Stonkin Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 A stage 1 is priced at £325, a typical engine bay like this is £40 Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Rob is actually quite flithy so no surprise there! Though the work which you have done is truly amazing! The red looks so much deeper and that wet look is awesome! Also nice of you to take the time to share the work with the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I am curious to find out as to what stage 2 entails...as for me, this looks pretty much finished! i assume the interior is given a proper go? and stage 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) First of all a massive thankyou to Christian for his hard work. Quite frankly, the car was a mess when it arrived and as you can see it's had a tremendous turnaround. Those of you know who know him already know he's a good bloke and his attention to detail is fantastic. I can thoroughly recommend him. I will post up a couple of engine bay shots in the next couple of days too. When I picked it up on the other day, I was so impressed with the its new shiny magnificence, I nearly drove into his quadbike, as my eyes were hard right at the time It rounded off a nice start to the New year too - before Xmas I'd ripped the front bumper off due to an unforseen gradient and probably crap judgement on my part. So I sourced a new bumper with the help of Ryan G. It also came with a custom made under tray/barge board which should help reinforce and protect the Do-luck a bit. I like its look too. Thanks for the advice from Scott M & Jaime P - so I bought some HSDs and had them fitted. The front and rear of the car I had raised about 1 cm as it was ridiculously low beforehand. And thanks to Tony and Peter at Wheels in Motion for the Geo set up. Finally thanks again Christian for everything you did It was very nice to have an inane grin on my face upon seeing the car all nice and clean. I'm still wearing the grin now - it's a sort of Tony Blair one. But it's ok, it'll wear off soon...ish.

Lbm Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 ahhh i was too slow lol now edited cracking job though, looks mint It really was a huge pleasure to pick the car up and drive it 60 miles back home round the M25.

Josh Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 It really was a huge pleasure to pick the car up and drive it 60 miles back home round the M25. And of course, it's still looking great. Did it not get a lickle bit dirty on the way back? I'd love to get my red to look like yours but I'd be scared to drive it in case it got dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 so whats the front splitter rob? Sorry Rob I missed this earlier. The fella that sold me the bumper made it himself. It was made out of marine plywood and then I had it sprayed black. Personally, I think it makes the Do-luck bumper look even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
