[LEE69]

Do this car justice and use a bloody good camera please.

 

[Ape]

What Lee said

Stunning car though Mike. Bet you're well chuffed! I would be!

 

[Mike R]

Haha i need to buy a good camera and stop using my phone, once the coilovers are on ill get good pictures, and 2 doors and a rear quarter need repainting still..

 

[t0m]

The coilovers will make the car! LCR's look 1000 times better when given that drop!

Which one's did you go for?

 

[Mike R]

Yeah im hoping so, Im losing a lot of love for it at the moment and dont really know why . ..

Ive got Ap's arriving this week and will fit them the night they turn up hopefully

You will love it, believe me I fell in love with the look of mine when it was dropped. I want to get the back a bit further down but the front is just right

I'm running the AP's here for 7 months now and been spot on since then. Dan has just fitted his, you can see they go low! ENJOY!!

 

[Mike R]

Yeh im hoping i will . . And yeh i want to go as low as i can, but the fronts are already low and dont wanna be scraping my sump eveywhere lol, the back will go right down and adjuster out

Haha, get it on it's behind

Looking forward to the pics once fitted!

Awesome, I didn't think I was going to like the smoothing (I usually think it looks too "cheap bodykit" to look nice) but it looks great on your car and with the white too. Ape used the right word IMO, "stunning".

 

[Mike R]

Thanks .. i started havin 2nd thoughts myself when half way through it but its turned out good

List of things to get done..

Re-paint 2 door fronts and rear quarter
Flat and polish rest of the car
fit coilovers
Make up some carbon fibre film door sill bits as i removed the standard black bits when it was sprayed
And order new weatherproof strips for doors and other bits of rubber trim that are old and frail.

Then its on to the Interior

 

[Murdered LCR]

Hope your going to slam it lol

 

[tyrer]

Looks quality mate, WELL DONE FOR THE HARD WORK!!!

Agree with the camera comments.... Ill be taking lots at U'Dubs

Little bits I would do if this machine was mine -

Behind the fog light grills paint gloss black darken it up.
Chrome surround on the front grill gloss black.
OEM Aero wiper arms.

Cant comment on the back yet though.

Again well done for having the balls to smooth handles etc etc. Looks quality and I cant wait for it dropped!

P.S. Wheels are an inspired choice.

 

[Mike R]

Yes Dan itll be goin as low as i can

Yep behind the grills are going black and the back and front badges are going black too,
New wipers are on the cards as well dont you worry

As i said its not finished, still needs some things and tidying up, its just having the time to fit everythin in at the mo, i doubt itll be looking pukka for UD but oh well, im there to look at the truely nice cars

 

[tyrer]

Mate you have a truly awesome car! It will be alot better than alot there at UD's

 

[Mike R]

It wont be a touch on some things there, but then again this is used daily, rain, snow or sun, Im 22 and dont have the money these companys put in to there demo cars etc.. It gets me by
