Nice little update for you all;

We have just had a big car show for the UK / Europe Club323f called JAE, and I've had to have a couple of secrets

I've removed the bonnet sound deadening stuff, as it was looking really bad.
I also now have new plates!

I bought Marc's (one of the club's admins) original boot build, as it is perfect for me, needing to put lots of crap in the boot!

This week, I wrapped my centre console & door switch pods in red carbon vinyl. It looks nice at night, but I may need to have a rethink for the day time.
Oh, and a nice shiney weighted (custom made!) stainless gear nob.

And a couple of beauty shots from this weekend:

Next to come, she needs a new zorst and a 40mm drop!

Oh, and we also managed to win the best club stand award!!!!!

Bring on next year!

Man thats so clean!

cyntax · 24-10-2011, 04:20 AM

lol, just don't look too close!

Really bad paint swirls, and the whole front end needs a respray

Added to that, I have recently had one of my customers reverse into it, and punch a fist sized hole on the rear bumper

She did pay for the repairs, so I've bought a brand new bumper, and started saving for a full windows out respray!

TheMAN · 24-10-2011, 07:10 AM

aren't there rust issues to fix too?

cyntax · 27-10-2011, 05:17 AM

lol, just a few.

Sucks living near the sea!

cyntax · 20-02-2012, 06:32 AM

~Little update for you all;

I got a bit fed up with the fake carbon wrapped interior, as it was all bubbling and peeling, so I took it all off, and sprayed the parts up gloss black

I think that I will need to have another go, as I'm not 100%, but it looks a million times better!

Also today, I gave her a damn good wash and wax...

marcs_sp20 · 20-02-2012, 01:58 PM

Are those aftermarket fogs?

Looks awesome!

cyntax · 20-02-2012, 11:30 PM

They are after market, cheepo ones from Halfords in the UK. They cost a fraction of the Mazda ones, and look just as good

TheMAN · 20-02-2012, 11:48 PM

do those fog lamps from halfrauds work any better than the stock ones?

cyntax · 21-02-2012, 12:58 AM

The beam pattern is not quite as good, but TBH, there isn't much in it.

cyntax · 08-04-2012, 10:52 PM

Right; after I've got the replacement bumper, and modified valance painted and fitted, I'm going to have a bash at refurbing my wheels, as the lacquer is bubbling, and there are some curb marks

I fancy changing the colour a bit, but not sure what to.

I was thinking either matt bronze, or a dark (ish) graphite.

What do you guys think?

Clean_Cookie · 09-04-2012, 06:35 AM

Bronze would look pretty good I think!

cyntax · 10-04-2012, 03:01 AM

Nice little arty shot for you all; quality isn't great as I did it on my iPhone;

cyntax · 10-04-2012, 03:23 AM

Ice88 · 10-04-2012, 06:18 AM

Nice man.

Rupewrecht · 10-04-2012, 09:59 AM

That's gold

I'd go a much darker bronze with red.
