2mp photos of my clean car

[Olly20VT]

I spent 8 hours cleaning my car outside, inside and engine bay, I took some pics but my camera is only a 2 megapixel and it was starting to get dark.







Any feed back welcome as lond as its constructive and not rude

[PhilW]

nice!

Couple of things, is that a polished alternator? Good work if it is.


And wheres your pipe from the DV goin?

 

[Olly20VT]

Yes it is a polished alternator, i borrowed one and took it apart (not easy) had to un wire some of it, then got the cage polished and put it back together and got the local garage to swop them over, that and the TB (needs doing but duno how) are hard to do but are in full view so looks good.

DV goes to "Y" then inlet manifold, works fine.

looks great

Just to add the out side looks standard but i have got a small drivers mirror (same as passengers side) and painted the text on my cupra badges yellow, Collor bump strips, and sprayed the rear lights red but it could have been done better and will be when i get round to doing another set.
Also i need to refurb my wheels and am thinking of doing them in black, whats anyones views on that?

that engine looks spot on, some shiny forge oil/water caps would finish that off nicely! i'll never understand why the ibiza has such a large washer bottle though.

Looks great...you clean the engine bay yourself?

 

[revo]

Nice Biza! What are the seats? Sparco.. but which sparco?

 

[nick-barnes07]

looks mint , u can clean mine for me if u want

 

[rashcupra]

very nice mate i think your strut brace would look much better if it was polished instead of red will go with the colour contrast youve gone for mainly in your engine bay but other than that it looks VERY NICE and clean!


definatly keep the wheels the same colour!

 

[Olly20VT]

Thanks everyone.
The seats are (diver side) sparco Bull carbonfiber which i got second hand off ebay, and passengers is a Sparco evo L which is second hand off Badger 5 they both look very simillar.
I hope to get the forge bottle tops and maybe swop the tanks for forge ones.
I also hope to get rid of the carbon canistar and SAS soon.
Also i agree the strut brace would look good polished just got to get round to it.
I'm trying to make my car part show car/part track car so money and time are split between the two.
Oh and yes i cleaned it all myself lots of elbow grease

lovely car olly, engine bay looks sweet and im loving your wheels!!!

 

[Cupra_Jay]

car looks good mate, love the engine bay. is kinda how i want mine when i get round to it

how easy was it to polish the manifold cover and engine block cover? as i am wanting to do that to mine. hope you no what bits i mean as im not very knowledgable when it comes to engine parts!

 

[Olly20VT]

The inlet manifold I took off then used emery paper and got it smooth then gave it to my locale polisher and he made it shine. the rocker cover I took off then put on a milling machine and took the casting spikes off then again emery and filed it smooth by hand and gave it to the polisher. I have a spare cover that I hope to machine off all unused up stands and fill/smooth all unused threads/taped holes to get a really clean smooth look.

Again thanks for the coments
Olly

Olly, you should ditch the plastic stuff on the fuel rail, clean that bit up.

 

[Olly20VT]

I havent had a look at that bit, i dint think you could ditch it.
I'll do that when i do the carbon can and SAS.
