Get hold of some coupe s ones if they decent condition.... Cost nothing really and they break coupe's all the time. I have a coupe s and the doorcards are grey but plain and would be easy to dye.

Just see how cheap you could do it.....£2.95 for dye and then just the price of door cards. Sure they would come up good. If not bin em as it is cheap as chips!! :-)

Also hot rit dye can be used to die plastic parts of the car too.

Just an idea for you....:-)

Forgot to take any photos before I removed the rear arches.... just imagine them as being nearly white!

All the arches are solid, but the p/s rear is a bit bubbly.

Minus the arches:

Not 100% sure atm!

I'm gonna sort the bubbling first, and if it doesnt look too bad they may well stay off.

Nabbed from my other thread... thought I'd add it here to keep the story going :)

Picked up some golf driver steels this afternoon. Tyres are good, they fit and now i can take the standard steels out to 13x7 :D

They look a bit ATS cup-ish from a distance!

And I got my amp fitted, need to get some more 17amp wire to finish wiring it in.

I like the mounting area-is that behind the rear passenger door card? must have been a bitch to screw up!

Yep it is. It was a bitch but I've got some MDF blocks in between now so I've screwed into them from the inside if you get what I mean.

Quick update: I'll be taking the tyres off my coupe-s steels this weekend and then they'll be going off to be banded (6.5" front and 7.5" rear with 165/60s and 175/60s I think). I don't really have the time to band them myself at the moment unfortunately.

Adam

Where are you getting them banded and how much a wheel?

Looks damn good with and without the arches.... I dunno either!!

But....... why have you 2 grilles in the pics?

  • Author

If you mean in some pics I have a single light grille and in some i have a twin... it's because guz gave me a coupe S grille when i got the other coupe S bits and i wasnt sure if i like it or not.
