Solmans VRS - Project dirty derv

[Solman]

Well I thought I'd get myself a project thread on the go...

 

Bought this clean example from hutchysrs50. His build thread http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/281182-hutchysrs50-red-mk1-fabia-vrs/

 

Hope you don't mind me posting the link to your build there mate.

 

If I'm honest I'm very happy with the way the car is now, it's been very well looked after so I'm not looking to do a huge amount of mod's just some subtle ones along the way and maybe a hybrid turbo next year 

 

Anyway on with some pictures (Worth mentioning now, I have the picture taking skills of a sloth  )

 

Car on the way home

 

First thing to sort out was the leaky door seals, did some reading up about this, seems very common and if I'm honest a pretty easy fix if you've ever taken a door card off before  

 

Leaking like this on both sides

 

Coming apart...

 

Sealant on

 

Other door done...

 

All back together

 

So I was happy with the condition of the paint but there were a few scratches here and there that I wanted buffed out and the spoiler was pretty faded so decided to mop the car yesterday...

 

Car before I started 

 

Car mopped - no polish 

 

Was very overcast so you cant see the shine on the bonnet :(

 

Spent a good few hours detailing the car  

 

Mopped and polished 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So all in all, very happy with how the cars come out , has a nice winter coat on now, hopefully be a bit easier to keep clean 

 

So I think the car needs HID's, not happy with the yellow look if I'm honest, can anyone recommend me what kit to get?

 

 

 

So, that's probably going to be the biggest update for a little while, I've got some plans in my head though...  

 

Going to paint the chrome part of the grill black and have a new badge ready to go on

HID kit

Tint front and rear lights (only the clear section of rear lights)

Going to spray the air vent surrounds inside the car 

stainless exhaust system, don't know whether or not to go for 2" or 2.5"?

Also debating whether or not to vinyl the roof black... Opinions? 

 

More to come   thanks for reading

When you say 'mopped and polished', I take it you mean machine polished and waxed?

Looks very nice, and excuse my slight tongue-in-cheek humour!!!!!!

That is indeed what I mean .

Thanks , ha no need to excuse yourself, nothing wrong with some gentle ribbing :p.

Sorry Richard :( making me feel terrible mate lol

Looking spot on. All these tidy red ones I keep looking at make me wish I'd hung on for a red one but mine came up at the right money with good history so shouldn't really complain. I think a black roof would suit it

Looking good, but I'm biased
