as i have a few niggles with my paintwork at the moment.

21st April Monday Update

De-cat'd
OMP fitted
X-Sport's on

Pics of everything for ya...

Shitty old Shitroen linkages gone (caused my Crimbo Eve breakdown :wall:)



OMP, OMP, OMP :P






Lovely de-cat :afro:



Really liking that last pic!

The X-Sport racing linkages were cheaper than standard replacement Citroen items and really do feel so much more solid and firmer.
Every shift has been reduced by around 25-30% over standard id say and that is before the Griffith's and Compbrake quickshift items have been fitted from KamRacing!!!

OMP lower brace has reduced torque steer and combined with the Sparco upper brace, have really stiffened up the whole feel of the car especially through cornering but i have noticed the difference in just normal driving.

The de-cat has made the whole system a little bit louder...ok a LOT louder but it pop's, bangs and rasps a lot which sounds like absolute pure sex :P

I also bagged myself a new rear bumper on Sat from Mj1 - Mike (thanks buddy your a ledgend!) so my new Piper backbox can fit flush after the bumper has been sprayed up and colour coded.

If anyone has a green forged or Procomp induction kit they want to sell me i will buy them drinks all night at FCS ;)

Still to do...

* Heatwrap from the manifold all the way to the backbox with some spare wrap i have lying around

* Remove heat-shielding from around the system

* Fit new bumper, backbox and induction kit
- Will make the system quieter but improve the sound and also smoothness of the engine thorugh idle and acceleration slightly because the current induction kit is a bit pants plus it looks like the backbox i have is the channel tunnel just strapped to the back of my car tbh lol!

* Clean up the whole underside of the car and lay a few fresh coats of hammerite down :cool:

Spare FCS ticket and spare for a co-pilot to FCS up for grabs along with space in the room i have booked at Wellingbrough Main Sax-P hotel

Not long until FCS and she should be fully track ready plus a few extras i have planned ;)

looks good dude! Having trouble sourcing a helmet but got a couple of people i haven't asked...

Ordering mine in the next few weeks.

Been looking at 2 Sparco helmets or an Arai on...
www.merlinmotorsport.com :err:

The old girl also hit 100k on Saturday :fcuk: :panic:

Still runs better than ever tho :cool:
