looks spot on mate , tell ya what though you aint gonna get your shopping in the back now though are ya
cheers mark.

 

gus yeah you did when you getting yours?

Moondust_crust cheers i'll have to use the micra for the shopping oh the shame

 

mine should be going in hopefully 2nd week of jan

then back for paint

 

class

you decided on a colour yet?

 

no im really liking this blue thou




will look quite good with me anthracite bits

 

looks nice, but think i prefer the white. the green colour werent bad either

 

big step to take


will see in closer to paint time

 

yeah it is a huge step, will be very difficult when it comes round to decision time. im still 99.99% sure mine will be black, its the wheels and decals i cant decide on

 

like the car

 

deffo get the original decs on mate! will look mint with em on! as for the wheels, why not comp mo's or something just as track slag?

Dunc

 

yeah i would say keep the decals on

 

rye cheers bud

Dunc Maclean standard or 17" superleggera's as currently i have a set of both so it means no cash outlay like the look of the MO's aswell tho

gus i just cant decide

 

ive got the standard decals on my black S1, looks ok...

 

got any pics handy ?

 

Keep the original decals and put a set of them diamond cut seven spoke mondeo rims on

 

GraphiteGray those diamond cut rims are really nice but far far far too common, so that is a definite no, want something kinda slag looking i think if i deviate from standard. honestly cant make my mind up on the sticker front tho, with or without, i like it both ways

 

With you driving it'll look enough of a slag as it is

 

yeah but no but yeah but not but yeah but... what ever

 

only one at mo mate,

 

put the RSi graphics on or you may as well badge it up as an xr3

 

essexrsturbo not the best pic ever but thanks kidda

GraphiteGray thats like what most people have said, "if you dont have the RS16i graphics on it people will think its an XR3" I reckon im gonna have to wait til i see it in the flesh all painted with no stickers on before i have a proper idea of what im going to do.

even with the cage, no stickers = understated and stickers = rare car

 

no probs mate, ill try get some better ones mate, as i havnt been near it in months, as its being stored

 

essexrsturbo's cars wicked

 

essexrsturbo ah right, cheers

 

any more pics m8t ?
i ordered my cage today so shoould have in a few weeks
thinks its time i do a post on it

 

ive scrapped better shells than that (thats not an insult to you ) amazing what you find when you start all i can say is i would have given up a long time ago (nearly did just reading it ) why are you going to use smoothrite under it ? cos when i worked on trucks & trailers you could get stuff called chassis black from the paint supplier so is the perfect thing to use (ive used it on alot ov mine over the years ) & if you still need the central locking,window motors & electic mirrors ive got the lot with the wiring out of a mk1 orion ghia if your interested keep up the AMAZING work as i will love to see this when its finished

 

Good thinking with the mulgrips dude

sorry about the lack of updates guys i been busy doing not a lot really

 

had a bit of an idea today, what about these wheels and decals to make a a black datapost rep

 

a think you should mate if you are going to be using it for the track.that would be well nice tearing around the track

 

its going to be mainly road car with occasional track use

 

aw well then maybe no mate.would be class looking on the track tho
