Try this colour on the RGB scale thro MS office custom colour

It works out a very dark grey, would look mint in Matt colour.

 

That's pretty much graphite, just without the ever-so-slight blue tint. I'll see if Halfords can do it for me at a reasonable price, but with their standard cans of Graphite for only £6.49, it's gonna have to be a decent price to compete.

 

Well, I've been busy planning more parts to bolt on.

 

 

 

I really want to attach metal & rubber underguards, much like the Tangis in NI, but no idea how I'm going to pull that off.

 

 

 

 

Next month is a big month - depending on the health check, I might be able to push on with adding new parts... but for now it's staying as it is.

Just one question. Where are you going to get

missiles from? And where can I get some?

Did you ever see the police deception Octy? 

Barricade??? It's quite an old thread but the car looked epic.

lmao, well I know a man who knows a man called Bob

 

Nah, I'm going to do the "super-geek" and do a custom prop build. I've seen enough "Ecto 1" roof builds to know that anything is possible, so I'm sure I can work it out.

 

Wow, that barricade is awesome! Shame the thread is dead though - would be nice to know what happened to it.

Aww that's a shame, it looked awesome :(

Well I decided to go with old faithful - it's widely seen as one of the best paints by the Vauxhall crowd. Weird, considering it's a Ford paint

 

 

 

 

 

Someone forgot to buy lacquer though, so it's back to Halfords in the morning

This is driving me batsh*t... I can't figure out whether I like these lights or not.

 

 

 

 

Anyway, I've been able to secure some "eye brows" nice and cheap and I'll be booking the car in for it's service shortly. Speaking of which... I've always used Castrol Edge 5W30, but recently Mobil 1 Esp 5W30 has caught my eye. Has anyone used this? Decent oil?

 

I'm really hoping the engine health check comes back ok - I feel like an expectant father atm... I'm just praying the head gasket is fine.

lights would probably work with your look

 

 

hopefully all goes ok then on with decat fitting!!!

Been a while since I updated anything - been working a lot so not had much time.

 

My step-brother is moving into a bigger unit at the beginning of October so I'm hoping he can do a full major service on the car... and if everything is alright then the fun can begin!

 

My first big shiny thing has arrived... so coilovers are going to be a possibility and I can get rid of the sump guard.

 

 

 

Hopefully I can then start saving for zaust and FMIC

New shiny bits!

 

First of all there's my new tow strap... adds a certain "something" to the car.

 

 

 

And then I decided to get rid of my Pipercross induction. It's getting a bit ropey and it makes then engine sound silent.

 

 

 

New K&N fitted, now with 2 cold air feeds. The BOV is now making more noise and the engine actually has some grunt back.

 

 

 

Then I took it for a spin round the block... having forgot to plug the MAS back in I still wish the BOV was louder - it's gone from "tst" to "Tsssssstttttt" but I want "TSSSSSSSSSSSTTTT!!!"

 

I've got matte black sunstrip to fit and then that's it until the service.

Oh... and how could I forget this!

 

Added my gang colours

 

Only problem if your filter is now sucking in lots of warm air so it might sound better but you'll be down on power in comparison, not sure how effective the cold air feed wil be... I like those headlights too but I don't think they make them for the UK as they're LHD and don't do them in RHD

im getting a tow strap :yes:

 

looks good filter sounds wicked thier :clap:

 

still need more power!

Funilly enough, I've not noticed any drop in power or any other adverse affects. In fact, acceleration seems a teeny bit smoother - I think the better location of the cold air feeds is making a difference, as the other one wasn't sucking it directly from the outside.

 

I did think that about the lights, but they're E Approved so I don't think anyone would really care - same as my old Corsa lights.

I know :( Once the service is done I'm going to start saving. I'd quite like to get to Stage 1 - I think that'd be a nice upgrade without spending too much

i notice no difference either my filters nearly same as yours tips a big longer but i love the sound so aint gonna move it for 1bhp

 

 

stage 1 and zhuast you need noise with this look!!! piper cat back and my decat epic

got a cheap fmic now aswell

A couple of little bits done:

 

One of the biggest pain-in-the-arse jobs ever. Very helpful at this time of year though, as the sun is very low - looks quite smart too.

 

 

 

Test fit of the eyebrows - can't make my mind up yet.

 

 

 

Overall look

 

 

 

And I've bought myself something different - got a 5 litre bottle for the service and a 1 litre bottle for in the car. I've always used Castrol Edge, but I'm keen to see how this performs. Smells amazing! Not that I'm sniffing it or anything

 

 

 

Don't know anyone else who uses it, so it's guinea pig time!

is that sprayed on?? like it

 

never liked the eyebrows on any octy,yours is no different just make it look depressed

 

i always use mobil not that though

A completely unplanned update: I've been having a clearout today and I found this!

 

 

 

 

Completely forgot I had it - took it off the car and threw it to the back of the garage. Not the best WRC spoiler available, but I thought it might look a bit better on the Punisher car...

 

 

 

Looked alright, so decided to paint it.

 

 

 

 

 

It's now sitting in the garage drying off after 2 full coats of paint.

 

 

It might look a load of crap (it did when the car was silver) but if it does it's cost me exactly £0. I've still got over 2L of paint left so I need more bits to paint

could be good

Dried and fitted - I've gone over a few bits whilst it's on the car, hence you can see some smearing (wet / dry contrast). Not a perfect fit and I'll have to re-drill some holes, but leaving it on to "weather" and lose its shine.

 

 

 

 

 

Overall I'm pleased. I think it would look awesome with louvres on the rear window - I just need to find a supplier / fitter

Love it!
