#1: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Fri Sep 10, 2010 12:46 pm ---- Got the RS wheels back from the powdercoaters yesterday and popped down to Jefferies Tyres to have a full set of brand new Yokohama Parada Spec 2's fitted.
Got home and got them fitted.
*please note that the bonnet is open in the pictures as my dad was going to refill the gearbox*
I am going to be getting some 10mm spacers for the rears so they sit better on the rear. But need to get it dropped at the back to match all round.
Let me know what you think.

#3: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Felix., Location: south centralPosted: Fri Sep 10, 2010 12:54 pm ---- Vortex or nimrods would suit it better.
But it's not my car.
Still due red lips for wheels, custom gel centres with red xsi text and ive got the red bolt in valves on the wheels. Black and silvers abit boring and too over done so thought i might aswell spice it up abit.

Ironic how 'the only set in the country' make them look like vortex clones.
Vortex - often copied, never bettered

#10: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Felix., Location: south centralPosted: Fri Sep 10, 2010 1:18 pm ---- Shocker! @ Dan
Compomotive made 15 set of these wheels which was only 1 run. 13 of them were sent to Europe and sold and 2 sets were bought in the UK. One set by the chap I bought them off who works at Comp and another by a chap who used them on a 106 Dimma Show Car which is no longer in existence due to a burnout.
These wheels are now over 5 years old and when I search for them on Google I only ever find 8 results so super rare is the word I think were looking for.
Wheels are worth £900 + vat new without tyres. Last edited by Uz on Fri Sep 10, 2010 1:24 pm; edited 1 time in total

Nobody pays £900+VAT for wheels that look so boring. Even Compomotive. The fact that there are so few about should say something about their longevity & popularity.
#19: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Fri Sep 10, 2010 1:31 pm ---- Lol wut. It's silver? has morettes different colour, one has sp grills one honeycomb, different wheels, different badges mirror caps. Clutching straws much.

#35: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Fri Sep 10, 2010 2:06 pm ---- Cheers Mattie Yeh I'll be keeping this one as my daily driver to and from uni. My SW is being kept for shows and events i.e. weddings and stuff within the family (oh there's a few to come lol).
#36: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Geoff, Location: Evesham, WorcestershirePosted: Fri Sep 10, 2010 2:18 pm ---- Looking good Uz - I do like to keep an eye out on updates. I can't wait to see the SW photos!

morettes optics have now been tinted as my flyeye kit arrived today (thanks Stu ) Still deciding on whether I want to do the fogs.
What does everyone else think.
Cheers for all the comments so far
#43: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 11:47 am ---- I'm thinking the red touches look a lot better now that the wheel tape is on. Nice job
#44: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 11:48 am ---- Looks really good and yeah fogs need doing
#46: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 11:57 am ---- Fogs gunna be done now...I've still got plenty of light. I'm very surprised that I can do both lights using all of 40cm of this film with not much excess. I've still got over a roll and a half left. Might have to sell one of them.

#48: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 12:31 pm ---- What shade did you get Uz as I am liking this stuff.
#49: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 12:44 pm ---- I didn't mean it in that way Ste. I meant it in the way that too many people have done it now and I thought I'd jazz it up a bit. But I love the silver and black theme which is why I went for it...but I didn't want it look like every other silver and black car so added the red (which i know is very marmitey).
Mikey I used the Black variant on the lights and fogs.
If anyone does want a roll of the black variant I'm looking at selling one of my rolls as I don't really need it. Will sell for £10 posted to yourself. I've still got half a roll left even after finishing the fogs and I've only got the GT fogs to do now.
#50: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 12:44 pm ---- Oh right thanks Im looking at the grey one.
#51: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 12:52 pm ---- I really like the tints, very interested now. Sure they dont affect the light output?

Haven't effected light output on mine. But I'll check them once it's fully dark.
#53: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 12:54 pm ---- Yeh that would be great, morettes arent the best for light output already so dont want to make them worse

If it's the stuff I'm thinking of it doesnt effect it, it's designed in such a way all the light should pass through it as-if it wasnt there
Back on topic, I actually quite like the wheels tbh, look better now the red tapes on them..
#55: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:02 pm ---- Thats exactly the stuff...it'll alter the look of the car but it won't affect the light output. It's like a checkboard sort of thing where it's got tiny little hole very close to one another which allows it too look like it's one piece. You can see the holes up close but at a distance like I was for that pic the holes can't be seen and the further back you do the dark they look.
Thanks Ste
#56: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Fri Sep 17, 2010 2:36 am ---- All front optics now fully tinted.
All I need now is to get the two strips that go on the grille from somewhere and spray those in red.
Let me know what you think
#57: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Fri Sep 17, 2010 2:42 am ---- looking good
^ Is now deemed 'boring' - I shall go and get a decal made up and slap it on it..
Thats just pure p0rn, (I have a silver car, and this is what I have in my head!!)
#59: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:47 am ---- looks ace, dont like the petrol cap though.
#60: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: adzar, Location: UKPosted: Sat Sep 18, 2010 11:49 am ---- Nice work on the optics. Not too sure if I think it looks better yet. Definately looks good though, haha!
How are you liking it? Did you think about doing them red to fit in with your theme - might have looked tacky though...
#61: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Sat Sep 18, 2010 1:20 pm ---- I personally love it tbh. I want an agressive front end and with the tinted front it looks alot more agressive. Never thought of tinting the front ones in red as like you said now to come to think of it they would look real tacky.
What I do want to do is get a tinting film that matches the colour of the back lights and get rid of all the different colours and have them all red.
#62: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Sat Sep 18, 2010 1:27 pm ---- Yeeees, Loving it now
#63: Re: QuicksilveRS...nearly finished. Author: adzar, Location: UKPosted: Sat Sep 18, 2010 1:39 pm ---- I was gonna tint some masked valeos, as I thought that would look really good, but I got some morettes now. Think I'll leave them as they are for now and may consider doing it in the future. Got some other things on my list of 'To do's' first.
