does that make sense? lol.

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

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

AlexR 31st March 2008 22:46

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

RedB 3rd April 2008 23:33

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...

RedB 3rd April 2008 23:42

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 ;)

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

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 :)
