#1: Stiffys 1.4 HDi - Revamped and more added... Author: stiffy, Location: HerefordPosted: Sat Apr 24, 2010 8:03 am ---- Hey all
Here goes, I've had my 1.4 HDi since March bought it with just under 80k on the clock completely standard '52' Plate.
Within a week of owning it I got hold of some Scirroco's with tyres on for a good deal so on they went
A couple of weeks later a GTi rear bumper in my colour cropped up so I bought that.
Then about a week after that a GTi front bumper in my colour came along, I could'not believe my luck!
Then my Crackshaft Pulley decided it was going to make a nasty racket so that halted mods somewhat due to it costing £167 to put right
The French Car show came along before I knew it and I bought some Angel Eyes from DeadEyePaul (cheers mate ) and some pressed style number plates.
Some track shots from FCS
My car was really taking shape now so I booked it in for it's first major service in the time I had owned it costing a whopping £243 this also halted mods somewhat but I soon recovered
After having seen some of the fantastic work gone in to our beloved 206's at FCS it gave me some inspiration for my interior so out came the spray can, I always thought this looked quite tacky but after having done it I really like the look
Then my old Saxo bucket seats that have been sat in my garage for years came out and after much mucking about between me and a few mates they were 'persuaded' to go in
My armrest for that added motorway comfort
Then I finally got round to having my coilover kit fitted, at long last
She's down 40mm and it was totally worth it you might also notice my alloys are now white too
While it was being lowered my mechanic fitted my Brembo discs and Mintex pads because my old discs were close to shattering whoops!
It's going back in the next few weeks to have my back box fabricated to fit as it's from a GTi fitment and needs some modification to go on, other than that though she's nearly complete
Next on the list is;
De-wipering the rear
Finish off colour coding the bump strips
Black vinyl-ing the roof
Boost guage
De-cat
FMIC
Custom re-map
So from this
To this in less than 6 months
And just a nice scenic shot with a little colour editing
Thank you for reading, comments welcome Last edited by stiffy on Thu Jul 22, 2010 6:46 am; edited 5 times in total
