GSi bumper went in for painting today , my mate did it, he's only an apprentice but he does a good job. Need to sort some wiring out for fog lights now, then get the bumper fit. , then need some skirts and arches!

Happy with the result.



Anyone tidied up the splitter before? Mine's abit rough, and want to tidy it up, was thinking of flatting it off and just giving it a mist of satin black?

C+C welcome

Not really mate, only that I removed rear arch trims to get them painted, and revealed some rotten rear arches, where the trims go, so it's booked into bodyshop 8th March to get sorted out.

Then gotta find some skirts/arches and get them painted.

May also be getting them cobra monaco S buckets off rowan too lol

Not going for full red gsi now, decided to go for this look when I get rest of kit!



What you think?

i just saw you had a gsi bumper and thought noooooooooo . . . Another flame red gsi, but if you keep it with the black trim along the top of the bumper, It will look very nice, and different! keep it like that!!

Small update:

Bought some Speedlines for her, off a lad on PNG. Gloss black



Then bought some red rim tape. (Don't tell Mum it's on her worktop!) haha



Didn't realise it was reflective till I took a pic with flash lmao, looks cool though I think!



Not on the car yet, as one tyre is bald, getting a new one tomorrow, and the car's in the bodyshop next week for some welding and painting doing, so will be on next week!

c/c welcome, what's everyones views on the red? I can't make up my mind!

Really liking this
Loved it as it was as I really have a thing for pre-97 sports, and one of the few cars I liked the slabs on
But the speedlines look like they have a great finish, and the black and red theme will look ace, nice going on that one!

Cheers lads, hopefully it will look immense for PVS this year!

I am gutted, Ordered a new tyre for one of the wheels, 195/45/16. Dad took it in to get fitted on his way to work this morning.

Got it back home and it's a 205/50/16?? WTF?! lol.. Didn't realise until I put the wheel on the car and it was touching the arch, and I was like, that tyre looks mahoooosive Dad!

Taking it back Monday as I actually ordered 195s lol
