Twist's Ice Grey Furio (LavaGrey VTS Alloys) - Saxperience

twist · 1st November 2010, 23:13

ok so as you can see from the photo below the 1st furio came to a rather abrupt finish.

Therefor i am starting this new thread for the new car. A 51 plate, Icelandic Grey Furio with 75K on the clock that i picked up for £1300. I'll upload pics this weekend after i've given her a good clean as it rainded before i had chance last weekend. Progress will probably be slow and steady with this one as i'm going to be saving a lot of money for next years insurance when it goes through the roof!

i can't seem to get the picture to work atm. will do my best to sort it out tomorrow

ok sooo very long over due i got some pictures of the car. since i bought it i've painted the roof gloss black, along with the mirrors and added colour coded caps. i also got my self a free set of team dynamics pro race alloys and a vts interior from a write off at work. hope you all like the pics.

i no its got quite a few dents here and there but i'll repair them over time. its also got to go into the garage some time this week due to the fact that after i washed it and took the photo's it wouldnt start again, after consulting the AA man that came out its either a break in the loom or a fault on the ECU

cheers mate, plans are to gloss black the bump strips round the car, wide mouth bumper with black mesh and black mesh the bonnet grill. can't decide weather to colour code the grill or do that in gloss as well

thanks mate, yea those alloys came free as i said in the thread, thinking about filling in the words with white paint so they stand out more, we'll see how things go

the car finaly went off to the garage today to get fixed, they think its the relay under the ecu as it was hanging by the wires and was all corroded inside due to a small hole, new relay doesnt turn up until friday though. missing being able to drive rather a lot

twist · 27th January 2011, 23:16
