Cheers Tris. I'm glad i got them done as i was unsure.

Look sweet mate!whats coulor of the wheels

They are BMW Steel Grey. MDS had his wheels painted this colour on his Silver Leon and i really liked it.

You already know what i think of them dude suit the car so much better in that colour i reckon

Cleaning seesion for both mk2's tomorrow

 

[Martin M]

Cheers mate.

I'm well up for a cleaning session. Might even give her a polish if weather permits!

Workshop with heater dude polishing isn't a problem and Jay stocked up on milk and teabags today

Cars looking good, didnt realise the door cards fit straight in

Finally got her cleaned at the weekend (although she's dirty again already) and got some pictures in before it rained!

I'm much happier with the overall looks of the car now. Still needs a bit of work but it's getting there

 

[rich.h44]

Nice pics!

 

[Ibiza125]

Love the car buddy. Wheels really do look great!!

I like the last pic

Got a few bits on order today to try and tidy up the engine bay.

The plan is to re-route the intercooler pipework around the side of the engine where there's loads of space, then i'll work the catch tank around that.

Got some bits going in for powder coating next week too!

 

[rich.h44]

Sweet,re routeing pipe work sounds like fun!

Update:

Today the car got another clean (that's now two weekends in a row!!!) and i started sorting bits out in the engine bay.

The main aim is to neaten things up a bit. I ordered a battery cover (hopefully should be here tomorrow) so i relocated the fuse box from the top of the battery.
Injector wiring has now been tucked away, and i bolted on another rocker cover as mine goes in for painting tomorrow! Also fitted the correct bung for the washer bottle.

The result:

Still got so much more to do!

Hopefully the intercooler pipework will be here within the next few days so i can start figuring that out.

Im liking the hidden fuse box mate, another idea i may borrow at some point

Intercooler pipework and the painting should tidy it all up a treat, remember it's a track car tho not a show and shiner

 

[Martin M]

Fuse box still needs some work. I might take it all out and re-do it anyway as the battery tray needs a paint and it'll be easier to fit the intercooler pipework when it arrives.

It'll never be a show and shiner!

 

[roly]

Good good, we'll get them both out on track sometime this year, we'll just have to take twice as many spares

[Martin M]

Can't wait to take it on track!

Love that picture of your engine Stu, that's what gave me the idea for getting mine painted!

 

[Martin M]

I took the rocker cover to get powder coated this morning so hopefully should have it back next week.

Started to strip the paint off or the inlet manifold and polish it too. It's going to take some time but hopefully it will be worth it in the end
