Look spot on mate!

I've bought some OEM wheels too - just waiting for them to arrive!

Going Repsol orange for mine I think - should look good against the black

I know someone that does sandblasting - would that be suitable prep for cleaning them before spraying?

Yeah it's a bit battered in all honesty but will get around to it eventually as the 215 tyre profile is too big for it to go in the boot so want to sell it! Did you find that they (the spiders I got from you) scraped on the arch lining when turning at slow speed when you had them?!? I know nothing about tyre sizes but am starting to think the 215 profile is not the right size :think:

Well when you consider £200+ for a refurb, £50 and a not a perfect job does sound appealing.... the white bit looks like a thumb/finger print?!

Mine never once scraped dude! I was nowhere near as low as you mind haha!! Yeah it might be a thumb print, i literally brought them inside and took a picture so was probably condensation!

Top work Dan - glad my inspiration helped.

I'm in the same boat as you hence why i refurbed all my own wheels.

Too tight to open my wallet but i have spare time to burn

I also am not looking for perfect so would rather spend £50 doing them myself than 4 times that getting someone professional to do them.

Especially when you then whack them into a kerb and ruin them anyways!

Speaking of which I really need to start the work on making Mrs Pasty's wheels sparkly purple! lol

Yeap your right Cliff! Also feel alot better in yourself for doing them. Abit of an achievement!

Sparkly purple? I like! Pictures will have to be uploaded!

Look spot on mate!

That will look very good against the black mate!

Umm to be honest mate i dont have a clue lol. Have a go at sanding them The type R wheels are a pain inbetween some of the spokes. I cut down a bolt and slid the paper in. Wrapped it around and whacked it in a battery drill. Worked perfect for getting in the small gaps!

Bought a 6 Disc CD Changer off a forum member for £30 including the cable and fitted it today. Unsure where its originially meant to be fitted? Boot, under passenger seat or somewhere else, i have no idea lol.

Random pics

Going to have to do some research on where its meant to be fitted. I got a feeling its the boot, as the cable supplied is loooooooong.

Do you have any pics of the backend with the exhaust fitted mate? Im going to look at one of these tomorrow!

Yeah he we go mate

It looks like the standard exhaust which i like, makes a great sound quite a few tuners have been very impressed with the noise and how well made the system is. Im one of a few who only run the piper as many choose the japan big can look.

and yes its filthy lol

Looking good Dan, very nice car & the work you've done to it. I shall have to pop over to see you sometime & have a look. And take me for a spin ;-)

Cheers George! Yeah me you and lee will have to meet up again!! Pints on me this time! 3 days to go for the charger!!

Sounds good Dan, I'm up for another meet up. I bet the 3 days can't come fast enough

Cheers mate, looks good! Im looking at a Piper too - the one I was going to look is the same as yours but that deal isnt happening now. Im looking at another Piper one though which is the 6x4" oval, I quite like it

Is it getting mapped in 3 days as well?

Sounds good man! The piper systems are a very good fit!! Plus they are very well made and are 2.5 inch which is good and free flowing apparently! The supercharger is being fitted on Wednesday then Thursday is dyno day for the tuning of the map :p

Fitted the cd changer in place today.

Whacked in 4 self tappers for the back to fix, then 2 M6 bolts to secure the top.

I think its in the right place, looks alright to me lol

Updates please

Left it with TDI at 2 pm they had pretty much gutted the front end lol. Paul took me out for a spin in their cammed FN2 type r . 270bhp naturally aspirated animal!! Mental haha! By end of today the charger will be fitted and tomorrow morning it will be mapped on the dyno so should be done by 11 he said .

Ooooo exciting times!!! And yours will be faster than that FN2?

Looking forward to seeing pics and hearing about this. Should be awesome fun - ooo, and that charger whine as it spools. yum!

yeah he said it should make around 280-300bhp... maybe we shall wait and see what happens haha!

The supercharger wine is going to sound immense. will have to get some vids up after

Mlmmmmm this is exciting!

Cracking stuff Dan, can't wait to hear it and see it! I'm def up for a little meet with yourself and George once weather improves a little bud.

The car made 304 bhp, will add more info and pics later as I'm working today and all weekend :(

But yeah it's mental haha!!

Insane!

My old man lives in Ledbury, I might have to make a trip up and have a ride lol

JoshH we will have to organise something, as above a couple of us are going to meet up at some point, I'm sure the others wouldn't mind.
