group1rs's black magic 2002 octy vrs

[group1rs]

????????????

Do you have Questions ?

[Dark_Hero]

Lots of them by the looks of it Pete

[group1rs]

Twelve by the looks of things !

[group1rs]

Now back to the build thread. I popped over to forum member OET's house and came away with some new door mirrors with blue glass and also a front grill surround. All in black magic and un damaged like the ones I have are. Just waiting on bumper to come back from the paint shop. I think they must be related to the powder coaters I use as they are just as slow !

Whats happening with slam panel? Got a new one yet? I was looking at mine today.. Its not looking good! Haha

[Dark_Hero]

Mine looks a state too. Group buy on slam panels?

[Volvomeg]

They look so much better painted

 

[group1rs]

Plans today were to get the octy back together. However Si (Beryl's chief pilot) and Justin turned up. So this is as far as I got before octy got put away in garage and out with the wine.

It's ok Lee I have a perfect crash bar. The above post is not because I've had an accident. Just took bits off to paint over the winter.

If i had funds i get a panel.....

And carbon dip it

[Adamweal]

Looks awesome pete

Lloyd you would have the hole car carbon dipped if you could! Haha

[Dark_Hero]

What colour is it Pete? Looks like it has a blue tint? May just be the camera, but looks great

[group1rs]

Haha Charlie it's a special Blue black magic...... Or all dusty and combination of new paint and greasy hands when refitting. Needs a polish

[Lloyd55vrs]

Lloyd you would have the hole car carbon dipped if you could! Haha

Sssh

[pdhealy]

Grrrrr £143 and that's only 6 months. Bloody robbing bar stewards !

Try €686 for 12 months road tax in Ireland. Pain in the wallet.

[group1rs]

It's been a long month and a half with the octy all naked in the Garage while I've been getting bits painted. But now she's back. Had a bit of a moment yesterday. I refitted intercooler and went for a quick drive down the road. No boost was in limp mode ! Probably due to me having car in and out of the garage without intercooler connected or maybe she didn't like being driven naked without a bumper and lights. Anyway once back together today all is good boooooost is back !

Finally big mouth mesh is black. Looks more stealthy. And thanks to Adam I've replaced air box service sticker. Now need stickers for front panel.

[Adamweal]

Looks good pete! Give me a text in the day tomorrow and i will find all the stickers you need at work like i said i would a little while ago and then forgot :( haha

[group1rs]

Thanks Adam

[SNH]

Soooo clean!

Good work

[Lloyd55vrs]

Sweeeet

[BossFox]

Looking good Pete.

 

I know you know this, but I so much prefer the more subtle big mouth in black on your car.

[group1rs]

Oh and a few have asked where the group1rs name originated from.

Well here she is.

Genuine group1 Rs 2000 complete with all group1 options inc long range fuel tank. 44 idf down draughts LSD. 200 ish BHP.

And yes I wish I still had her.

[Lloyd55vrs]
