Patch's - Silver dream machine project - 18/06/2010 08:28
Okay, here's the start of my next project. Unusually, this one is starting with a mint example (makes a nice change)
I'll list below my initial plans, it will be interesting to see how much the plans change over the coming months
Car - Silver 1998 'S reg' 20VT LE
Mileage - 68,000
Project
(a) Put on full body kit
Originally, I wanted to put on the Italian PIU front bmper, having costed this out, it seems to get one over to me (not colour matched) it will cost £389.57, as I say, this is before fitting and paint.
I have also costed out the AutoDS PIU front bumper, zender skirts and rear bumper skirt and this comes in at £373.00 before fitting and painting.
(b) Change wheels - decided against the stilo blades now
(c) Fit Recaro interior
I have already purchased some sliding and reclining Recaro's in black and silver. I will be taking out the LE interior (panels, steering wheel, gear knob, handbrake et al) and replacing these parts with custom made black and silver parts.
The interior as it stands has already been sold
(d) Suspension & chassis
More on this later
(e) Engine & Turbo
Circa 350bhp, more on this later
(f) Tyres
More on this later
(g) Roof
Have some plans for this - more later
(h) Lights
Hids and LED all around, keeping the original lenses but making the bottom two rears more red
(i) Exhaust - Blue Flame with decat or sports cat
(j) Paint and engine bay - Refine until crystal clear and shinier than the worlds most shiny thing. Make engine bay as new
(k) Bits and bobs
As we go along
Some initial pics - as picked up on purchase day.
As you can see, she is not too shabby, but I did detail it about a two months ago
This weekend I will begin the paint refinement process and of course will be posting the results up in this thread.
