Welcome Dave and good luck with the motor!

by **dbuxs** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 9:48 pm

thanks people......must do some work on it taking the graphic off the front of it and paint the back bumper, and then clean the sh1t out of it !!
got new mats on flee bay, fitted ones with the fto logo very nice indeed

car has potential .. a good vision and a few tasty mods can change that chav style that the car had ..

by **dbuxs** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 10:11 pm

oh big time, not too mad about the 18" chrome wheel either, love em or hate em ?? that's the question,
engine bay is spotless and the inside is very clean too,
only started taking the graphic off, but it's leaving some of the glue on the paint work anyone know whats the best stuff the get that sh1t off ??

by **colm_mcm** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 10:15 pm

hope you bought it when it was cheap and the bhp was high!

Methylated spirits (pharmacy) will do the job nicely (or alternatively petrol), make sure and use a blunt plastic implement to prise it off and polish the paintwork afterwards. You could soften it up with very hot water first.

Welcome yto the forum by the way :smt023

in a word , dave , that car was slagged a lot in here ..

hope you can bring her back to the pristine cond.

not mad about those chrome wheels miself .. there are a few sets on sale here if not i'm sure you can find a propper set out there or even standard 16 ' dont look bad

by **dbuxs** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 10:31 pm

i hope so, no graphics and change of wheels will do a lot......
