#1: My car - on going project Author: dan_206, Location: Bury St EdmundsPosted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 11:20 am ---- Right well thought id start one of these again as im bored and want to show some new updates
Bought the car this time last year from a previous member on here so the car has been on here a while.
The day i got it.
Now i didnt really have much planned for it then except tints 180 interior and few little things but then once it started i couldnt really stop.
So first up was the tints;
Then the angles went and i didnt want to replace them with more chrome ones so got the smoked ones, also painted front badge black;
Then interior work started (180 style), managed to pick up the chrome door handles and carbon fibre effect centre console, handle surrounds and vent surrounds from Graham.
Fuel cap got a bit of a make over as it was an easy job and a bit different, was keeping within my blue/black theme;
Gti wing mirrors then replaces the standard ones;
After than i decided the callipers and drums needed a bit of a clean up and more attractive look, callipers went blue and drums are pretty gash so went black. Also painted the rear window matrix's blue. Although no specific pictures of these, probs see them in bigger pics.
Then the best buy for my car i ever got and probs will ever have. I got the winning bid on ebay for a 180 interior, front and rear seats, door cards, glove box and leather binnacle (all for the sum off £250) what a steal. They needed a bit of a clean up as they had been in a shed for a month or so and the air bags had been deployed but a good day of cleaning and a bit of glue they looked almost as good as new;
Then came the DIY (and marmite style black bonnet stripes)
Then interior was completed with silver vent sliders and i decided to tint the rear break light (was red) and fog light (was clear);
So after deciding that my wheels were pretty shagged (curbed and scratched) i thought id have a go at refurbing them. My original idea was to do them black but i thought, well everyone does black wheels and black theme with car colour so ill do something a bit different and experiment. Now this is not going to be everyones cuppa tea but i like it, the wheels went day glow orange along with front badge, aint really seen it done on too many cars especially 206s;
Thats how she stands at the min, but ive been told to get bonnet stripes done orange or loose them etc to fit in, but i have plans to get a carbon fibre bonnet for her, so time will tell how she looks. Im happy with it all at the min but few more things to come.
