Before:
After:
A snap of my pews
My lovely clean plasticy engine bay 1.6 16v's of French Fury! ....errr yea.
An attempted mean face pic
A nother one for poops and giggles!
and A badly MP'd debadged boot - havent done this yet, but its on the summer to do list!
First week back at home ill be doing:
Black 16 nims thanks to Connet for those!
GTI Spoiler - thanks to hamspeed for hooking me up.
picked up my LCR splitter today so that will go on.

#3: Re: Sneakys Sport Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Thu May 20, 2010 5:06 pm ---- Nice one Sneaky! Looking good!
#4: Re: Sneakys Sport Author: RAWLUK12, Location: nottingham the one and only place to be!!Posted: Thu May 20, 2010 5:12 pm ---- yayee we have the same colour car!! it's a lovely colour!!
#5: Re: Sneakys Sport Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu May 20, 2010 5:52 pm ---- yea iron grey ftw
cant wait to get the spoiler and black nims on though, its crying out to me!
though they will be getting a refurb once they are tatty enough to justify it.
thinking either , bright silver, white or something unusual like takata green or orange or maybe dark matt/satin goldy bronze - its a bit jap but im into that kinda thing, not sure how it will look on a frenchy though so ill see.
#6: Re: Sneakys Sport Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 1:48 am ---- I love that colour. Well done mate.
#7: Re: Sneakys Sport Author: Rich196, Posted: Fri May 21, 2010 2:17 am ---- Looks awesome love the interior and body colour
#8: Re: Sneakys Sport Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 9:08 am ---- What are people using to attatch their LCR splitters?
im guessing i need to remove the little plasticy thing in the middle of the bumper, then offer up the splitter and shorten the ends to match the bumper.
then? drill some holes and use self tapping screws?
help please
- Reniewed my insurance today so the mods are now free to go on as soon as i get back, and beieve me the rims should be on in the first 2 hours of being home £1161 fully comp from Adrian Flux so i can do anything i want to its looks etc and it wont go up, only power mods will push it up even more and i havent got any of them in the plans yet.
#9: Re: Sneakys Sport Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 11:19 am ---- A little update to the car today.
Spot the Difference!
I love that shot!
just a mini update as i say.
I have some pics of part 1 of fitting the LCR splitter, which ill finish on thursday when my bro comes over.
and...finally, my replacement nimrod should be back tomorow from South Coast Customs and refurbished in a smart gloss black.
so if all goes to plan (unlikely with the week im having - need to get my locking wheel nutts broken off first so i can replace them with a set of McGards) they should be on the car tomorow afternoon! they will set the badge off nicely.
Upcoming: Car has been booked into a place in Brighton for the 28th to have the top of the tailgate resprayed, and my GTI roof spoiler sprayed up and fitted.
and ill be debading the boot and doors before it goes into the shop.
Lastly, a few shots after a clean, and my little back seat mascot! Simples *squeak!*
I love this next shot too ! looks really purposeful

#11: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated with pics! Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 11:23 am ---- i had to do my lion twice, as something blew in through the tiny window in my 'well ventilated spay booth' and landed in the laquer.
what colour you doing it? i was torn between black and colour coding.
#12: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated with pics! Author: Bigbenj_08, Location: CardiffPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 11:25 am ---- I dunno... I was going to do the surround in black with a red lion and then get my calipers CC'd to match.
Bought a spare lion of ebay with a grille for a tenner so i'm gonna have a play about
#13: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated with pics! Author: Bigbenj_08, Location: CardiffPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 11:40 am ---- Have you taken your nimrods of or winter btw? When you getting them back on?!
#14: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated with pics! Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 11:47 am ---- one of them was buckled, so after a month or two farting about trying to find a spare, i finaly have two. sent one to be refurbished in gloss black, its supposed to be ready tomorow, so ill have them back on then
#15: Re: Sneakys Sport - New Rims! Pic heavy - Updated 26/06/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sat Jun 26, 2010 3:15 pm ---- Well, i had a bit of a busy few days.
First of all, i finished fitting my LC splitter the other night, looks great, finishes the front end off well
My brother 'The Human clamp!' and my wallet on the bonnet... if you ever see it laying on a pub table, please send it to....
And... finally..finally got my replacement nimrod back from the refurbishers! isnt as good as the other three as its been sprayed not powdercoated. but it will do untill i refurbish the whole set when they get tatty or i get bored of black.
so heres some pics. keep in mind: A) cars filthy. Will clean it tomorow. B) It needs lowering i know, im saving for it now!
I'll give it a good clean and polish tomorow, and ill debadge the boot and doors if i have the time, then, its off to the body shop on monday to be spoiled rotten
comments welcome.

looks awesome mate 100% better. i think you should dewiper rear, get a oval pipe and mask the valeos!
would look immense then!
well jelous of the wings btw mine dont have the sport ones
you gonna be heading to trax?
#21: Re: Sneakys Sport - Spoiler! - Updated 07/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 2:54 am ---- i thought about dewipering the rear, but i dont want to loose practicality.
the masks ive been thinking about, but i may get a spare set to do that, i dont really want to do any mods that i cant undo when it comes to selling it on if you get me?
yea exhaust will be tackled soon, as well as a BMC induction kit.
but up next is suspension, gunna go for some Gaz or failing that some FK highsports.
i might yea when is it?
#22: Re: Sneakys Sport - Spoiler! - Updated 07/07/10 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 2:57 am ---- september 5th. should be good!
mate im doing the masks to and waiting for spare set of crystals incase i f it up lol
i got a custom oval back box which fills the cut original cut out a bit better and my bmc panel filter is being ordered end of month. then got cold air feed placing in
you getting coilovers or just springs and shocks?
i dewipered mine because i use to drive a van so never really bother about it plus any mist on it the heater sorts that out
#23: Re: Sneakys Sport - Spoiler! - Updated 07/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 3:03 am ---- i might actuly, ill be back at uni by then but silverstone isnt too far away from winchester so ill def see if i have a clear weekend, there many people going from here? dont want to go and not know anyone hehe
and yea im getting coilovers.
man im gunna be so poor lol, im buying all these things bit by bit so i can kid myself into thinking im not spending as much as i actuly am!
who made your custom box?
#24: Re: Sneakys Sport - Spoiler! - Updated 07/07/10 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 3:15 am ---- R-tec. in herts. £190 and then they doing center section for £110.
yeah use the search for trax. 206info got a stand there
i keep doing the same last month few lil bits
this month filter metal number plates gloos black mirrors and spoiler or splitter..... lil bits that make it seem cheap but all together over £150 then next month lowering. then wheels lol....
placebo aye?
#25: Re: Sneakys Sport - Spoiler! - Updated 07/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 3:39 am ---- ah good if we got a stand then yea ill most probably go me thinks, i want to meet some folks and maybe if my suspension is sorted by then go on track
yea my cars just snowballed a bit rele, i want new rear lights too lol, its running away from me!
you think your exhaust does the trick? my housemate at uni lives in herts so i may get him to pick it up for me if i order one.
#26: Re: Sneakys Sport - Spoiler! - Updated 07/07/10 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 3:53 am ---- yeah i love it.. it looks good but not chav and in your face has a nice purr to it but if you floor it gives a good growl... and thats on my 1.4
best thing is they have warranty on it you can choose the tip and how loud you want it. plus if after a while you decide you want a diff tip or sound etc they replace the back box to what you want and you only have to pay for parts. and its shiney
yeah i was looking at the red and white half n half lights for the rear...
#27: Re: Sneakys Sport - Spoiler! - Updated 07/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 4:27 am ---- ah good, i might look into them then when i start on the exhaust.
yea the m3 ones are good. im thinking either the smoked ones
#28: Re: Sneakys Sport - Spoiler! - Updated 07/07/10 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 4:40 am ---- i looked at the crystals to when looking around at the 206+ ones from france...
got white info stickers put on this week look pretty good atcually didnt think white would suit it as much as it does.
#29: Re: Sneakys Sport - Spoiler! - Updated 07/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 5:45 am ---- im still waiting on a custom sticker for mine gunna send AJ a pm actuly see how they are coming on, wanna get them on for tracks.
#30: Re: Sneakys Sport - Spoiler! - Updated 07/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Tue Jul 13, 2010 4:55 am ---- ok, so ive had some time off, and have been working on my sterio.
i had an old mutant amp laying around with some nasty damage to it after it was ina crash. so, i took it apart, and began rubbing it down, rubbing out the deep scratch.
then i began to prime it and rub down again:
then began on the top coats, iron grey
sanded and another coat
then a shot of clear, heres the bottom.
and top
while that was drying, i gave the trim a shot of satin black
and put it all together and gave it a polish. ive also tidied up the edges since these were taken:
really happy with how it came out, looks proper smart

i build a false wall to go on the side of my boot to house the amp so that keeps it out the way, am just scratching up my knuckles trying to run the wires down now!

one primed, one finished
both finished
i was worried it would look out of place, but it fits in quite well.

#44: Re: Sneakys Sport - Centre Console - Updated 19/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 10:22 am ---- thanks davek - you'll see me soon im sure, im moving back up to winchester on the 23rd august, you coming down to bounemouth meet on the 29th? could convoy it if you want?
thanks shaker, got some calls to make (insurance - just to double check my premium wont go up like they promised, and garage - for quote on getting the tracking done and torsion bar adjusted, gunna fit the struts myself) but i should be ordering my coils begining of the week, kamracing made me a good deal on a AP APF kit as they recomended them over the FK Highsports.
so im excited, gunna have to starve myself for a bit, but i wanted it to be done before trax.
thanks for the comments guys.

#59: Re: Sneakys Sport - Centre Console - Updated 19/07/10 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Jul 29, 2010 6:28 am ---- yeah thats fairly good. you up rating the torsion bar or sticking with standard?
#60: Re: Sneakys Sport - Centre Console - Updated 19/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Jul 29, 2010 6:46 am ---- standard, the kit comes with sum new rear struts i think, but ill use the standard torsion for now, may upgrade it down the line. when i have sum cash!
#61: Re: Sneakys Sport - Centre Console - Updated 19/07/10 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Jul 29, 2010 7:03 am ---- yeah i think even just replacing it with gti138 or 180 torsion will do!
#62: Re: Sneakys Sport - Centre Console - Updated 19/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 5:54 pm ---- should i give my coilovers a shot with some lubricant to stop them seizing up? if so what is readily available and not gunna cost more than something im rarely gunna use should cost?
#63: Re: Sneakys Sport - Centre Console - Updated 19/07/10 Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 6:02 pm ---- Use some vaseline on the threads if you have bought cheap coilovers, heard this works!
#64: Re: Sneakys Sport - Centre Console - Updated 19/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 6:07 pm ---- i bought AP APF coils, i dunno if they count as cheap lol? my wallet certainly wasnt laughing
#65: Re: Sneakys Sport - Centre Console - Updated 19/07/10 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Tue Aug 10, 2010 12:10 pm ---- Ok, had a few things arrive in the post today ...
some acoustic carpet, and 3m di noc carbon wrap - fancied doing a few bits of trim on the interior
so, i got to work finishing off a bit of my ICE install
i wrapped my false wall for the boot
and then set about mounting the freshly refurbished amp
and mounted it in the car, few wires to attatch still but, will do that at the bournemouth meet when i get the new LG head unit wired up.
was a great colour match with the rest of the boot and looks really tidy - looks less obvious in person, so very happy with that
and... finally... a special box arrived this afternoon
soo pretty, got a mate coming over on sunday to give me a hand
thats all for now really.
ciao

ah those pics made me all nostalgic... I remember watching my car's springs being changed and then stepping into a lowered car with a brand new set of 17" 205 rims... felt like a dream... all the way till I stacked it going round a corner about a month later that'll teach me to get carried away..
Looks sweet though. Hope you have fun taking it for a spin... try to beat rush hour though!

They are AP APF Coilovers, not cheap so im hoping the ride will be good and not too bone-shattering, they will be firm but not uncomfortable apparently so, ill definately post my opinion on them.
oh dear pete hehe, ill try not to stack it anyway! im a pretty safe driver id say hehe. is a straight road home anyway hehe, few roundabouts so should be good
#72: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated 19/08/10 Lowering! Author: davek, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Aug 19, 2010 7:47 am ---- Looking nice DSG - definately let us know how they are in terms of ride quality. I'll keep my eye out for you when I'm out and about.

#75: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated 19/08/10 Lowering! Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Fri Aug 20, 2010 10:19 am ---- there's no screws or velcro etc holding it in. its just the shape of it, i just angle it so the top part sticks up into the trim and push the bottom up to the side of the boot. made it with a card template first to make sure its a rele snug fit, that thing isnt going anywhere!

#93: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated + Pics 01/09/10 pic heavy Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Wed Sep 01, 2010 10:44 am ---- haha yea, they are standard in the sport interior, the door cards are starting to wear though, so they will be redone in the future, maybe different collour.

And I made up a little bracket to stop my can of Tyreweld rolling around in the boot! not really exciting but im bored.
How did you make the bracket? Did you buy it from somewhere?
#100: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated + Pics 01/09/10 pic heavy Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:46 am ---- thanks for the comments guys good too meet you finaly too dan and juan.
the bracket for the tyreweld was just a strip of metal i found lurking in the garage.
i bent it around the can, gave it a shot with some satin black, and then used a self tapper to attach it to the boot wall.
i used the little carpet flap thats already there to cover the pre drilled earthing point, and tucked the screwed end in there, and then just plop the can in and bend it around again so its snug.
where abouts in surrey was the longlife exhaust people? and will i have to leave the car there a few days?
#101: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated + Pics 01/09/10 pic heavy Author: Liam-HuTcH, Location: PeterboroughPosted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:48 am ---- Car looks Good in person Dude cant wait to see you out and about again

Hey, yeah it was good meeting in person and finally putting a face to the name.
Thanks, thought you had bought a bracket ready made.
Nah, takes them about 4 hrs to do the cat back. You just have to kill four hours!
#103: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated + Pics 01/09/10 pic heavy Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:57 am ---- long time to kill when you want it done now!!!! lol

Not too much diff in price. Mine was £279 inc vat and fitting.
But at least you would get the car back in the same day, rather than having to leave it there for a few days.

Yeah £279 for a stainless steel cat back and back box.
#108: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated + Pics 01/09/10 pic heavy Author: davek, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 8:24 am ---- I got a stainless Powerflow exhaust from Totton, just the otherside of Southampton if that helps. Nicely done with the option of different tail pipes which they can weld there and then to the system. Again, about sub £300 bracket.

I would say yes, but I haven't had it on a rolling road yet. It definitely feels quicker, acceleration has improved and feels nippier.
#111: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated + Pics 01/09/10 pic heavy Author: rudebwoi93, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Sep 07, 2010 8:49 am ---- Im really feeling that carbon wrap you know,,, were you gonna do the center console?
#112: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated + Pics 01/09/10 pic heavy Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Tue Sep 07, 2010 8:55 am ---- his center console is done in iron met grey but i think he was gonna try wrapping a spare
#113: Re: Sneakys Sport - Updated + Pics 01/09/10 pic heavy Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Tue Sep 07, 2010 9:58 am ---- yea im part way through doing a spare centre console, i basicaly finished one part, but wasnt paying attention and applied a bit to much heat and melted a bit of the pattern off, so after that balls up i started it again. the centre console is really hard to do so im taking my time on it this time.
if i sod it up again then ill give up on that bit, and try something a bit more creative thinking of doing some vintage tattoo inspired filigree with a stencil and stuff, and maybe carry the theme onto the rocker cover etc, in a mix of satin black with gloss black art work on, make it quite subtle and classy like. and if that looks good then ill carry it onto the amp in the boot too maybe, who knows...
(just a little fact-oid - i used to be really into art and graffiti, i went to art college and everything but dropped out of the course when my teachers killed all passion i had for it... so, car modding is my new medium
stay tuned i guess
and just a quick thank you for all the interest and comments this thread seems to get, i know its not a hyper tuned pocket rocket like most the big rollers on this forum, but i do like coming back to it and seeing people asking/pming me questions about how i did this and that etc. very motivating, so cheers!
