Minty Fresh

Featured Replies

Hi everyone. I'm chris and i thought it was about time i put my 6n on here.

This is how it started out, brought it back in January. Its a 1.6 GLX. which means it has all the extras like, electred heated mirrors. front fogs. power steering. ABS. sunroof. and aircon. It also comes with 16v bumpers and the 16v interior. It was fitted with supersport coilovers and 6n2 rear lights which were the only modifications when i purchased it.

It wasnt running great when i first got it, so as soon as i got it back it had a full service. Put the obligiatry Momo 280 on aswell. i also decided to get some HEKO wind deflectors.

I then tinted the headlights and indicators at the front and i think it looks alot better.

I've been on the Hunt for a set of Renault Alpine turbines for it since i brought it and a set finally came up for sale about a month ago so i snapped them up. I was orignally going to paint them black but after a little persuasion from a mate of mine i went for a bronze instead.

so once they were done i ordered the tyres from mytyres.com. I went for 165/45R15s for the fronts and 185/45R15s for the rears.

and after a few little tweaks this is how it turned out. i hope you like it.

i apologise for the mass of pictures.

Future plans include:

6n2 GTI front splitter.

A touch of camber on the rear so i can get it down a bit.

Chassis notch on the front so i can take the helpers out and drop it alot more.

And mabye a little bit of smoothing here and there just to tidy it up abit.

Cheers for looking.

Chris

Do you not have caps for the rear? Looks a little odd with them not matching the fronts. Otherwise.... wicked job :-)

Nice wheels :D

wheels look awsome whats the specs :p

cheers for the comments.

wheel specs are 15x6 et42 on the front. Rears are 15x8.5 et20.

I've got 20mm spacers on the front to bring them out abit though as they were way to tucked without them
