VR6 0 Posted March 5, 2003 Looking very nice Dan! Wasn't too sold on silver on the C but I think yours is a very nice colour indeed! Any other mods? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan 0 Posted March 5, 2003 I've done a few bits'n'pieces like painted the back number plate surround and messed about with the rear light cluster. I put on clear side repeaters and of course the TT wheels (which I'm not keen on now). I'm looking for a set of Azev C's eventually. Almost forgot the koni coilovers. I haven't modded the engine yet. Living in Ireland, its hard to get tunners like AMD, etc. And I haven't heard of any rolling roads in Ireland either :) . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted March 5, 2003 Dan, Hasn't your C been featured in an article in the Sprinter? It certainly looks very familar.. as does the number plate :) Very nice btw :) :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 0 Posted March 6, 2003 Kinda reminds me of a vauxhall callibre.......not sure why tho! lol Think they look good though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan 0 Posted March 6, 2003 Kinda reminds me of a vauxhall callibre.......not sure why tho! lol I see what you mean about the Callibra :) . Its probably cause the picture quality is so c***p. (I hope). Now, I don't want anybody saying 'they look good' just to be nice. Like I said its only stuck on & totally reversable so I want honesty here guys :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banana Man 0 Posted March 6, 2003 I think you should leave it how it is Dan it adds a bit of individuality to the back end which can only be a good thing! :D P.s wheres the exhaust tailpipe you can't see it in the picture!! :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 0 Posted March 6, 2003 Think you can Ant - is it just dirty? :shock: hehe I think it looks quite individual (not that the C is a very common car to start with!) and think it looks ok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
too hot 0 Posted March 6, 2003 dan, Sorry mate in my opinion they look sh*** :!: I would stick with the tinted rear lights,they still look cool 8) Like the painted number plate surround too. How long did it take to polish up the manifold :?: Really tidy looking car :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan 0 Posted March 6, 2003 I think your right too hot, It took me about five hours on and off over a one week period to sand the manifold. I used wet'n'dry sandpaper and elbow grease to do mine, gradually getting finer. I'd recommend getting a DIY detail sander (much easier on the nerves). I was happy enough with the finish the sandpaper gave but, one day while walking through a hardware shop I spotted a tube of aluminium polish. It comes in a tube (like toothpaste), is easy to apply and brings a real shine to the manifold. I honestly have not touched mine since last Summer and it is still fairly bright (see picture) Its a mod that costs very little and if you get fed up doing it you can just close the bonnet and drive off. :D HTH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arefin76 0 Posted March 7, 2003 dan, Nice motor mate !! thumbs up from me ! As for the rear lenses !! they are different, and their not bad looking, so stick with it. I was going to ask, when polishing the manifold, did u take it all apart or just with the bonnet up !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi arefin76, thanks for your comments 8) I just sanded & polished what you can see of the manifold with thr bonnet up. I got a couple off knocks on the knuckles when doing the curved bit at the front (arround the dipstick etc.). As for the oil cooler, I did the top and, the front side you can see with the bonnet open. As for the rear lenses, I think I'll put on the 'crystal' vinyl film (in-pro style) and then put a tint over it. I'm going to do this tommorow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted April 2, 2003 Nice one Dan, Satin Silver is a very rare colour especially on a VR6, I hunted long & hard for mine. The plate has changed now to 'K1 CPW' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Campaign 0 Posted April 2, 2003 Dan - NO! Others: - Dan did a little feature on his car for the Sprinter last summer, and also appeared with Ian on his little trip to the fair isle. Must say, Dan I've put your picture from the one in the Sprinter and put it up on my wall at work, on the nicest Corrado photos I've seen.... however... looks like you need a new digital camera mate ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
