DJMARCOPOLO'S - The GREEN RIVET
-
Dat is fully P.I.M.P. 8)

If you look back at my project log it comes around a lot that I do love white wheels on a car and today she has her mid 90's essex style white hi heels on again
I have saved a while for these babies to be done properly, I bought them when a set was written off over christmas due to a huge pothole, I bought these for £80 and fitted brand new tyres on them but they were in a sorry state and I bought the 17" KEI's because they were almost new but plain and boring
Today after a week away I got these back on the road, brand new tyres back on them and fully refurbed, repaired, shot blasted and powder coated in metallic ice white
I wont say how much I paid but I could have brought a brand new set of 15's with tyres for the cost of this lot :cry:
But they do look the shizzle :D :D :D and thats what its about innit lol
Next week is a new steering wheel and rear strut brace to be fitted
-
They look great 8) A set of clear side repeaters would go down awesome now I'd say.
What tyres did you go for?
-
they are a set of nankang hi rating 205/40/17 they cost £125 inc delivery for 4 plus £30 fitting and the difference a complete new set of tyres makes to handling is amazing :D :D
-
in DJ marcopolo white again i see lol. they are the shiz mate
-
Look good, but if I'm honest, not a big fan of powder coating, can't be touched up like paint
-
Noice I like! Get 'er a bit lower now for maximum effect :wink:

I look everyday for coilovers, its down to just under £500 for a set I have found
-
Dont cheap out on them dude. XYZ super sports are built for road cars, myself and Marco can vouch for them being soft enough for everyday use :D
-
I know but I also want new paint all over, fit my bodykit parts and change the exhaust again plus remove all dents thats a couple of grand left to go and this project thread will be finished :D
-
no you cant mate. you cant end this project. it has been a good read if i do say so myself lol. are you going to keep no2 for another project?
-
You say that it will be the end but it won't, just wait till you feel more than 200hp in it :-)
-
No2 will be up for sale soon and all proceeds will be going on a mental paint job, I am even having the equipe logo on the side recreated in another colour to suit the new paint, gotta get the dents done first :wink:
I am now looking at colours, its either going to be a green so I dont have to change the V5 or I just go OEM with the noble greenI was thinking of a british racing green like the MX5's as there isnt one in it but it wouldnt stand out so I quite fancy a candy green of some sort, when I sell equipe no2 for what I want I will be halfway to the paint fund :D :D :D
-
I know that feeling lol. got a fair few dents myself
-
christ expensive paint then lol.
-

£150 cash deal for all dents to be removed by a local dent bloke in a day
Garfy, I know it would be a complete monster when I go over 200bhp but I am quite happy at the moment with it mechanically and feel its a happy monster at the moment :mrgreen:
-

-
