#1: Project 5 Door Diablo Red Author: dan1995206, Posted: Sat Nov 09, 2013 1:20 pm ---- Thought i'd start my project as i've been driving nearly a year now
so anyway this is my car when I first passed my test, its a 1.4 lx model in diablo Red
First I go a SP fuel cap and in the first few months as i had to pay back my mom as the first month my insurance was £500
Just as i was starting to enjoy my 206 i had a shocking exhaust failure and ended up replacing the whole system.
Had a strange problem in the alloy's that we're only the car would vibrate when i went above 60mph, after having them balanced 3 times i bit the bullet and got a set of nimrod's of ebay however the seller discribed them wrong and I ended up getting them for £20 per wheel. they also neede new tires so 4 new tires were also added.
I debaged the rear and bought a Ph2 bootstrip.
before
after
pulled over for a cheeky photoshoot
colourcoded Bumpers
took a few pictures while in cornwall javascript:emoticon('post','message','8)')
thats all so far, i've had a bit more work done to it. i changed the brake pads myself and also the wheel bearing have been changed.
update***
have a few updates from the past few weeks, got some led number plate bulbs and new fittings as my old ones were broken
also my rear lights were really letting it down and they were full of water lol so i bought some ph2's of Iain on here (don't mention the delivery) big thanks to him they are great
i've got a carbon wrapped centre console but the top half is diffrent to mine so i am going to wrap my top half myself once it comes
i noticed my fuel strap is majorly rusted so i will replace that next weekend
future plans:
gloss back Nimrod's
gloss black mirrors
lowered probably 40mm all round
powerflow exhaust system
gti 180 interior
re trimming door cards
masked crystals
plus a lot more but need money
feel free to comment what you think plus your opinions.
thanks for reading!
**update**
So as you may remember I sold this car after she went wrong again and bought a s***ty corsa. I then moved onto a Astra gtc which I built a show car out of and bagged it Last edited by dan1995206 on Fri Dec 30, 2016 8:49 am; edited 2 times in total

Ground scraping low is the only way
#7: Re: Project 5 Door Diablo Red Author: dan1995206, Posted: Wed Nov 13, 2013 12:36 am ---- Of course! Do you think 60mm is enough?
#8: Re: Project 5 Door Diablo Red Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Thu Nov 14, 2013 6:43 pm ---- you forgot to do the door handles:( looks good over than that!:)
#9: Re: Project 5 Door Diablo Red Author: dan1995206, Posted: Fri Nov 15, 2013 1:02 am ---- Yeah at the time I didn't have the bottle to drill out the rivets and re do them, I'm getting a rivet gun gun of ebay just finding the time to do it now
#10: Re: Project 5 Door Diablo Red Author: dan1995206, Posted: Sat Nov 30, 2013 2:17 pm ---- Updated**
#11: Re: Project 5 Door Diablo Red Author: dan1995206, Posted: Tue Dec 10, 2013 4:15 pm ---- Not really much of a update but gave her a good snow foam and got some cool reflections
Will be updating a lot more now my insurance has been renewed next on the list is a 180 interior
#12: Re: Project 5 Door Diablo Red Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Tue Dec 10, 2013 5:25 pm ---- looks great, Pal:) don't think you'll get 180 interior as they're all 3 door! you could probably get a 5 door half leather kit, then put the 180 seats in the front? tad more expensive that way but you'd have a full set of half leather with the sporty front seats!
#13: Re: Project 5 Door Diablo Red Author: dan1995206, Posted: Wed Dec 11, 2013 11:47 am ---- Cheers mate, they will fit just not the door cards I'll have to leatherette those or could get a full Roland Garros interior and be different!
#14: Re: Project 5 Door Diablo Red Author: dan1995206, Posted: Sun Dec 15, 2013 12:57 pm ---- Update***
Finally got my 180 seats so much better !
That's it until after Christmas now, after I will be re trim my door cards in black suede.
