Shame there doesn't seem to be any company's that do it near me or I'd take the plunge eventually. Decat ftw! you'll have yours fitted before me at this rate!

Thanks mate
I assume you mean the hydro dipping? The company I used are called Garnish based in Exeter and mainly despatch dipped items rather than collecting in person, there is a guy on fb under "Gti 180 owners" page called Ben who does hydro dipping who's more centrally based in the uk

Cheers mate, just had to give her a wash and polish the wings where the sp arches were but tbh and you'll probably agree when you see pics later, the car looks better without them
my decat arrived yesterday going to be a few weeks before it's fitted though as going to buy some lambda sleeves for it first
Just google hydro dipping and see where the closest one to you is, I bought parts off ebay and had them sent directly to the place who dipped mine and they sent them back to me
#246: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update new & missing parts ;) Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Apr 28, 2014 5:11 am ---- So Saturday saw the car at Castle Combe for PAD,
it was here I realised I need to get the sp arches back on so as soon as I got home I set about ordering a new arch, unfortunately it's completely the wrong colour on a plus note, have ordered the lambda sleeve needed to get my decat on the car
also just ordered 8 of these which will replace the m6 bolts used on the wings, headlights and front grille :halo:
#247: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Updated 04/05/14 More Goodies Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun May 04, 2014 12:01 pm ---- Well show season is here so only right I treat the car to some more goodies
Decided the honeycombe grille with red inserts is boring me now so luckily luke saunders was selling his black zunsport grille set, bonnet vent and bumper grille and standard sp midde grilles
had a 207 sp badge in my car box and since the zunsport badge is welded on decided to fit it underneath, not too sure on it tbh, just wish i could remove the zunsport one without ruining the paintwork
since the weather is so nice I thought i'd take advantage of the sun and start spraying the middle sp grilles in smooth black hammerite, after the 1st coat, will finish off tomorrow hopefully
As soon as the main zunsport bumper grille is fitted, the honeycombe will be up for sale, also hoping to get the decat on this week
#248: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Updated 04/05/14 More Goodies Author: JamieM, Posted: Tue May 06, 2014 9:33 am ---- Take the SP badge off!
Number one it's bent
2... way too much, keep the Zunsport or cut the zunsport out and fix the SP badge in place some way!
Looks good though Matty, engine bay bolts look nice that's on my list of to do's shame swampy off Saxp turns out to be a scammer (even though I had no issues previously) or I'd get some more bolts from him, where you get those ones dude?
Also, the lambada sleeve, is that the one you pm'd me? just gna make sure before I order it also, while I'm on the talk of the decat are you planning on fitting this yourself or taking it somewhere? wondering because it doesn't look like it will fit nicely from what I saw when taking a butchers yesterday. Beer could have confused my brain tho...

SP badge already removed mate
keeping the zunsport as it is as it does look quite subtle
The bolts look awesome when fitted mate, so glad you talked me into going purple but these have a flip type look they were however expensive, cost me £57 for just 8 bolts
the lambda sensor unfortunately doesn't say what size hole to drill so i just drilled a small hole then screwede it into the pipe, going to get a garage to fit it as i don't trust my skills plan to book it in next friday morning
#250: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Updated 04/05/14 More Goodies Author: JamieM, Posted: Tue May 06, 2014 4:07 pm ---- Purple is the best colour in the world mate if I had black it would be the only colour for me
Glad you got shot of that SP badge, one or one or t'other really haha.
8 bolts for 57 quid wwwwwwhat would have been cheaper to anodise them yourself in VHT purple, (not as nice a colour mind).
Thats what my plan was to spray the middle one black too but just never got round to it when I had my car.
Thanks Luke
These have turned out much better than a previous set I did, god knows why
Managed to find some of those clips for the bumper grille in the garage was only looking for electrical blocks for my room and came across 6 of them lol
#254: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Decat pipe fitted :) Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun May 18, 2014 2:48 pm ---- By far this has to be my favourite mod on the car it brings such a smile to my face when I put my foot down
yesterday car went in the garage to have the decat pipe fitted, had bought a lambda sleeve from Kam Racing but turns out it couldn't be fitted due to clearance issues, have driven 63 miles since it was fitted and feels so much better and more responsive and more importantly i've not had any warning lights come one, bonus !!
Have also had the engine cover and washer cap sprayed in what was meant to be cadbury's purple but looks completely different but still looks nice, will get pics of this up this week.
As she stands at the mo from todays car show in Devon
#255: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Decat pipe fitted :) Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Thu Jun 12, 2014 1:29 pm ---- Well since the last car show the pug attended she has had yet more changes made
The honeycombe grille has been removed and a zunsport black alloy grille fitted, the pics were taken at FCS and show off the engine bay with it's new bling bling
Some people might hate them but I quite like them, especially in purple
New front sticker, in purple of course
Caught the "i" on the Gti180 badge so had to remove it all together, looks alright tbh
Few random pics of the pug on the drive to FCS and at the show itself
Since coming back from FCS i've decided to go black led's on the rear and to start saving for a respray, coilovers and a new set of wheels all for FCS 2015
