Your Coupé Pictures Comments thread

I have spent quite some time going through the Coupé pictures thread removing the dead links, comments and converting live links into thumbnails. It has taken weeks but hopefully you all now find it much easier to browse the pictures.

If you have comments on any of the pictures could you please place them on this thread and keep the Pictures thread for pictures only.

Thanks

Bob

(agreed, that is one stunning broomie, has it had a full respray, as the yellow is fantastic, looks like a new car)

Thanks for the comments

Its only had a new rear bumper around 3 years ago and an LE kit fitted and sprayed about 2 years ago and thats it

Ben

Your Coop looks ,personally I would have LE centre caps in the alloys instead of the Abarth ones though. Love the black light pods too .

Baz

Truffle

I love the wheels on your 16VT, what are they?

Gareth

Yep, lovely looking banana that, very nicely tweaked externally.

Gareth

I do like the look of that, I never realised that the 16V was available in Ink though

Thanks, done 150 miles today so sadly doesn't look quite as gleaming as that anymore.

Are there not that many 16V examples in ink black? All the more reason to keep it clean then!

I have never seen an Ink Black 16V, I thought they were all solid black.

Early Brochures only show solid Black, so ink black is rare

I suspect it must have been added in 1995, along with Blitz Blue.

I agree with Baz - the Black skirts with the black light pods + black wheels looks nice work!

And another one than just requires some LE centre caps to set it off .

Baz

I think I've just found my new fave Coop! WOW!!!



Must budget for new wheels, must budget for new wheels..........

Mine will look this good, repeat 100 times

Gareth

got to admit that car is pure sex, those wheels really do look good against the colour.

I thought someone had tried to convert a Chavalier into a Coupé when I saw this pic at first .



Baz

how can i put pictures on here guys

Right. adult heads on now, serious question, what wheels are they, I'm assuming they are BBS something?

They look like BBS Le-mans, my mate has a similar set on his G60 golf, im sure he paid something stupid like 2k for them

Oh, they're worth every penny!

best wheels i`ve ever seen on a coup! stunning

I'm having them! Just need the money now!

G

and five stud hubs

Ben

Benny, loving the look of your car

A few more pic's on the in social events under south wales meet Kev

Ben

I'll second that, it's a stunner!

Gareth

I`ll third it!! .

Baz

anyone know the size of these wheels of what they are?
http://fiatcoupe-freunde.com.dedi1327.your-server.de/forum/uploads/post-4-1234984694.jpg

About 10ft with chains?

I'll Fourth it!

Looking good Pete

Nice and clean car neil20vt

Just to confirm, do you have a standard suspension setup on the Coupe?

Thanks Hani. Yep, all standard, why do you ask?

Thanks Neil, I have the PIU bumper installed with lowering Eibach springs (car is lowered by 3cm, front + rear) and I feel the car is really low at its front. Anyhow the car is not ready yet and will see how it drives on our bad roads here

I just wanted to see how the PIU bumper look with the standard suspension setup.

Do you consider any lowering in future?

Possibly. Am worried at ride comfort really so may well leave it as it is. Any pics of yours? It's worth mentioning that black alloys seem to make ride height seem lower and disguise the fact that standard wheels are too small quite well. Otherwise I would probably do suspension and after market wheels.

Neil,

Some pictures are posted in the latest posts in my thread (in my signature). Check your PMs as well

Good pics eldinho... very nice coupe...

Nice pics ninja.

I like how the PIU bumper gives your Coupe a nice beefy look. oh yes.

Baz!

An interesting colour combo there! I'm sure it will grow on me, just a shock at first glance. Full marks for bravery though, some people will NOT approve!

I personally think it looks ok, the more I look at it, the better it looks.

G

Yeah I wasn't sure at first but I saw Sparkyman's Coop with LE front seats and I thought it looked and then the opportunity came for me to get a complete LE interior (the handbrake and gear lever are getting added later ) at an unbelievably cheap price so I thought "what the " and now I it.

I think the LE interior would work well with a yellow Coop too IMHO,anybody got any pics of that?

Baz

Very nice Baz

You're right, the red interior would go with all non-metallic colour Coupes.

Now if I were you I would add a splash of red to the exterior too- red Fiat badge, red Brembos and red Pininfirina badges.

Car is looking mint Baz

It would look superb in a Banana coop, that I would like to see! I always thought there should have been a Banana LE, as well as a white one!

Gareth

Nah I don't want to go too over the top . I'll be keeping my Brembos silver as I think I've got just enough red on the disc hubs and centre caps to keep the outside styling relevant to the interior. The only other styling mod that I'm considering is painting the light pods gloss black as I fancy going for an LE+ hybrid type of look .

Thanks for the comment folks .

Baz

Iam on yourside Baz

Looks great Baz!!

i got some pics for you guys i have them on phtobucket but dont know how to add them to this site

Just below the photos in Photobucket, you'll see the "Direct Link" option, copy it and:

1- post in the thread

or

2- post is as a link and give it a name

or

3- post is as a media tag

http://s758.photobucket.com/albums/xx229/burbum123/?action=view&current=Picture119.jpg

i think i have done it could you check if you can view these or not and how many can you see thanks

Yeah we can view it. Nice looking car mate

This thread is for comments only. You need to post photos in the other thread with this subject "Your Coupé Pictures (Pictures Only Please)" in the Styling forum though

Anthrax, looks lovely.

How much did the respray cost. I need mine done at sometime in the future as have lots of little dings and scraps.

@ Pretender: What wheels are these?

Tenzo R Type M 17''

Thanks Tony,it cost me £1050+200 paint for full respray.
For that price it was complitely debaged , and le bodykit fitted , mirrows , b-pillars , door handels been sprayed in satin black so i cant moan really

Saying that the bodywork isn't perfect , the problem is you have to watch them and point at every single bit , they've nearly sprayed my b-pillars in diamond black , it's good i've turned up for a check

I quite like this

Indeed Bob, that looks good!

i posted some pics of mine too.

@shoreyda2nd,Nice colour match, I love the tan leather!
@Anthrax-> engine out as well?
@Norway20vt nice wheels!

Martijn - everything in the engine bay has been taken off , including brake pipes and wiring.

Looking good Martijn

Thanks!
I am undecided wether to place side-skirts and lips or not. Just the fitting and painting seems a hassle.
Hope to meet you this year at Spa, and see your green-mean-machine live!

Auto DS offer pre painted items which are a very good match.... Worth considering.

carbonara's blue coupe is best ive seen, gorgeous

thanks mate...

Anyone know what the wheels are on Bobs - Bob, do you know?

Porsche replica wheels.

very nice car and photos sonic.

what camera did you use? what time was the photo taken? and what editing did you do?

Canon EOS 40D with wideangle lens (sigma), taken at about 4pm as the sun was starting to set. photos put into Photomatrix pro to combine the images at different exposures to create the HDR images. Then tidied up in photoshop.

They look fantastic mate ,pity they're too late for the calendar .

Baz

Nice car Bambi, altho some small details wouldnt have been my choice, you deff. personalised the car your way

Do you visit coupe-fiat.nl as well?

Martijn

Hello Martijn,

Yes I am on the Dutch forum as well.Luckily we all have different tastes otherwise the world would be quiet boring.
We should have a minimeet one day?

Arthur

Bambi, Love the exhaust- what is it? tidy engine bay too.
You have an arm rest! did you fit that yourself?

Hi Sonic,
The exhaust is ss and was especially made for me by EPS in Holland.
Yes you won't find many armrests in a coupe, haha.
It was simply taken from a Fiat Stilo and only a little bit of work!

Deffinately true on the boring world side Arthur!!

Like i said, the car looks stunning and you personalised it your way, which is fine - you paid for your car The Armrest also looks good, do you perhaps have a picture of it when it folds down? How did you mount it?

i do find cheap alternatives on ebay or marktplaats (dutch ebay) but im afraid that they will just look cheap.

As for the minimeet-> We should setup something, i tried to do this for Auto Italia @ Houten, but 500 views and 3 reactions later i decided to call it off.

Bambi - I'm also interested in more info on the Stilo armrest.

Hi Martijn and Per,

I have attached some pics of the armrest on the "pictures only site".
I t was done several years ago and I recall that it wasn't too much work except for some slight alterations.The downward mode has 2 positions, which do not conflict with the handbrake.
Martijn with regard to the minimeet let's wait till I have solved my boostproblem.
Setting up a meeting is sometimes a hassle but I guess that's just the way it is.

Thanks, I hoped for some pics of the mount?

TECHNICS thats a beauty. loving the azev C's!

@ Bambi i have a clutch problem currently... slips in 3rd and 4th, so i cant really give any ooommphh...

Where are you from in Holland? And thanks for the info on the arm rest, but like Per i also would like to see pics of the mount. (bevestiging)

Hi Martijn, sorry to hear about the clutch problem. It looks like you will need a new clutch?
Remember you were interested in my wheels? I live in Enschede.
I'll do my best to make a picture of the mount probably by the next week. Enjoy the weekend!

Ahh... Now i remember!!

Yeah your wheels looked real well, i bought different ones tho (the abarth essessee) because i could get them for less than the retail price of the tyres. (bridgestone potenza's).

I do need a new clutch indeed, pricey but logic with 131k i guess.

Anyways back on topic: did you have perhaps have any pics of the mount? Has it been screwed on?
I guess that my 16vt midconsole is different, tho.

Great looking car there Mawv, I'm liking the gold calipers

agreed - the gold looks excellent with the green, and when the green is clean and polished up it's got a stunning array of colours including gold...

Guys check out my custom made bumper i hope you all like it i had an idea on my head so i just made that from the orignal one modified

Cool, kind of the same idea as I had. Just a little less effort to it.

Yellowfella; very classy!
You rarely see such a clean Coupe these days (when most people seem to have a mass-deal with AutoDS - nothing wrong with AutoDS tho).

Thanks Per. I really prefer the original black sills (esp on a yella coop): IMO makes the car look longer and sleeker. Can look a bit bulbous kitted up and the std wheels look too small.

Agree fully.
(hence why I had to buy expensive 18-inches..)

Gold_QP, arrr Interesting Project, looks like a lot of work put in there aarr.
Is it your everyday car me hearty?
No Parrot?

I can feel my timbers shivering

Ohoy and a bottle of rom!! No drunk driving!!

I'd have to be drunk to drive it !

Oh dear ,oh dear....I think you can still be keel hauled for piracy like this.

I haven;t got anything nice to say about the pirate coupe, so I won't.

But send all that Gold into cash4gold.com and it'll make a small fortune! ;-)

Hello no it isnt my all day car i have e fiat cinquecento turbo for go to work!

and excuse me for my english it isnt very good im from switzerland :-D

Ninja - i love your car!!!

the wheels look brilliant, the body kit is also lovely!! good work mate!!

lovely example, burgandy is one of my favourite coupe colours

Thanks, just a few more finishing touches to be made

Ninja

PIRATE COOP!

Nice!!!!!!!!!!! That black car with the gold bits I noticed, what is it?

Thanks for doing that!

Ok, I understand about the image popper now.

I've changed the wheels since I took these, well sort off. They're still the same style (Team Dynamics Jet 100+), but I've gone back down to 15's as the ride was a little 'harsh'. I did wonder about people's thoughts on these rims, but so far I've had positive feedback, although now I've changed them, I think they look a little better as there's a little less rim, and I little more rubber - it looks a bit more balanced. I think they suit the car quite nicely! (They look white-ish in the pics, but that's just the sun - they're actually just 'normal' alloy colour) Oh, no more text - it's supposed to be pics only!!

Just added some photos of my new baby but its not dsplaying the image but only the link. What am i doing wrong?

Ah that looks like my old stomping ground in Poets Corner. Am I right??

4 wheels every time btw

Interesting front badge 20Tsi - I don't think I've seen one of those on a Coupe before. It says "Fiat and proud of it!"

Great pictures Spee!

Really like the 4th one.

Thanks very much mikeyc unfortunately I can't take credit was already fitted to the car when I purchased it!!

But have been toying with the idea of the new red fiat badge think the blue one looks nearly as old as the original

Loving it alexjames.

White and black, just stunning!

Looks like I will have to try harder...... No comments

have you others pics please ? size of yours tires ?

thanks

Barmybob, stunning pictures!

My favourite



Very dramatic. This music comes to mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDsffEtoF9A

Cheers Glad someone noticed them.....

If the weather holds I will hope to take some more this week.

Hi Bob,
Didn't know you had it in you.
Love this one, great composition.
Young Metalhead will be proud of you

That one was set up so that it could be my PS3 backdrop

Used to do a bit of photography in the old days, thought it was time to have another play at it. I need to find a location this week, not sure what kind of backdrop will suit a dark Green Coupé though

Audley End House Bob.In Front of it.I think permission is easy enough.

I had a quick look there today Joe, not easy to position the Coupe really

I'll have a better look tomorrow if the weather cheers up again...... watch this space

barmybob i have to say i love the shots you have there great overall look great photography! quality shows!
oh forgot to mention my 4th coupe is the very first porto in the pics thread! ruspers old car which gringo jimi spent a fortune on before him!!
probably on 10th owner now!

I always wondered what happened to Jim's old car. Good to hear it is still here

Next year's calendar...

You just have to get some quality pictures taken of this car. It is fantastic to see one of the few Special edition 1.8 16V plus models.

Rarest Coupé on the forum? I would say so

Quality pictures are being arranged! Kayjey will be taking them when he can dream up a suitable location.
In the meanwhile, I will be thinking of ways to hide the abuse she has suffered from her drivers..

Nothing a bit of Photoshop can't fix.

Your car looks stunning.

It's great to see the beautiful straight sill line.
So brave not to follow the well trodden(almost obligatory) body kit road when enhancing your coupes looks.

I salute you

I know the mods may kick off but if you have a look in the for sale section I have a set of similar wheels for sale.

Sure, here's both pics and templates for you to use (plastic or aluminium).

http://www.fiatklubben.nu/depa/index.php?sub=viewcar&car_no=321

The rest will always be a little trial/error but mainly:

1. Cut the middle part of the bumper lip
2. Bolt/screw the left fin to the exaust heat shield and the undertray.
3. Screw the right fin to the undertray and glue the front end to the tank.
4. Screw the middle fins to the undertray. Selfdrilling stainlees screws are easiest/best.

Thanks , nice simple idea :-)

Boostmeup pic's,

Wheels definitely make any car.

I'd run any set of the 3 on the cars you've posted, especially the Porsche Replica's! V.nice

Pinin, yours is looking good at the petrol station mate. Well cool (even though it's not blue ) Looks great

Indeed Pinin, splendid!

Big up the V Power Posse!

Thanks guys

Although it's the first time I haven't filled up with Vpower in months. Got a lot of lifts to places coming up so I went for saving a few pennies

Pinin your coupe looks great but John Craven is filling his golf up behind you

Good spot! Does look an awful lot like him

I thought it was Nigel

Ha ha!

Separated at birth ?

Kayjay:
nice collection of pics, of a nice Plus.. Great photo's!

(I just feel sorry for the truly horrible Belgian housings.. (it's the same situation in Aalst where my sister lives..))

Yeah - backdrop is one of the 'lesser' streets here in our town. Your sister lives in Aalst! You never come to visit her I guess, otherwise you would have popped by, no?

Lovely car keyjey and lovely pictures too One of the nicest I've seen in a long time. Looks brand new! (shame about those headlight washers )

Nice car and pics Kayjey.

My favourites:

I have, latest this summer before the SpaItalia but it was really stressed.. Then again I probably wouldn't have thought about it.. That's my social skills I suppose.
Next time though!


Headlight washers rock.

Nice collection of pics, of a nice Plus.. Great photo's. I really enjoyed looking at them

Looks fantastic KJ, nice pics too. Really starting to miss it now

Finally finished my styling the way I envisaged oit when I bought the car. Includes a styled rear diffuser. [imgpop]http://s930.photobucket.com/albums/ad142/raspy57/

Kayjay what head unit have you got in your coop?

Good pics mate, what wheels are they look good, go great with the cuts in the body.

Hi mate which coupe are you asking about

Ok I think that's me?
thanks in that case, they are Liquidmetal Static, 18x7.5".

They really do go great with the Coupe's design, they look like factory 18" which was what I wanted.
Found them at www.discounttiredirect.com

Obviously they've never heard of Fiat Coupe over there so I had to order for Honda Civic (PCD 4x100mm)...

Cheers for the info will be getting some pics up of mine later today.

Pure and simple - no additives

That looks very very nice Duffy. Fair play to you.

Yep nice Duffy - is that an Auto Italia of (now gone) Coventry Dealer sticker I see?

Thanks for the comments.



Yep a Leamington Spa car.

Singfreid, your car looks fantastic. Those photos are excellent

My coop

http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd373/hoban81/cleancoupe.jpg

Great location. I hope that's a trick of the light or do you have a multi shade of broom yellow coop?!

Nice clean Coupe there, Smetnbe!

Thanks Per

James5 that looks mean

its a hdr photo, sometimes makes an strange light

Cheers! I'm going for a Stealth fighter/ Darth Vader/ ninja kinda vibe.

Lovin' that last one Sirgfreid

EDz, looks fantastic.

Did you need to do a photoshop how to guide on how you make photos look so amazing!

Im good with design stuff in photoshop but havent got a clue about photo touch up and filters etc

Literally Mario, I did the whole shot on my iPhone with a Photoshop Express app then whacked it on Photobucket and hosted it.

Thanks though, I love the car and that pic to pieces!

Lots of lovely pics on this page, Edz, Per, and Nismo being my faves, but like I said originally lots of really nice coop and pics on this page in general.

This is the one we've been waiting 20 years for everyone

Cool photo Chris

That looks like one stoned happy coop!

injekciona - make sure to save these for next year's calendar!

I'm glad you like the photos of my car. But in the forum there are so much better looking coupes for the calendar. My car needs a lot more exterior work to be in the best shape Soon I'm gonna upload the rest of the photos from the session.

Per - you coupe is looking stunning as always

thanks!
What serial number is yours btw..?

My car's VIN number is ZFA175000P0055301

@Technics. I was never a fan of those wheels but they look ace on your silver. Boss wheels

I have to say that colour and those wheels in 18" is the best combo. Seen them wheels on other colours before and lovely colours too, ie, electric blue, sprint blue, but never as nice. And I'm not being biassed.

No idea how to get pics off my phone onto here anyone possibly help?

think you will need a photobucket account or something similar,even then i struggled,dont think you can do it straight from your phone but im sure someone will correct me on that.

Thanks i just find this forum harder to do things on than usual. Selling something was unfathumable also.

You need to upload your photos to a hosting site such as photobucket. Then copy the direct link to the image, open the full screen reply, open the imagepop icon (the one that looks like a tv screen) and paste the link in.

Cheers trying that now

Beautiful looking car Troy

Oh thanks for that. Im still struggling with the pics cant make them pop up!

Working fine for me Troy, looks , zender kits rule!

Cheers yours looks epic in black with the kit and wheels real mean! Im just after a honeycomb grill now i sold one for bugger all a couple of years ago aswell.

Scuderia! You've made it here!
Nice pics.. (though I've seen them before)
It's a clean 16VT!

Per (Argentaperra on turbo124)

Your car looks superb Adam ....

Cheers matey! 

I cleaned it inside and out over the last few days. Had a play with my new toy, snow foam makes a proper mess of the driveway, takes ages to go away, but good fun all the same.

A decent polish with the SRP made it look great in the sun this weekend. I couldn't be bothered with claying it and a full seal due to a bad back so I guess I'll do it all over again in a few weeks before the summer comes.

Looking great there, ginge

Looks

Has come up a treat, I'm sooo jealous, I want one!

GWAR and T, comments here and you should know better

Isn't this the comments thread?

It is, but you had posted in the picture thread

Ah ok, sorry

Hi, small world as usual. I have been on here more than a few years now. Coupes are not easy to find in Australia!

JackMoo what are those vents in the rear wings

Have you got any more photos?

Hi, My 16VT Coupe is with me for nearly 12 years, I sent my car to respray four months ago, and I just received my car last month.

Attached with pics after paint job done, and also carbon fiber look meters with chrome dial rings.

Broombeastie, what an amazing job you have done there!

I'll second that, awesome

Cheers, it's taken me ages but I'm so glad it's all back together and driving!! I'd forgotten what a great car she is!!

Now that looks cool as anything, love the original wheels in black and the immaculate engine bay..nicely done!

Broombeastie thats a hell of a good job you have done there! It looks brand new! That's what every old coop deserves. Where did you get a new radiotor tank? cheers from Sweden

Thanks! All the good feedback makes me happy, especially after all the cursing, shredded knuckles and what seemed like a lifetime of prep and wet flating!!

I bought the new header tank from power Italia just a few months before it came off the road in 2010 I think, shortly after that they became impossible to get hold of I believe due to fiat only making so many.

Broombeastie,
congrats, very tidy and neat!
She is the best yellow coop i have ever seen!
regards from Holland.

Arthur

Nino - Coupe looks nice but the pictures are far too small

Mickey - Nice pics, A couple of nasty dents though? Get 'em sorted if you can

Thanks,.yeah theres a few but nothing major. I did have a boot and twin exhaust on order BUT water leak apeared so they're going to have to wait.. Just a boot and bonnet will be fine really. The dents on the body/door should be able to pop out.

Yeah that's why I mentioned it, they look an easy fix like they'd pop out no problem.

@ Freddan...... I thought my car looked good in Electric Blue, yours looks amazing with the Azev C's on it!!!

Nick

Thanks!

Your car is not too bad either

Per,your Coupe looks stunning,I love your subtle bootlid lip spoiler,where can I get one like yours?
Your rear LED lights look really cool as well,lovely example mate!

Cheers Crawfy!

at the end there will be more Drop:))))
home made shift knob:D

thanks!!
That spoiler is a universal BMW M5 spoiler bought off ebay, then cut in 3, sanded, painted.
The LED's are originally from a GB by Jonboy83 on here, just a veeeery long story to get worked properly... Will make the story on here some day!

Car looks superb Per, some subtle, well thought out mods, good work!

thanks, I appriciate it!

Love the sprinty blue console. Any how to tips?????? Gary

Lovely looking car there matey - either option is better than the black bits in my opinion, but skirts look classier to me.

almost all car painted:) and renewed lenso maxis:)

Looks great Alex

Cheers Nello!!

We've got the best colour by far!!

@nick_d: So fresh, so nice!!!
And 368 bhp!! How the h*ll did you get so much??

Thanks buddy!!
368 was achieved down to Fleas perciverance and my Wallet... Lol !
Not bad for little old 16vt!!
Car still needs loads of work, body work wise, it just looks good from a few angles..

Love the Steel Grey LE '20vt_alex'. It looks mint.

Looking good pegasus. May I suggest a little lowering - circa 30mm?

Its tempting but I'm going to let this one be as original as possible.

Your pics are only showing in miniature for me..

Hi, sorry about that, just conscious of the upload limit. I have added links to my Flickr account where the images are embedded. Looks like I may need to set up a photo bucket account for ease of use though.

Like the new track wheels nismo!

cheers Pete

I too like the wheels nismo and the car
Where did you get your window wind deflectors from ?

Off eBay made by climair in Germany. Was sick and tired of getting a wet arm when the window was only a inch open .

Thanks nismo same problem with me i now have gills on my arm

@iwantcandy that's my old Porto you had there R481UBT, you may have bought it from me? loved that car!

hi jasgol bought that porto in 2009 it had lots of history lots of upgrades momo wheels but suspension too crashy for rds in wales at time! i literally drove it half a mile after buying and aux belt snapped! i then had to leave it on sellers drive till it was arranged to be collected and dropped back at mine following day.. then had new belt fitted. used it for a few months but my then partner and i split so then sold to a young couple from donnington i think
i know the guy had a highly tuned celica i think and the coupe was for his partner.. was a very long drive for them i know that! was wondering if its still in use t.b.h

Looking good Ronnie

Have you had the wheels refurbed? I don't remember them being as dark, really suit the car now.

You must "NOT" sell!

Hope your well mate.

loving the sprinty sparkyman! nice mods one to keep me thinks!!

Nismo,sparky man,and f1ang your cars are awsome!

F1ang think you should keep the plus wheels for winter,I think your standard wheels look so much better!

Sparky you should keep the coupe!

Freddan72 your car is one of my top favourites amazing!

Cheers for the comments guys

Great job Angelo on your porty inside and out, looks better every time! And those seats are they just elbow grease or did you get them redone?

Ronnie how could you even contemplate it?? I know, we've all done it...then reason kicks back in. The rear bumper is a beautiful job, really good lines, also are the mirrors grey and coded in with anything else? I see the seats, is it an LE?

Angelo ( F1 ANG ) your coupe is looking superb.

Tell your dad and sophia I was asking for them.

Catcha soon mate

Ps.

I liked the wheels more when they were silver but was advised by a least three styling guru's to match them with the rest of the grey parts, still think they look bigger when in silver

I sold it in 2002, I only had it a couple of years after getting a dealer in Exeter to find one for me (they brought it across from Germany) it was lowered with the Momos on when I got it, and yes it was a crashy ride but it had a mental 3rd gear! I know Rusper on here had it, it's the very first post on the 'your coupe pictures' thread….alas I think it's probably down the scrappies by now RIP.
it's funny how you get excited when you see photos of your old car…..or is it just me

Just feel it's keeping me back and still costing me money and space.

Thanks for the comments Simon.

The side mirrors , front plus grill , rear bumper diffuser/valance , rear light cups , hubby rear brace , front lights , bottom part of front bumper and wheels are all grey (sparkly up close) may have missed something, pretty sure the only thing I left alone was the fuel cap because I love that.

Just Le seats Simon, I had a plan to do the middle section grey to match the rest, then thought enough is enough, I've also had 5 different style front bumpers fitted at one time or another..

I know it's not one for the purists but hopefully not to far out there.

Thanks for the comments guys

Thanks simon, the seats haven't being redone, they just came up really well, after a few treatments. I try to clean/condition them once a month. Seems to keep them looking good

Thanks Ronnie. I'll pass the message on

No you definitely made the right choice. They do look bigger in silver, but IMO much better colour coded. Thats exactly how they'd be if it was my car anyway.

No doubt see you soon mate

Sparkyman: Contemplating on selling???? Wheres my cane ...
Seriously mate...maybe you need to be reminded of the good ol' times with these pics..stunning sprinty..



P.S. Sparkyman is the fat one on the left

Brilliant pics Kelv, keep this up

Haha great pics kelv.

Cheers mate

Thanks!!

Pretty new to the forum so thought id stick few pics up. Hopefully add few better pics once the sun is out which is a rare occurrence in Manchester.

^ That is a great colour, maybe a little garish for the Coupe but works with the darker alloys.

was a bit unsure about the colour when I bought the car but like to be a bit different. I agree on the alloys considering doing them black or getting team dynamic pro race 1.2 to change it up

Mines been in storage since 09 but I'll see it again in Oct so hoping it still looks like this. Maybe with a layer of dust under the covers.....

Omg.

Just a layer of dust !

Is that in the UK or WA?

UK, unfortunately. Did you bring yours down under the Personal import scheme, or buy from someone in Aus? I would have / should have brought mine down but I never thought i'd be down here that long. Definitely a consideration for the future.

My coupe since 1998 ...

Very nice

It is very nice but there is something wrong….no holes for number plates, tyres about an inch thick, not a *speck* of dirt.
Great image diezl, how did you do it?!

step 1: car detailing
step 2: find good location
step 3: good photography
step 4: photoshop

that's how I did it
thanks for the comments

Really like these 2 pics, good enough for a poster

Some more pictures of my coupe.

Mmm chrono

Who's is this?

The answer is in the poster!

oooo, he's resprayed a normal coupe ( ) to crono! Imposter!

Yep just another normal LE in crono

Bloody good, how do you get your paint so shiny? its like a mirror. Its a blitz blue right?

Wow injekciona, it looks great. Nice pics..
And nice to see some more Delta HPE seats!

I really feel stupid now...but i can´t find the pic manager anywhere on the full reply scrren. did like it said in the F.A.Q but no icon anywhere

Switch to Full Reply screen where the forth icon along (which looks like a tv) pops up with an Image popper.
Paste your pic (say via photobucket) to there and it should download.
You can check on the preview page.
Hope this helps.
Brilly

thanks alot for the help giving it a try

i did it...yeeey

now my little devil got a place here also

Thanks for the kind words. In my opinion the Lacia HPE Recaros are the best seats that you can have in a coupe.I prefer them to LE or Plus Recaros for their combination of leather and alcantara.

Could someone move the post..?

Now that's a cool shot

All cleaned and on the road again after front mount to gear box snapped the bolts.

I nearly bought this twice, but the previous sellers were sooooooo vague, I bailed on cambelt history etc, whats the issues? the wheels are nice imo, PX for std ones ?

The guy I bought it off had only had it 2 weeks!
It has a lot of history from FCSS and had a recon head fitted in 2009 so the belts are due on age next year.
Its had some paint but is ok for the money I paid.
Wheels are growing on me but need wider rubber, maybe 225/40's.
First job is to get the t-stat done and investigate a clonk on the front.

Hey where can I buy this led lights? Look mint?

This is my coop,

Wow loving the black one with this wheels!!

Stunning photos Diezl
