#1: Project Banned Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 10:59 am ----
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.
#7: Re: Project Banned Author: andyeuro206, Location: motherwellPosted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 5:54 pm ---- you will belucky to get a full set from a scrappies tbh buddy
#8: Re: Project Banned Author: |SGP|, Location: Truro/Falmouth, CornwallPosted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 5:54 pm ---- and parts made by peugeot are going to look good and have alot less trouble
looks like a good start! keep it up!
#9: Re: Project Banned Author: andyeuro206, Location: motherwellPosted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 5:57 pm ---- i have a set of cracking phase 2 lights amoungst other peugeot parts for sale and am only about 10 mins down the road if you are interested
#10: Re: Project Banned Author: Hursty, Location: Hampshire/HertfordshirePosted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 6:03 pm ---- The phase 1 GTI alloys in gloss white look mint on Tivoli blue...just an idea...

I am looking for some LED rears, so I dont think are my cup of tea. Thanks though.

#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.
Joe wrote:

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.
#16: Re: Project Banned Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 12:58 pm ---- most insurers just make a notice of painting, on my insurance documents its classed as "exterior decorations" and they just wanted a list of what had been painted..be wise to check before going illegal...
#17: Re: Project Banned Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Sun Mar 07, 2010 7:59 am ---- UPDATE
Check original post
#18: Re: Project Banned Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Sun Mar 07, 2010 9:39 am ---- projects coming along nicely its really satisfying feeling when you do all the work yourself
and at least you've learnt your lesson now with the speeding
#19: Re: Project Banned Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Sun Mar 07, 2010 5:36 pm ---- YOU SAID IT!!!!!
Very true. Thats why I try and do as much as possibly myself. And yeah, but I learned the hard way.

Ahh bad luck man
I got caught doing 94mph in 50mph zone about 4 months ago and got 3points
but thankgod I didnt get banned, otherwise I would have to do my theory and driving test again as I had passed my test a few months ago lol
#21: Re: Project Banned Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Sun Mar 07, 2010 6:02 pm ---- Lucky!
I think it was becuase I was a young driver and I had just passed a few months before. Serves me right though.
#22: Re: Project Banned Author: alforster, Location: ChorleyPosted: Sun Mar 07, 2010 6:12 pm ---- Just noticed your project : vents look great in that colour - really stand out and the lights look good.
Good spray job, I try and do all my spraying myself as well, I find once I start a project it's really difficult to stop.
Anyway good luck hope you get what you want.
#23: Re: Project Banned Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Sun Mar 07, 2010 6:24 pm ---- Thanks pal. So do I lol.
As promised I will keep you updated so keep an eye out!

Same her man, I was 17 at the time, and passed about 7 months ago before getting caught.
Do you have to redo your tests again or something?
i really feel for you man

#27: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 10:51 am ---- Well there is a guy on ebay who sells them. Was only £3 or something. Its stuck on with a prittstick over the black one thats normal.

Yes! as long as your thinking about the gti spoiler and not some massive aftermarket one
#34: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 6:36 pm ---- Looking good but those brake discs are looking a bit sorry for themselves!
The caliper painting went well I see.
#35: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:18 pm ---- Yes is did, thank you very much for your advice. Got the paint it went great. But bear in mind the car hasnt moved since September.
And yes I mean a gti spoiler
#36: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: tRiCk, Location: MitchamPosted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:36 pm ---- Get the white wheels on so i can have a look! looking good, you got the best colour
#37: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:42 pm ---- Those wheels are gorgeous, and coming along nicely, i'd drop a gti interior in it now
#38: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Wed Mar 17, 2010 7:57 pm ---- I was thinking it but I have just bought the turbo for 100 so I might wait a bit till it gets used.
Wheels should be soon and well get pics out as soon as I fit them.
What you think of the engine bay? What should my other colour be? Orange? White? More blue?
#40: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: freestylejamie, Location: East LondonPosted: Sun Apr 04, 2010 5:07 pm ---- lv the interior looks like a realy gd spray, orange would stand ot alot n probly go well 2getha alothough u have nothing else orange right?
#41: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Sun Apr 04, 2010 5:31 pm ---- Correct. But something like that - a complete contrast may look good.
Got a good few other mods in the pipe line so updates due soon
#42: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: freestylejamie, Location: East LondonPosted: Mon Apr 05, 2010 9:03 am ---- yeah i do lv contrasts like that i used blue n ornage on alot of things in the past
#43: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Tue Apr 06, 2010 10:53 am ---- Considering I am going for the blue and white theme, should I get a clear fog and 3rd brake light?
#44: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: TTnTT, Location: Telford,ShropshirePosted: Tue Apr 06, 2010 11:00 am ---- Lovin the blue and white interior!! Looking good mate
#45: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 6:15 pm ---- Great progress mate, i'd get a spoiler and an interior for it now though, and get those white sciroccos on they are amazing!!
Engine bay looks good mate i would go for some white bits rather than orange, blue and white theme is nice but when you start adding more (contrasting) colours it can get a bit hectic and start to look a mess
Keep it up though looking better and better
#46: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: -Dan-, Location: London - ChigwellPosted: Mon Apr 19, 2010 12:55 pm ---- Really come along since I last read the thread, youre right about them chrome angels, they did instantly take years off the car. Looks quality mate, keep it up
#47: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Mon Apr 26, 2010 12:27 pm ---- Just bought myself an SP grill set. It was all separate so it was £60 for the bumper grill, £18 for the upper and £45 for the bonnet grill. So quiet pricey but I couldn't turn it down. I think it makes a massive difference to a 206 so I had to.
Also, done some work under the bonnet giving it a good clean and some lick of paint.
ALSO, going to buy some pressed plates to replace the manky stained ones I have at the moment.
Finaly my neighbour owns his own garage and he is going to sort me out with an MOT for when I get my ban lifted on the 1st of July, so without a doubt the car will be road worthy by then. I cannot wait!!!
#48: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info ShufflersPosted: Mon Apr 26, 2010 12:57 pm ---- really smart mate, youre awesome at spraying! im still a noob at it haha
really smart mate, youre awesome at spraying! im still a noob at it haha
Its not too hard. I had no experience when I started. Just take your time with it. Its easier for me cause I can sit with bits off my car no bother but others cant.
Dont hesitate to contact me if you need advice for it but I am sure there are millions of better painters than me.
#50: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Thu May 13, 2010 8:32 am ---- Updated for yall to ponder on. You better like, cost me a buck or 2
#51: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Thu May 13, 2010 8:39 am ---- Looking good.
Nice colour-coding job.
But a front sport bumper would make it 10 times better in my opinion
#52: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Thu May 13, 2010 8:46 am ---- Yeah I know I was thinking that too but only if I get one with the sp grill and in my colour. Cant be arsed with all the extra costs
#53: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: wagsy206, Location: Coatbridge, LanarkshirePosted: Thu May 13, 2010 10:40 am ---- i want your wee baby collie. lol. cracking doggie.
but youre fair coming on with that project of yours. will be worth while when you get to drive again. shouldnt be long now??
#54: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Thu May 13, 2010 11:15 am ---- 7 weeks today pal!
Cannot wait. Actualy its like I have been holding my breath for the last 7 months and come the 1st July I can finally breathe again. Might be a bit dramatic but you get the idea.
Look forward to potentialy seeing you around too!
#55: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: wagsy206, Location: Coatbridge, LanarkshirePosted: Thu May 13, 2010 11:25 am ---- not dramatic at all. i get huffy and puffy when i dont have my car for a couple of days, lol.
ill stand at my front door and watch for you driving by. it'll bring back memories hearing a 1.9D driving by .
#56: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Thu May 13, 2010 11:42 am ---- lmao. Well I can assure you I wont be speeding by, a steady 29mph in most cases.
In a weird way though, I am absolutely shitting myself getting back behind the wheel. I have had nightmares were I go in my car and just f*** up - accelerating insted of braking etc.
Also had another one where I was shaking and could only do 5mph on the motorway at Glasgow Fort.
Bad times.
#57: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: wagsy206, Location: Coatbridge, LanarkshirePosted: Thu May 13, 2010 12:28 pm ---- lol. i wouldnt worry about it man. you'll do fine.
i crashed my old car in 2008. lost control of the back end when a van cut me off. almost went head first into a fence, but managed to spin it so the passenger side took the brunt of the damage. i was driving only a couple of hours later lol. i was shook up, but not a scratch on me.
best thing to do is just sit in the car, get used to the feel of it again. if you have enough room, you can drive it forward to your garage door, and reverse it till JUST before it goes onto kerb. while its in your drive, its private ground
so you'll be able to get re-aquianted with the car
#58: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Fri May 14, 2010 4:50 am ---- Yeah I conveniently have a big driveway. Never thought on that, I will be sure to do that actualy. Thanks
#59: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Fri May 14, 2010 4:56 am ---- Really like the cc'ing on the dash looks awesome. Bit ot but how did you get banned for 84 in a 50? surely that's only 3 points max.

Nope. Letter of the law states if your going above 30mph of a set speed limit, it can lead to an automatic ban.
#61: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Fri May 14, 2010 5:56 am ---- Really? damn that sucks, I thought it could only be more than 3 points if it was twice the speed limit or over 100 (motorways etc). Only heard that from word of mouth so I guess it was just rubbish.
#62: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Fri May 14, 2010 5:59 am ---- Well the lawyer I had said it was all upto the judge and there was no set rule for it. I was hoping that he was in a good mood, turns out he was only in a good mood to drug dealers and fraudsters but not me.
I quote him saying "Doing that speed is ridiculous! 9 month ban and £250 fine"
c***

#66: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Fri May 14, 2010 11:52 am ---- Lucky him. No idea why mine was so harsh. Maybe cause I had recently passed my test + i was 18 = Stigma of a boy racer.
Oh well I learnt my lesson the hard way.
UPDATE with my pedals
#67: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 4:15 am ---- Right well I have got myself a CR splitter already cut to fit my bumper - just need to pop down to B&Q to get the self tapping screws for it.
Also just won a spoiler already in my colour for £44 from ebay. And again I need to buy some glue for it as I aint wanting to drill my car.
So by next week these both should be on, also if there is a how to on the neons, they too will go in

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
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.
Just to let you know if they find out they will void your insurance and then hardly anyone will insure you again.

Also, its my mates uncle who is fitting my central locking but he is sooo unreliable and its a night mare to get a hold of him. I want it in for when I start driving but I doubt it
Spoiler should be on this week. Check back later.

The vents just pop out. Use a screwdriver. Then when they are out you can see at the back they all detatch. Really easy mod to do.
UPDATE
Well my neighbour is looking at the car just now. He had to re-wire my lights, new brake wires, weld a whole on the side skirt plus others.
I will get a list when I get it back tomorow. Needs must!

#76: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Tue Jun 15, 2010 4:40 pm ---- Depends which colour your car is and the theme you have in mind really. And its all down to individual taste.
Get a photoshop request before to see what its like.

#84: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Sat Jun 19, 2010 3:38 pm ---- If a phase 2 comes up for a decent price then yeah I will get it. But next is some stainless stell door sills and my speedo getting revamped!!

#92: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED 23/06/2010! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Mon Jul 05, 2010 12:23 pm ---- 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. Last edited by JDave on Sat Dec 18, 2010 6:36 am; edited 1 time in total

Cheers pal for the comment. Means alot to get some praise.
I bought the paint from a local paintshop called Scotpaint who make it to the exact colour match for £8 for a spray can. I went there first and I was very very happy with the match so I consistantly when back there despite the slightly high price.
I know halfords do paint but I have never tried it and I wouldnt trust it tbh.
Hope that helps

#102: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED 05/07/2010! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 6:40 am ---- Rights, its been a very long time.
The power of driving has got to me and so I have mod'ed the car since the last post. Driving is the most under-rated thing ever.
Anyway, only thing changed is repairs.
-new window since it got smashed
-new power steering rack
-new fuel filter.
Oh the joys.
Anyway, got big plans this year. Watch this spot!

how did you spray your heater controls white though? im after doing mine as i also have white vents
#104: Re: Project Banned WIP UPDATED 18/12/2010! Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 2:16 pm ---- It's alot simpler than it looks and sounds. Use a flatheaded screw driver to wedge it out from the side, it quiet easily pops out. Then dismantle it and spray away.
Worth it imo.

Feels like a new car, so easy to turn and the crack and leek must of been there for a while and the cold weather has made it worse.
Truely in love with the car, 2011 will be a good year.

Yeah, I honestly coulnd't do anything if it was slightly complicated. I still have neons sitting in my cupboard cause the wiring scares me.
There are a lot of how to's on here, and as I have said, I knew nothing before I joined here, so ask away and there will be help. Promise.

#114: Re: Project Banned WIP Pic Heavy Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 9:06 am ---- What verticals?
The bits in the centre? I bought this from a guy who had it on his own Pug so I assumed it was made to fit and any problems were from my car.
