#1: Project 5 Door Diablo Red Author: dan1995206 PostPosted: Sat Nov 09, 2013 2:20 pm

Thought i'd start my project as i've been driving nearly a year now Very Happy


so anyway this is my car when I first passed my test, its a 1.4 lx model in diablo Red Cool

 


First I go a SP fuel cap and in the first few months as i had to pay back my mom as the first month my insurance was £500 Sad Crying or Very sad


Just as i was starting to enjoy my 206 i had a shocking exhaust failure and ended up replacing the whole system.

 


Had a strange problem in the alloy's that we're only the car would vibrate when i went above 60mph, after having them balanced 3 times i bit the bullet and got a set of nimrod's of ebay however the seller discribed them wrong and I ended up getting them for £20 per wheel. they also neede new tires so 4 new tires were also added.

 


I debaged the rear and bought a Ph2 bootstrip.

before

 


after

 


pulled over for a cheeky photoshoot Cool Very Happy Wink

 


colourcoded Bumpers

 


 


 


 


took a few pictures while in cornwall javascript:emoticon('post','message','8)') Cool Smile

 


 


thats all so far, i've had a bit more work done to it. i changed the brake pads myself and also the wheel bearing have been changed.


update***

have a few updates from the past few weeks, got some led number plate bulbs and new fittings as my old ones were broken Sad

 


also my rear lights were really letting it down and they were full of water lol so i bought some ph2's of Iain on here (don't mention the delivery) big thanks to him they are great Smile

 


i've got a carbon wrapped centre console but the top half is diffrent to mine so i am going to wrap my top half myself once it comes Smile

i noticed my fuel strap is majorly rusted so i will replace that next weekend Smile

future plans:
gloss back Nimrod's
gloss black mirrors
lowered probably 40mm all round
powerflow exhaust system
gti 180 interior
re trimming door cards
masked crystals

plus a lot more but need money Sad

feel free to comment what you think plus your opinions.

thanks for reading!

**update**

So as you may remember I sold this car after she went wrong again and bought a s***ty corsa. I then moved onto a Astra gtc which I built a show car out of and bagged it

Not really much of a update but gave her a good snow foam and got some cool reflections Very Happy

looks great, Pal:) don't think you'll get 180 interior as they're all 3 door! you could probably get a 5 door half leather kit, then put the 180 seats in the front? tad more expensive that way but you'd have a full set of half leather with the sporty front seats!

Cheers mate, they will fit just not the door cards I'll have to leatherette those or could get a full Roland Garros interior and be different! Wink
