Up until FCS, the changes to my 180 were kept a bit quiet so thought it was about time to show the new additions to the car
massive thanks to JamieM who convinced me to go purple

As said in the other thread dude, car is looking very nice! and purple = amazing.
One of my favorite 180's. Got the right mods and looks aggressive! I reckon you should get a re sized front plate to finish the front end!
*if you want to do it, I can measure my front plate for you
& nice one on the mention, you did all the work!

Yes please mate  have just fitted new plates on there with the 3d carbon look but would certainly whip the front off for a smaller front
Haha cheers mate but tbh if you hadn't advised it, I wouldn't have gone purple and would have stuck with the red

Okay - as you know I'm not an ego-stroker.
This is almost the same as Miranda's car (Cadbury purple on metallic black), so it doesn't have the WOW factor for me - especially as it can only be seen with the bonnet open.
It would have looked far better if the centre groove in the engine cover was painted black or a complimentary colour. That Peugeot Sport badge on the engine cover has certainly done the rounds!

Each to their own but tbh imo mine is completely different to Miranda's, it has much less purple detailing and will remain to have little purple detailing, keeping it subtle.
To spray the centre of the cover it would all have to be rubbed down so every inch of it was smooth but that would cost too much money for something which may not look right.
As for the peugeot sport badge i've not seen it on the peugeot's i've seen and certainly not on any at FCS this year

I understand what your saying Barking but i've seen an engine cover with the smoothed centre and didn't like it, having said that I do have a spare cover so if I do change my mind I can do what you suggest
Miranda's is nice but i'm definitely not doing the wheels, only the calipers when inget a new set.
