hellooo thought i might aswell make a thread to keep track of progress etc... picked it up a few weeks back spec is.. GW with sticker pack and black pack lux pack xenons bluetooth keyless entry is standard apart from a forge recirc valve and an itv panel filter on it as far as i can tell.. anyway plans are not much a few bits .R spoiler black badges a trip to rs tuning for more power new set of tyres in the near future and just to keep it clean and tidy anywaya few pics as she stands thanks for looking updates to follow as and when
Looks lovely, white car with black wheels/trim is the best colour combo.........literally the best ever!
Does look good in white, I hate cleaning my car so could never own a white one! Does anyone know if it's possible to retro fit the Bluetooth feature? Or would it be easier to go the aftermarket route?
I'm in Elsecar.....used to work in mexborough for Gbh...you might of heard of them. No doubt see you about.
Plans are to sort it out first! Belts a few months ago, 4 tyres this week, clutch and flywheel then remap soon, got a set of springs ready to go on too. Loving it.
Had a ride out to blyton today, wasn't on track unfortunately but got a few pictures of the car, thought i'd share to keep it updated.

Had a few problems with the car on the way home from work friday it was misfiring badly, so after diagnostics from the green flag man, assumed right the car was misfiring on cylinder 4, tried a coil but no joy and set about ordering some injectors and new spark plugs which had never been changed and the car is approaching 40k so it needed them anyway so after ordering a set of each monday ads they arrived today and after work i set about fitting them And well shes alive! Running much better too Sparks had definitely seen better days All in all an interesting evening but she back up and running! Hopefully no more surprises in the near future!
Looks great and glad you got it back running. Was it the injector, or the plug then? Also, did you not consider having the spoiler painted gloss black to go with the black pack?
Cheers, not sure on the exact problem as both were ready for changing anyway so im guessing it could have been a mixture but im leaning towards the injectors being overly clogged with the amount of fuel that came out of the rail, Yeah thought about black but i just preferred the look of the white personally i know a alot have gone black on theirs
A pic from a meet the other night all fixed and back on the road now. IMG_9878_Fotor by DanSX, on Flickr
Gave the car a well deserved detail today, i wont go through the process so instead here's a few pics of the process Iron x doing its thing All taped up Also removed the rear grills to find this mess Looking better 50/50 on the grills And a few of the finished article Looking the best its ever looked in my ownership, anyway its all sealed up and ready for winter now
Looks mega mate. Front bumper looks very clean - mine is full of stone chips to the extent that you can see black plastic underneath. Stubby aerial to finish it off? Probably stop your radio working like mine though.
Cheers guys, yeah makes hell of a difference when the grills look glossier, bit of a ballache to do tho Yeah will probably get a shorter aerial soon.
