Just thought I'd add a couple of pics of my new one, Needs a serious amount of cleaning

and the wheels will be getting a refurb too at some point.

But for now...

 

 

 

 

car still hasn't been cleaned and the pics are crap but you get the idea...

Six hours of cleaning and polishing later...

 

 

 

 

Still not happy with it but its way cleaner than it was.

Have a look at OSV's gallery thread, if you want an aspirational silver C look no further.

These pics are making me feel bad..I wanna get my silver rado ship shape again

[Rico 0]

Ha! :D

 

I'm going to order some springs some time in the next week or so, one of the fronts has cracked on the bottom coil.

Going for a 60mm drop I think.

Its already on Bilstein struts so no need to change them as they appear to be in good nick and they're only about 2 yrs old, going by the bills that came in the history folder.

 

Also might be swapping the wheels for these...

 

 

 

Going for a look at the weekend.

how do you go about doing the fully red rear lights?

[Rico 0]

Red tint spray. You'll get it on ebay or in some motor factors.

Don't spray it on too thick though or you'll have red flashing indicators!

[Kempy 0]

seen how on the knowledge base...forgot it was there..cheers. will you do it on your silver rado?

[Rico 0]

Yeah, probably will as soon as I can get a hold of some tint spray.

I'm also going to split the headlights and paint around the edges of the reflectors to get the twin headlight look.

[Kempy 0]

whats the twin headlight look like? any pics

[Rico 0]

Can't find any pics of it done but I did it to my last one.

 

You take the glass off the headlight and paint the very edges of the reflective part.

You can just about see it in my avatar pic.

I'll be doing it at the weekend so I'll take pics as I go but I'm sure someone else will have done already.
