Lol, i jumped on this one the second i seen it come up! Was cheaper than some i've seen and in better condition too :)

CHIP 18th April 2010 23:05

Right then folks... I want your opinion's. Should i -

a) Get the R wheels powdercoated ready for the winter...
or
b) Buy some 283mm GTI6 brakes and some 15s for winter wheels?

Baring in mind to get wheels powdercoated it's £30 a wheel. If i go for 283mm brakes i need to buy them, new discs, new wheels, have them powdercoated... and i probably won't see track time anyway lol.

266mm is all you need in a VTR imo.

Get the wheels powdercoated.

CHIP 19th April 2010 11:26

Tbh, that's what i thought too dude. My brake's feel adequate enough! :y:

beaver28 19th April 2010 16:39

just upgrade the standared setup wen needs be and get the wheels powdercoated mate :y:

use the money you will save on somthing else :)

Tbh, that's what i'm starting to think. I've spent far too much on the Saxo recently and had no money for thing's like clothes etc.
If i'm putting the R rims back on though, they definetely need powdercoating. They're looking rather worse for wear now.

beaver28 19th April 2010 18:03

if your only using the r rims in the winter then you can wait till later in the year before getting them done :y:

just enjoy the car for a while. it looks sweet on the wolfraces btw :y:

Flatarch 19th April 2010 18:07

Love this car! Very clean :y:

CHIP 20th April 2010 17:43

Some new things... including an axle, but i have no pics of that lol.





Drying Towel
Various Aplicator's
Meguiar's Quik Clay Kit
Poorboy's SSR
Chemical Guy's All In One Polish (also known as Gay ;))
Chemical Guy's Wet Mirror Sealent
Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite

And a nice bag for it all to go in :D

I do dude, yes. But still unsure i'll have the money by then :(

But i'll know better in a few week :)

Just used the drying towel - epic... I love it :D

CHIP 23rd April 2010 22:59

So then...

James suggested the kit above to me and today i decided at the last minute to have the day off and get to work with it all.

Clayed it and omg! Haha. Get's so much dirt off the car even after washing it! And some red stuff came off the front bumper... fook knows what that was :S

After it had all been done the car's now soooo smooth and has an all together brand new look to the paintwork. Picture's really don't do it justice. I'm over the moon :D

But bare in mind i've done it all by hand so a lot of swirls are still there :( for now ;)
