Very very smart, like you have planned needs to come down abit, keep the wheels they suit it so well, or when the time comes to sell them please do contact me :)

very nice motor you have there

wow it is like mine but you bought it like thios i bought mine standard but when youve done what your planning then it will look alot like mine i recon you should keep your classics tho ! sell your 8's and get some 7's for the back then it will look the sex and wont need to faf about rolling the arches

i really like this car, red mk3's and ATS classics go so well, remember doug's? it was epic.

thats a very clean car mate. engine bay looks good. and yer dont sell the wheels looks really smart on them just drop it abit and would be even better

Haha, very much like yours :p .. Bought not Built haha, it'll change soon enough. More stickers but not OTT.

I'm probably going to keep the wheels and just roll the arches abit. First year driving so i don't want to get in trouble with the Police haha

Thought i'd add some of my own pictures lol

And tried HDR photoshop :\

Bloody hell that is looking clean, as I said at the start wow! I really do like this, red mk3 and classics is a winning combo!

this looks lovely, i couldn't deal with the lack of glovebox lid though.

my old coupe was L94

edit: forgot to mention how much i love the plate, i'd be so stoked if i got my new car and it said 'yay' at the end.

I'm actually looking for a glovebox lid, and hopefully getting one from Popdragin.

I love the plate too, everyone who sees it, comments on the plate haha

Thanks for the comments people :)

Shiny shiny

very nice, how easy was the central locking kit? got a link to the one you bought?

Cheer, It's a maplin 4-door kit that i adapted and then wired to my alarm.

The doors where easy, bit of modifying and my own custom mounts. The boot was alot harder and had to create a sliding bar that stopped the button being pushed in when locked

But i've got it working and its great, no problems. i should of done an FAQ, and may do one in the future if i ever take my door cards off again

is that a hole in your exhaust?

No it's a sticker mark lol

Don't know what make the exhaust is, but it's not orginal and had a stick on it, thats now burnt on to it. I cleaned it off now and can't see that anymore

Thanks for moving Admin/Mods

Update:

Started work on the Arch rolling and flaring today! No more poke (well abit but shh )

Up she goes

Original arch

It's Hammer time!

Half way

Good as we can get with a good old panel beating weight

Grind off the paint :(

Filler, and how we left it for the day, Managed to do both sides though.

Got a couple more skims of filler before my farJ is happy, But nearly there, hopefully tomorrow we'll be ready for paint

Ouch, you have balls doing that to such a nice clean car... thats exactly how i did mine though, you'll be near tucking the 8's no bother :-D

Haha cheers mate

The 8s still stick out slightly because i wanted to keep the rear mud flap so the top edge fades out rather than pulling the whole thing

My dads an Ex-Panel beater so i've left him to it and he knows what he's doing, just got to wait until this saturday for paint

Refilled side, still not right :(

First coat of paint

They still stick out but not half as much, thats what you get for running 8J wheels with an et0 lol

I'll do a proper written update soon..

Colour-coded door handle inserts

Will get pics of them on soon :)

I really do love this car, so clean!

Bought my classics off Anil, exact same setup as yours and also on a red mk3 but a 1.3 CL. Bought the wheels off Anil with 185/60/13 tyres but I have changed those now and they look alot better on 175/50/13.

Haven't rolled the arches yet, and got pulled by the fuzz. They called the traffic police out and they weren't bothered by the wheels protruding and let me go.

Seen your car at Anil's before you got it, very clean example!!

All the best with the rest of the mods!

Ahhh i see Anil mentioned someone had bought the other half of the set :) .. I agree it does look good on 175s.

The police around my area are a bit funny on it, and with it being my first year driving, i don't want any trouble :)

It's changed abit since Anil had it, few extra bits and a bit of a tidy up in some places

Thanks for the comment

Update:

Car painted, Polished, cut back and Polished again

(Can just see the Colour-coded door handle inserts)

Just need to clean the mudflap/arch cover up and put it back on :)

My dads going to a scrap yard thursday to hopefully get some Renault 5 mirrors .. The sunroof flake and some over bits will be sprayed before InCarNation 1000, so more updates soon
