Love the rewards you give yourself :)

 

I also like the fact you ripped out the pornstar beige interior...... after I spent all day installing it....in the cold..... with the previous owner :lol:

 

I did tell him beige was a bit naff and looks skanky when dirty, but he didn't listen!

Haha he should have listened to you! Fair play to him though alot of people liked it against the purple. I just much prefer darker interiors! The rewards were much needed after all the work! She's driving like a beaut though :)

This looks fantastic Pat! Big fan of the Motorsport look myself, and have to say I prefer the dark interior.

 

Good work mate.

Absolutely love that! I had decided on my next set of wheels but seeing them I may have to have another think!

Hi guys I'll dig out the name/ make of them this weekend! I can't remember off the top of my head. Coullstar I bought them off ebay as I'd been after some comp MO's but then saw these and bought them on the spot! Thankyou for the kind words gents! Makes the hours of arch work seem worth it now :)

Really like the look of those bonnet catches, makes the car look hard! LM's are always a good choice, reps or not..

Okay guys need your expert opinions! Having the car off the road for winter I have gone round and noted alllll the paint imperfections/surface rust/ shopping trolley dings etc! I know the condition of the paint and the fact people don't seem to care when they knock a dint in your car was part of the reason the orig owner sold up- so...

 

Paint colours!- I have narrowed my choices down to a few:

 

- Wine red (it's essentially an almost black purple)

- Iron curtain (Kinda battleship grey tbh haha)

- White

 

Now the bit some of you may hate...it'll be in MATTE. The colours are from a street artist colour chart- which I plan on getting mixed in 2k at my local paint shop. Our garage is nearly done so spraying could commence feb time. decision!? (And don't worry, I fully plan on painting it blackberry again in 20 years haha)

Nah I do agree, white would definitely look too old on it I think. I was only thinking the purple so I didn't have to bother changing the V5 colour haha.

 

Orange!? I think it's abit garish for what im wanting! I've just finished spraying a splitty in olive green (albeit gloss) and love the colour, just think it's too old for a rado. Too many colours.... haha

If you're after the battleship look, I could do you a good deal on what we call 'pussers grey' :lol:

 

The wine red sounds very nice actually. That'd certainly be my choice.

I think the dark grey will look good too. Haha ahhhh that orange is really not to my taste...

 

This is the colour:

Matte brings out the lines of a car very well, and I think the lines of the corrado are beautiful so it will be complemented by the matte finish!

Bought myself some new wheels! Some staggered Brock B1's, Rears 10jx17 & fronts 8.5jx17 :)

 

Initial fitment on the rear:

Tyre profile there is 225/45 but I'll be changing to 235/40.

 

tyre stretch anyone? For all the scene kids :bonk:

1 of the rears after all the kurbing was filed out & filled. Just with a quick coat of acid etch.

In need of a full refurb, just sorted one. 3 to go! Abit marmite but I've decided to spray them gloss black. Mainly to stick with my purple & black theme on the car (My fave sweets are blackcurrant liquorices haha). Gave the rado's paint a good going over and realised it's not as bad as I thought so don't want to spray it just yet :) But plenty of areas of paint correction to do!

 

Std 15" speedlines will be up for sale soon to make way for some tyres for the brocks haha. Cheers

Looking good, nice wheel choice. Will need some arch manipulation to fit them under but looks like you've started on them already. What you need is some Brock B2's like this (car look familiar?) Oh and by the way I just might know who has those wheels, that be me :p

I do like that - those wheels in that colour on the blackberry look very nice - what suspension do you have and what size are those wheels -= looks like a really nice stance
