Project Banned
Hello,
Never ever thought I was going to do a project as I didnt think my ideas and my car would be good enough. But I thought, "Awk why not?".
Why 'Project Banned' I hear you ask? Because as some of you may know, I was banned from driving for 9 months for speeding. I am due to drive again on the 1st of July and I cannot wait. Yes, I was speeding and it was wrong and I will not do it to the extent I did then again (since some people will ask I done 84mph in a 50 ).
As I said, my car isnt the nicest. It was bought for me Xmas 08 and it was a bog standard Pug. A Y-Reg with nothing exciting to note. Unfortunately I dont have pictures of the car when I got it but I took some today.
So the plan is to do all my main modding until I am driving again. However I was sacked in November so I havent had the money, but I just got offered a job today so everything is back on track.
So I bought a new interior from Full_Throttle which I am well chuffed with. I also bought a small silver arial(sp?) and SP gear knob. I am doing some painting of my strips, also got some ultra twin halo lights from GayBay.
As for the future of her, I have plans. White alloys, sports front bumper, mesh grill set, phase 2 washers, fog lights, central locking, electric mirrors, an alarm fitted, blue sunstrip, blue pedals, some rear lights, colour some more interior, maybe some light tints, and might lower it a bit at the back.
So here is my car today,
The rear part of my interior,
Here is the part-time painting studio as it stands with my front and back strips, window wipper cover and boot lip.
Here is the wing mirror cap that I done,
Here is my white and blue vents,
And here is my Ultra Twin Halo lights I need to fit,
UPDATE: 07/03/2010
Got these finished today but I am working on colour coding my door handles (interior and exterior) so I cannot fit these at the moment.
These are the neons I bought and I am waiting for my mates uncle to do my central locking. I will ask him nicely to do this too.
UPDATE: 10/03/2010
Eventualy finished my center console. I went with the white slider. Also painted my exterior door handles. Well chuffed!!! What you guys think?
UPDATE: 13/03/2010
Got some painting on the go. Done my badge and surround gloss white and my calipers blue, to contrast with my white alloys I have just bought.
2 pictures of my white badge...
Another 2 of my caliper
And here is a picture of the wheels I bought :D:D:D:D
UPDATE: 14/03/2010
Well today I finished my interior (bar my drivers seat), I think its looking pretty cool.
Also decided to tackle my twin halo lights. Got them fitted but hit some problems which are still to be fixed. I think these take years off of the car.
UPDATE: 23/03/2010
I decided to attack under the bonnet the the remaining paint I had.
UPDATE: 13/05/2010
Well I eventualy bought my full sp grill set idividualy for a total of £120 - steep I know but worth it cause its rare to get a non-sports grill and once you pop you cant stop..
Quiet a dull day so I appologise
Also when it was a better day I took some pictures of under the hood. So I popped the bonnet to reveal this!!!
Cupra R splitter is in the post, central locking is defo getting done in the next 5 weeks. So its all looking good!!
UPDATE: 14/05/2010
So eventualy fitted my pedals after a year and half. I think they look superb and match the colour of my car very well.
UPDATE: 24/05/2010
I have my splitter fitted now and I think it looks the dogs man dangle's. I also bought a spoiler from ebay, in my colour, delivered to my door for £44. Bargain! Just waiting on my tiger seal to come through before I can put it on.
So here is the splitter.
Love it!! My next wage is going towards the £65 charge to get my license in my hands. I wont be able to drive obviously but its for ID purposes etc. Then its my pressed number plates, central locking, and my wheel bolts.
UPDATE: 28/05/2010
So the spoiler is fitted and I am over the moon with it. Happy as larry!
UPDATE: 14/06/2010
So nearly 2 weeks till I get my license back. I wont have the car exactly the way I wanted it but I was out of a job for 5 months of the 9 month ban. As the title says, its a work in progress - so slowly but surely I will get the wee Girl Thingy looking the way I want it.
I got the bolts for my wheels which was a huge relief, also got my number plates in, and I know there technicaly not 100% legal but I wanted a plain and simple look on the car.
Sneak peak of the wheels on, still to get the other 3 on. LOVE IT
And the new number plates...
And in comparison
Need it sorted by the 25th as I am going on holiday up north with the car, my step dad will drive it up. So all I need is an MOT and tax. DONE.
Watch this topic..
UPDATE: 19/06/2010
Well not so much an update, but a show of my lights on at night, since I have none.
Weather was good, I decided out of excitment that its only 2 weeks till i drive to take some pics of my sexy lights. I will change the side light to a nice white LED bulb, and sorry for the S*** quality - the sony erricson.
I just love them. Well well well well worth the £74 I paid. Happy days!!
UPDATE: 23/06/2010
PASSED MY MOT!!!!!! Couple of small issues, the rear level gauge is F****d, wishbones might need replaced soon too. Apart from that she is perfect.
Took some pictures before work today with my wheels on. Love them. I know the car is dirty. Pictures will go up on Friday with her all clean and ready for me to drive.
UPDATE: 05/07/2010
I can legally drive now.
My family and I went upto Aviemore for the week and it was on the Wednesday I could drive again so my step dad drove it up and sat there tempting me in the amazing weather. Wednesday came and when the clock struck midnight I was out and about. Felt great. It was as if nothing had changed. It was amazing.
So took some pictures when I was up with the nice scenery and all which I will put some up here and I will create a photoshoot thread with them all on.
As much as my car isnt 100% the way I wanted it for driving, its not far away. So over time and she will be perfect.
Thanks to everyone on here who has helped me with my car with advice hints and tips. I couldnt of done it without you.
UPDATE: 30/1/2011
Got big plans for the year ahead an so cracked on with buying some stuff. Plan on keeping the car until it dies, so spending more on the mechanical side of things.
Bought a new check strap, also phase 2 washers. And I am getting a new fuel filter put in as the car is juddering badly.
Also had some knocking noises from the back when I brake heavily, so going to get that sorted too.
The plan is to buy my mods as and when I get the dosh, then on a weekend of good weather and off work, I will do everything in the oner so should look a different car!
Watch this space
UPDATE: 11/03/2011
Well, I had a crash, simple as that. Ran into a Range Rover. Pics;
I swear I will do all I can to keep it on the road and restore and improve on the looks it had only a few months ago.
UPDATE: 05/04/2011
Thank f*** for that, everything has now been bought. The radiator, fan and housing is on its way to the mechanics as we speak. The bonnet arrived primed so need to get it painted somewhere. Its been 6 weeks off the road and I feel like I'v been banned all over again.
My friend who used to have a show 206, but then wrote it off, gave me a ripspeed DV720 CD/DVD player, with a fold out screen. Looks really good. So spoke to my dad who will have a go at fitting it, but I said I wanted to upgrade my speakers, so going to fork out for them too and fit them all in the oner. But not right now, as I am using the banks money lol.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So what you people think? I want all comments possitve and negative.
Thanks for reading and looking.

Anyway, it looks like a fine motor to me, i'm sure it will look awesome when you've finished.
#3: Re: Project Banned Author: Mrs_Howey, Location: WorthingPosted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 11:11 am ---- It looks like its coming along nicely, i love the vents fab idea look forward as to what is coming, keep up the good work
#4: Re: Project Banned Author: wagsy206, Location: Coatbridge, LanarkshirePosted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 12:33 pm ---- not bad son. still oem mods, (apart from the halos) but majority of the time, OEM is nicer.
IMO, i think a set of SP arches, 15" sirocco's, lowered 60mm all round, and spoiler and that'll be the daddy
#5: Re: Project Banned Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 5:49 pm ---- What you mean by 'oem'?
Arches was another possibility but I havent seen any in my colour or price range.
You know of any good scrappies around our area?
#6: Re: Project Banned Author: Iain, Location: Aberdeen, ScotlandPosted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 5:51 pm ---- OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer i.e. parts made my Peugeot themselves.

I am looking for some LED rears, so I dont think are my cup of tea. Thanks though.
UPDATE:
What are these? Pretty easy imo.
#13: Re: Project Banned Author: anthony_839, Location: romfordPosted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 10:49 am ---- cold cathode neons!
#14: Re: Project Banned Author: Joe, Location: SwindonPosted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 11:18 am ---- coming along nicely mate. Go easy on the mods tho as when it comes to insurance you'll get raped after being banned / points or whatever you got
Correct!!! In a nice blue and I plan to wire them up when Tom puts up a how to, no rush.

Well tbh I dont plan on naming all of my mods. If something happens to my car and I loose the things un-insured then so be it on my head. When/if I get my alloys I will tell them of that. Apart from that at the moment I havent got any major mods apart from painting really lol.
Also, I have finised painting my strips and window wiper cover and put them on. Looks awesome. Too dark now but I will put picks up tomorow at some point. Love the look.
