Robevan5 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Who the hell puts grey matts in a car?! It took me ages to bring these puppys back! The bodywork is really clean with not one spot of rust! Not bad for a 03! The same owner had it for the past 10 years to. Not sure if i like the schnitzer wheels though... I claybared the body, buffed with 3m black top, then 3m yellow top and profected it with a couple of coats of super guard, i also put the carpet superguard on the matts when they were finally clean! mjn, Schumacher, Michael Lam and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robevan5 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I hate grey matts i have to hoover the 3 times a week! Does not do my "keep car clean OCD" any favours! Thanks guys, should have taken before and after really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz 330 Cs Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I had exactly the same mats in mine when i got it, replaced them straight away with a set of genuine black items as it's just not possible to keep them clean Good work there, looking great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Super clean! It's low mileage too for a 10 year old car :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneth1986 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 That looks very tidy. Can't see a mark on the interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robevan5 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 It is spoless I paid the local PDR tech to remove all the dents from the bodywork, i think there was 4 small dings. The rear bumper has had a poor paintjob in the past so getting that painted is the next job! When i stop being lazy! Haha Also im looking for a tv/nav unit for it and some decent tyres, maybe recon the vanos? Apart from the cleaning iv fitted new disks, new calipers, changed the gearbox sump (gone pourus and was leaking!) with filter, fluid and a reprogram. Car drives good now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkie7 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Super clean and low miles. Shame it's got the wrong gearbox. Should get away with black mats, plenty of other black trim around to match up to. Like the wheels, I would keep them. What tyres have you got and what do you want to get? Vreds get my vote.

Robevan5 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hey guys. I pulled the the bumper off today to paint it at work, hope the Standox std shade matches! I have no idea what tyres to buy it has budget tyres on with one Dunlop?! I'll change both rears first. Any more tyre recommendations? Plans wise I just want it super clean. My mate wants me to fit a 6speed and supercharger but I'm done with wasting thousands on cars now! How my car looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robevan5 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Thank you, i went for 255/35/18 falken, still cost me a arm and a leg! Haha The bumper colour is a tiny bit off in some lights, not so much that i can be bothered painting it again though! Saying that... The standard side skirts are off colour from the factory anyway!

s77ygg Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thank you, i went for 225/35/18 falken, still cost me a arm and a leg! Haha The bumper colour is a tiny bit off in some lights, not so much that i can be bothered painting it again though! Saying that... The standard side skirts are off colour from the factory anyway! The colour is off due to the 2 different materials, it will always be a touch lighter or darker from metal to plastic. I have tried all the different paints standox, max Meyers, ICI and water base you always get the same result mate. Robevan5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
