My first car - 1.1 Poseidon blue :)

[Olliew]

Okay so got my first car at 18 (Rode a bike for a year ) Love it to bits. Looking to just do little subtle mods to it, no body kits, Lexus lights or Halfords dragon vinyls :L Only chavvy thing really is some 6x9's, but i like how they sound with my sub, so keeping them, but hiding them away under a stealth shelf soon, so the ugly fuckers dont offend anyone on here lol.

Looking to do:
Smoked rear jewels
Lower
Some VTR wheels
New interior (got that awful multi coloured Forte interior )
Some interior painting (Just spruce it up)

Pictures how I got her :






Hope to put some more up soon of little stuff i've done.

[Olliew]

Oh and only mods so far as well as ICE are new number plates as old ones were so wrecked they wouldn't pass MOT, and a Jelly Belly airfreshner xD

[Olliew]

Okay so a little update..

Chevrons and slats satin black



De-wipered



Dash surround Posi blue



New gear knob



ICE stuff (stealth shelf soon before i get killed haha :L)



Re-trimmed door cards and sprayed bit Posi blue (the carpet feels orgasmic)





Let me know what ya think, slow but steady progress but start my job soon so hopefully more full on mods when the money starts coming in

[charischambers]

i like the inside mate did you spray it all yourself?

[AdamSaxo]

very nice, how did you do your doorcards?

[minimanspk]

liking the doorcards mate where they a bitch to do

[Olliew]

Yeah sprayed it all myself, to be fair to Halfrauds their paint match is pretty good, and good quality

Adam - Theres a link http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=372467

And yeah they were a bit of a bitch coz the carpet i used was pretty thick, hence the black trim clips to hold the handle surround on haha :L

[Olliew]

Orite haven't done much in a while. Got some wheels, yey! The optional Furio wheels picked em up for £50 2 tyres never been on the road so was pretty happy! Refurbing em black. Pictures of before and after. And some pics of a disaster to do with my front end lol .

[Olliew]

My bad 3rd picture should be this

[Olliew]

My grille disaster basicaly when i got the car the front grilles clips were on their last legs, and on my way to pick up the wheels saw something fly over my windscreen lol, got home to find this



Luckily couple of days and £15.10 later eBay sorted me out

[Jyxo]

My old wheels, look good in black

[Olliew]

Cheers pal! Look nicer in person as well tbh

[Packham]

You should go and find the front off the old grill and have a go a meshing it

[Olliew]

Haha! I would mate sept I looked in my rear view mirror and saw the sorry fate of the old grille, hit the floor and went into what looked like a good 6 different pieces haha :L

Keep up the good work

haha maybe not then. mine flew off on a bypass once, then I risked my life to get it back, only needed a bit of touching up

[Olliew]

Yeah mines already flew off once! and my lil bro got out and dodged the traffic to get it back lol, but the second time i thought time to get a new one anyway, and apparantly they're £87 from Citreon so thought £15.10 is reasonable haha

[Olliew]

And Packham just looked at your desire progress blog, how easy were your front lights to paint the non reflective bits black? and hair dryer or oven to get them open? ive heard mixed reviews and im scared with the oven as ive heard about people with melted lights lol

[Packham]

They were easy peasy, left them in the oven on gas mk 2 for ten mins, then prised them apart with a srew driver, they would probably melt if you put them in on like gas mk 7 lol
