Was just a cheap one from pound shop, 'gloss red'
Really happy with the colour though!

The ends if any sag then use some clear nail polish to seal them or glue but depends if you are planning to remove it in the future
If it ain't green and black send it back :D

So firstly got some rear 9.5mm spacers,
Before
Image
After
Image
Wheels now fit into the arch better.
Image
I also wrapped these pillars gloss black, they look far better.
Image
I fitted my red buckets aswell but didn't take any pictures, not sure if I'll be keeping them in though. I'll get pictures today.
Also have a new exhaust centre Section coming, Hoffman straight through cat back, for the back box though I'll have a cherry bomb for the time being but hopefully I can get my irmy back box from my silver C at some point if not I'll probably get a Hoffman back box.

Exhaust fitted, straight through cat back, to a temporary cherry bomb, I will not be getting my twin irmy back box back, already had a cry about it but will be looking out for one on eBay, also just been to the Welsh rally and saw this
Image
Exactly how I wanted my old one, I was slightly emotional to say the least.

After my other mirror snapping off I picked up this red one, electric for £10, actually grown on the red, what's the opinions on doing the other red to match?
Image
Also bought a boot to smooth, cost £10 also and already got to work on it, not taken any pictures yet though, also my old C is being delivered here now as my insurance has been cancelled, so at least I can get my irmy back box off it, hopefully the engine is still running so I can get some money for that but not getting my hopes up, I'll be swapping my current 40mm springs for the 60mm from the old C

So not updated in a long time, firstly, the wheels went black Image
I then got my old C back and put the lowering springs on
Image
I then fitted the irmy exhaust and some GM mudflaps Image
I've also sold those wheels now and have the SXis from my old C on now, I'm wanting some mg 16inch wheels or something along those lines.
I also got fed up of the red centre console so wrapped it in this stone wrap for a little bitImage
Thrn gave her a right good clean with Auto Glym and she came out amazing!
Image
Now I have the issue of being charged with driving without due care and attention and not really doing much to the car till I find out the outcome of this, I might start looking for a 1.6 to swap into it. Also want leather interior and just black every last bit of it out, still need to fit my front lowering sprigs but I'll get round to it one day.

The stone isn't staying long, it'll go gloss black when I get leather seats, just something different at the minute, it's from my accident back in October from my old C

I'm a slight fan of the stone effect[emoji38]I'd never use it on anything I own though
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
