#111: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 24/5/13 new parts Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat May 25, 2013 5:05 am ---- @Tolkienfan001 haha only if the price is right I don't think this project will ever be finished because there is jobs i'll probably never get done
@DanT cheers mate, started to strip the front end this morning, never even attempted to remove the headlights before and am well chuffed with myself right now
Will get some proper pics up on monday once she's had a good wash
#112: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 25/5/13 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat May 25, 2013 5:41 am ---- well today i've started on changing the front end and by doing it i've completely surprised myself as this is the 1st time i've ever taken the lights off on my own
anyway here's the progress so far, just have the bumper to remove with the help of rttm later
first essential piece of equipment
#113: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 26/5/12 New Front End Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun May 26, 2013 10:46 am ---- So with the help of rttm we managed to fit all the new parts for the 180, definitely looking alot better although the passenger headlight is doing my head in and you'll see why in 1 of the pics
Had a quick play with the bra
Toying with the idea that the car needs to go a bit lower now

#119: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 09/06/13 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Jun 09, 2013 10:37 am ---- @Steve137 - there not i'm afraid mate or at least I don't think so
@Tolkienfan001 - cheers mate each month something new always ends up on the car still need to send off my spare dash display cover to Edge Automotive to have trimmed in black alcantara with red stitching
they did this one on my last 206 and wish I never left it on the car when I sold it
wanting to get the roof lining, sun visors and c-pillars done too so will be popping up to a local company to get some prices although they've already said that the cost of the alcantara is £50 a metre
#120: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 09/06/13 Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Sun Jun 09, 2013 10:40 am ---- Yea I want the c pillars roof and visors doing too. Will probably get it done when I get the door cards, glovebox and seats all redone in black and red leather. Going to cost a lot!
