Ollies Silver Flat Arch Progress - GTI Leathers - Airport express install - Airplay!

[OllieVigar]

I bought this car on the 22nd of November for £800, 12 months Mot 85k on the clock and in pretty min condition. Test drove it fine everything perfect, 25miles into our journey home and boom engine management light on. Yesterday i have found whats suppose the problem and a new alternator will be installed soon.

Under the bonnet the radiator is nakerd from a few years of abuse so my new one should be here on Saturday.
The bracket of which the drivers seat bolts into had dropped down resulting in a squeeky seat as the surround is cracked etc, the car is already booked in for the bracket to be re welded.

like most progress threads the progress will be slow due to funds etc but this is what i have planned for it so far.

Exteria:

VTR wide mouth bumper
Smoothed boot
Dimma grille
Smoke front/backlights
Alloys - VTR
Lowered 50mm all round
2.5" back box/full exhaust system
Delocked/smoothed boot plinth = Boot popper
HID lights/Angle eyes
Tow strap
Mirror Caps

Inertia:

GTI Half leathers seats
Door pillars vinyl warped black
Black abc pillars
Remote start
Eletric windows/central locking from another saxo such as desire

Sound:

Vibe slick door speakers
Door tweaters


Mods so far:

Fli 12" sub in the boot
Fli 900s Amp
Vibe slick door speakers and Tweeter
Smooth boot plinth
Volt gauge
Metallic black grill
T-Cut badge

Cheers man but your a bit far away and would like to keep the steels for emergency. Should be able to get a set local

[jayline]

No worries dude, check my thread as I have a flat arch which has had a fair bit done to it!

[OllieVigar]

Small update, just went and picked up my new radiator so will be fitting that within the next few days. Out with the old and in with the new!

[OllieVigar]

Small update, just bought a falcon boot popper for a total of £6.84 - Bargain!



For those who has a smooth boot plinth, whats the best way going about that? Take the lock chamber out and fill with filler, smooth and paint?

[jayline]

i think the best way to smooth it, is to get mesh and fibreglass sand it off and go from there? dont rely on that though as im no expert!

[OllieVigar]

of course i want a good colour match, do i get a EYCC spray can mixed or would normal silver do? I duno how people spray parts of their car like bumper strips and actually get a good match!
