Wheels do look good, but the drums being painted silver kinda ruins it a bit

The front cailpers look fine, its just the drums being silver that i think looks odd.

For e.g in this pic:

[Minstral]

think you hit it on the head mike. was looking at it saying something dont look right with the wheels. think with black drums will make it look better mate

[Tweek]

Just went back to see what wheels you used to have and I think the GTi wheels look better

Matt black drums FTW though. I Personally don't like "in ya face" drums, "in ya face" callipers are good though

[fiestasiphil]

haha i would get a cossie bib but i doubt it would last very long at 60mm, and the car is now finished and i'm saving for the future now so no more moding (want to save and pop the question to my girlfriend )

[fiestasiphil]

my cars had more bad luck some driver hit my si up the back at some point last week while my car was at my girlfriends house and drove off leaving a scuff and crack in the paint on the offside corner of the rear bumper it also pushed the bumper off on the corner but i fixed it :|

i'm deciding not to get it fixed now as its coming off the road and going into storage mid june and i am on the look out for something cheap and cheerful and i am hoping to buy a mk3 fiesta flight 1.3 once i find a good one

the car also has vibra technic gearbox mounts fitted now and i think there awesome (altho i did hate them to start with)



so to cheer myself up i decided to give my si a good clean and polish 2day and take some more pictures :thumbsup:

















annoying scuff its not a lot, but after paying £2500 to have it painted last years its really annoying

[EUFez]

Looking great dude. Im gunna be so paranoid after a respray on my car. I feel your pain!

[M1K3Y_B]

The damage sucks, people eh? No respect anymore

Whats with round scratches around the scuff?

[Chris 2i]

looks very nice

that scuff will polish out with some effort and patience

i don't know mate i have no idea what hit it, i thought it was wierd tho

[HCS PIMP]

yeh i had the same problem myself after i repainted the front and back bumpers had an incident with the car being in reverse and me tryin to start it

i know a garge that would spray the bumper for £250 if u take it off and do a sterling job

[fiestasiphil]

i gona leave the damage for now as its coming off the road in june as i can't afford the insurance any more

[jayrs]

whels look better now me thinks, i know everyone and there dog fits them but when a wheel looks good on a car it looks good, it cant be helped, iver even got some 16's to fit

people dont give a toss about cars nowdays mate, they think nothing of dooring it or bumping it in a car park, i had my rs bonnect keyed for no reason out side my house a week after i got it on the road, mindless pricks that can only wish to own something as nice

Why? How much is it costing?

[fiestasiphil]

between 1000 and 1200tpft but lost my no claims in july as i had a slight bump and was involved in a 5 car plie up back in 2007 so 2 claims in 3 years and with my insurance company saying my si is group 16 after all the mods its gona be high and i have something very special i'm saving up for (engagement ring) so i really have got to save my pennys. so for at least 10 months or year the si will be garaged until i can afford to run it again

[fiestasiphil]

got myself this last week for a new runabout which i will be putting on the road in mid june as im taking my si off the road as i can't afford the insurance

its a 1995 1.3 LX with twin airbags central locking, k &n (coming off to be replace with a standard one)electric windows and power steering oh and escort xr3 wheels to be replaced with si 14inch ones
its pretty solid apart from the boot is rotten and the bonnet needs replacing the sills are minty mint

its needed a big clean and tidy up when i got it so heres some pics



dirty back seats

si interior to be going in at somepoint















decided to take the front and rear bumpers off to check and treat rust





i also gave the engine bay a quick degrease as well








the plans:

fit xr2i front and rear bumpers
fit xr2i skirts and arches
si rear spolier from my si i'm breaking
lower it a small amount
fit si alloys and boot strut covers
replace bonnet

1 pic of my si

[fiestasiphil]

haha yeah i did see that, thought it was similar

[Sphinx]

Without meaning to drag this off-topic, that one on ebay is a bit odd what with the mondeo inlet manifold and somehow 'rusty' plasic skirts

Anyway, nice runaround Phil you know you want to 2.0 it

[Excursion]

Please can I buy your standard front bumper? I can come collect whenever you like.

[Smo]

Your runaround looks so much like mine used to Nice and clean though

[Tweek]

Phil, i found you cars twin on ebay

These Pi spoilers are starting to take off

[fiestasiphil]

done some more work on the white runabout fitted the si alloys to it and si interior, but found a tiny hole in the floor near to the seat bolt so will be getting it welded before its back on the road

also removed side strips but need to clean up the remains and fitted un dented bonnet















going to fit spolier tomorow and tide her up

[EUFez]

thanks mate


i did it myself did it very cheapy i had a wire wheel and put that in my drill and grinded all the rust off to bare metal then cleaned it and painted it with white hammerite as its good for rust proofing and it will sit behind the xr2i bumpers i should be getting soon
