that looks great!!

is it just shadows, or is the spike of the top chevron hidden under the grille?

I must say the grill isn't my cup of tea at all.

Fair play for being different though mate, we all know how hard that is with saxo's nowadays.

:y:

Grill looks great fella! Nice work :)

Tar Anthony :)

Good thanks mate, hows mangy?
Need to drop you a text or catch up properly soon man!

Cheers Grant :y:

Looks better in the flesh as you can see the flakes popping but its still pretty stealth which is sort've the look i was going for.

Yeah man it sits a little bit underneath which im liking :D

Thanks dude.

Bit like marmite i guess...
Sick of having no grille altogether so thought id make this a bit different.

Thankyou buddy :A:
Need to have a looky at yours now.

Have fun on hols and holla when your back man!!! :y:

Well my progress thread has been updated with pics so have a browse fella :)

I'll give you a buzz when i'm back home fella! Did you get some walkie talkies for the convoy?

Just got back from the Renault World Series at Silverstone and im creamed so im gonna pop up the progress from yesterday...

Frodo front pads are on, hopefully you all know what a brake pads looks like so i wont bother with pics lol. Bedding them in slowly for use at Rockingham in a couple of weeks ;)

Out with the old in with the new...yesterday i ditched the shitty, broken and completely fooked rad.









No rad :fcuk:



Comparison of old vs new to show how shit the old radiator was...



New Alu Valeo radiator with 82 thermostat (helps to keep the engine run slightly cooler :))









State of the old scrap after me and Alex gave it the 'can i stand on it' test, dropped it a couple of times, stamped on it and dropped a hammer on it a few times lol...



Bled the whole system and re-filled it.
Takes 7 litres in total to top-up a VTS radiator!

Downsides....i need a new passengers driveshaft and the car is filthier that a slag's keg's but it gives me a chance to clean up the whole underside next weekend, re-seal and re-paint and mess around with the interior before FCS.

More next week and FCS prep progress :)

If anyone has a passenger's side VTS driveshaft up for grabs then lemme know ASAP please.

Cheers
Red :y:

You owe me a lot of beer now ;)

You have a spare rad and turned down a lift to Silverstone ;) :homme:

Just got myself a driveshaft btw so i'll bring a few beers over then and cook up a BBQ or summat :)

Well spotted matey lol.

Actually Alex 'the big poof' did :homme:

Pics of all 3 types of grille i've had on (or off :err:) over the last year...

Original grille...









Grille no. 2 - no grille...



Number 3 - custom grille...

Keeping that style and colour but smoothing out the chevrons for a cleaner and more subtle-ish look next i think...
