went to the painter who painted my door for me and he has quoted me £120.00 for alloys, spoiler, mirror caps and fog surrounds in gloss black. he's going to get that done next Thursday as he is always chocker with work.

did you go for the clio ones in the end steve? they're pretty good for cheap stance. word of warning though, country roads will never be the same again. enjoy your fuel economy going down now that you can confidently drive on the rail road tracks around corners best kind of warning don't you think haha. that's a fair price too for the painting. i got my bonnet, roof, front and rear registration areas painted gloss back for £300.... best add the front bar and rear bumper registration bit in gloss black to your next round of painting! :mrgreen:

 

[gtsteve]

aye I did cheers for al the help you gave me. Not so many country roads here anyway if I'm honest and the ones that there is are just pretend 5 min ones at the back of industrial estates haha.

yeah its a good price he's so cheap man but a good painter at the same time. jaw nearly hit the floor when he said 120 haha.

I'm not sure on the number plate recess. part of me wants him to do it but at the same time I part of me saying not to do it. time will tell

Steve's ended up with the same coilovers as I bought. They're a big improvement over the crashy springs i was running, but they are a bit bouncy! As said, I had to have a mate remove the adjuster out the coilies as they were sitting exactly the same as the springs and, compared to the front, it was a HUGE difference.

This is shaping up to be a cracking little motor, good to see another local GT for sure.

I agree. i've got those coilovers too. pretty sturdy, don't feel dangerous and seem to be well built. i love the solid spring rate, nothing quite beats solid feeling suspension on the country roads as you feel every bit of the road underneath you.

looks like we are the GT-TECHNIX crew woohooo

 

[gtsteve]

I had a look at the idea of fitting Porsche wheels to mine purely for winding people up, finance permitting I might still do it, depends what direction I go with the car, racer or show car, that's a good list of mods planned though

today's long day has stared and the weather is *****

 

[gtsteve]

fitted my coilovers today. couldn't be any more disappointed with the rear. barely looks lower. swans told me not to put the rear ajuster in or it looks like a 35 mm drop so I didn't but it's barely different. front is perfect though. may raise the front a touch but I'm happy with them for now.

On the other hand least I if got them on before I go to croft tomorow on the track. coilies and proxies should make a massive difference compared to this time last week

don't need the rear adjuster. they sit flush ever so slightly above the rear arches at a 70mm drop in ride height from OEM. with the shock absorbers in the rear, the springs will never fall out of place without the rear adjusters. i've been airborne a few times on the back roads of kilsyth and the spring hasn't even swivelled on it's perch nevermind popped out . with the adjusters in, if you actually measure thay are about an inch thick which is 25 mm
