#1: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Sun May 06, 2012 4:17 am ---- Hey,
Thought as I'm doing a few bits to my car I would start a progress thread.
Bought my white S1600 end of Feb this year and I think its pretty awesome.
Mods so far include:
Front windows lightly tinted
Read windows tinted dark
Team Heko wind deflectors
DMB badges
Vinyl wrapped wing mirrors
LED side lights
Osram Nightbreaker+ dipped beams
Silverteck indicators
K&N Panel filter
Flyeyed headlights and fogs
Mods for the future:
Lowered on coilovers
spray plastics gloss black
vinyl lower grill bumper
cat-back
Black vinyl roof
Possibly change wheels but not 100% on this.
Splitter
Mountune spoiler Extensions
Possibly white eyebrows
So here it is as it came from the garage...
So my first mod were the Hekos...
Then the DMBs. I did buy white with black writing but i didnt think it looked very good so changed them for back with white writing.
Then the window tints, mirrors and sunstrip
Silverteck bulbs. Think these make the lights look so much better than the nasty orange bulbs
Thought I'd try a bit of flyeye on the front headlights and fogs
Then the most recent thing i have done is change the bulbs from standard to SMD LED side lights and Osram Nightbreaker+ dipped beams..
Here is how they are as standard:
(i dont know why but this picture reminds me of a cats face with its ears back.... maybe its just me)
New sidelights:
Sidelights and dipped:
I got some red LED's in the foot wells now, think it looks good and matches the interior lights quite nicely
Some pics I took of my car after getting the roof done, Enjoy
Nice pic of the speedo..
And here is a Nissan GTR that was wrapped orange. Looks so cool, i really want my car wrapped, maybe green or orange.... hmmm
Next is going to be the H&R springs i think.

#4: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: michaelbishop, Location: IrelandPosted: Sun May 06, 2012 6:43 am ---- Love your car mate, not sure if the fly eye is my taste but overall the car looks great! Haven't seen those alloys very often!!
#5: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: GTI_89, Location: NewcastlePosted: Sun May 06, 2012 7:54 am ---- has the fly eye made the lights any dimmer when driving at night?
was considering geting some but was unsure
#6: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Mon May 07, 2012 11:23 am ---- thanks for the comments guys. NoI have not noticed any reduction in light output at all. I had itbone of my 206s before n it always seems to be ok.
Having a bit of a sulk at the moment as i am seeing about 10 white mk7 fiestas a day now. Need to get it wrapped asap i think. Cant decide between RS green or orange
#7: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue May 08, 2012 1:50 pm ---- green or maybe matte green for something different
#8: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: LiamGTi180, Location: OxfordPosted: Tue May 08, 2012 3:47 pm ---- These are nice cars. I think now you've got black roof lights and mirrors the white wheels look a bit out of place now. Gloss black wheels like on the fiesta metal would really suit.
#9: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Tue May 08, 2012 3:57 pm ---- yer i will probably do this at some point. Maybe get some pro race 1.2s they look great on these cars. Going to save up for the wrap/new springs first i think
#10: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Fri Sep 06, 2013 8:18 am ---- I gone and dun sum mods ent I!!
#11: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Sun May 18, 2014 3:52 pm ---- It'sbeen a while.... here she is now, sitting pretty. Still missing the 206s though was tempted to get a 180 as a second car but I've moved house and have nowhere to keep it.
#12: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Mon May 19, 2014 2:26 pm ---- I have to admit, this has grown on me quite a lot.
Looks mean with those alloys in the last picture - not as friendly as when you first got it!
#13: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Mon May 19, 2014 5:18 pm ---- No it's definitely a lot meaner than it was when I first bought it. Just refurbed those wheels in Audi Quartz Grey so might stick a photo up once they are back on. I went for a test drive in the new ST which was nice but I don't really want to have any more outgoings so have to stick with this old girl for now..
#14: Re: Craigy00Craig's S1600 thread Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue May 27, 2014 4:25 pm ---- sure i saw one like this in andover the other week!
