Post Black Furio White Vtr Rims (FLO)

right been on here for a while but think its about time i setup a progress thread as done a few mods now.

Bought an 03 plate Furio named FLO read the number plate lol off ebay managing to chip the lad down to £550
Needed bit of work doing though,
Bits It needed were:

Foglight
N/S Passengers front wing
N/S Passengers front Vt wheel arch
centre section for the exhaust
headlight trim
and the engine managment light was on

some pics of how it looked when i first got it sorry not many but didnt realise i'd be doing a progress thread lol










first i put the passengers wing on as the previous one was in primer and all dented up so got a wing off here courtesy of Charlie53 cheers bud and also fitted the vt arch bought from ebay

Before


After


also got rid of the engine managment light as it just a dodgy wire on the lamba sensor but thanks to the old man being a mobile mechanic he has all the diagnostic needed so plugged the lexia (citroen & peugeot) diagnostic in and cleared it within a few mins.

after getting rid of all the minor faults and and cosmetics i started to work on a bid of modding.


Started off with shortening the redicolous oversized aerial why there this big i dont know lol

Before


After


next done a suttle and simple mod of t-cutting the rear badges looks alot better IMO

Before


After


started on sound system in the car it came with a jvc cd player so bought myself ipod unit so now have full control of the iphone from the stereo or the remote.
next i bought a 12" 1200watt sub and amp, wired that up sounds great, have to lol though when i have to take the dog up the park for a run she has to sit next to it i have to turn it off lol,




next i was looking round for a better backbox to fill the bumper cut out better, so found myself a nice 3.5" Scorpion Imola backbox off ebay brand new for £70 bargain. that came and come to fit it and it wouldnt fit onto the standard furio centrepiece, so gave the company a call up and they said they would ring scorpion and find out whats wrong. after a call back they realised they had made a mistake and they offered me a full refund or they would supply a scorpion cat back system to fit the backbox for just the price of courier as a goodwill gesture i think you know which i chose lol
so a Scorpion catback full system with 3.5" backbox for only £85

Before


After


with the full system sounds very nice, not the loudest but nice sound have had it popping occasionally aswell lol will get a video up soon.


now finally about upto date

recently purchased some vtr alloys but rather than stick with the standard silver i fancied something a bit different, so took them to CityPowderCoating in birmingham and had them powdercoated Gloss White picked them up the other day and they do look mint

didnt have any photos before but you all know what standard vtr alloys look like

After




upto date now lol

today i went to fit them onto the car and the rear wheels didnt want to go on they just wouldn't go onto the hub the centre bit of the wheel was to big for the centre of the hubcap, however the front 2 front wheels went on fine no problems at all, so my dad got the grinder out and took a little bit away from the centre of the wheel it only needed about 1mm and then they fitted like a treat so no there on and look ace, i also found while the wheels were off that the previous owner has messed around with the torsion bar and left a bolt out not good been using it for 4 months now and had no idea lol also there has been a loud clunking noise when slow speed turning to the right, thought it would be the cv joint but it was actually the strut the owner before hadn't tightened the bolt up enough and was causing a loud clunk noise but now no noises and all running perfect

some pics of the wheels on the car not very good as taken off the phone

Before




After






and finally fitted the new mirror with the black mirror cap today courtesy of pug10sax cheers buddy just got to glue the other one on

smoked jewels come today so took 5 mins to fit them IMO they look nice on the car
took the old ones out and could of filled a mini fish bowl lol lots of water in them

Before


After




plans are:

Shorter Aerial DONE
T-Cut Badges DONE
Black Mirror Caps HALF DONE
Gloss White Powdercoated Wheels DONE
JVC Ipod Control DONE
Backbox DONE WITH FULL SYSTEM
Subwoofer & Amp DONE
6X9 Parcel Shelf Speakers
Red Calipers
meshed the grill with black Chevrons DONE

thats it really up to this point cant think of any other ideas at the moment so if anyone has any or has any comments please feel free thanks
