stripe Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I am finally 100% happy with my Scooby, here is how I got there! How she looked when I first bought her in March this year..... 33 days later I melted a piston......not a happy chappie! Off she went to Arnold Clark, who eventually (after a few heated discussions and threats of legal action) replaced the engine free of charge! How she looked after I got her back complete with new exhaust! New exhaust too loud, and too broken aswell after an encounter with a speed mountain. So I then stuck a Magnex 6x4 oval on, and......well, a couple of other slight modifications too......can you spot them? Then decided that a UK Classic in white was too rare to change spoilers and scoops on, and so decided to go as standard as possible. So after many months of good (and f*****g really bad) times, I am now very happy with how she looks! All that's left to do is colour code all the black bits.....and fit my new exhaust! Ok, maybe am not 100% finished, but getting there!
Dougie C Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Lovely looking white classic [y][y] Also love the new wheels!!! Dougie
Guest greegsy Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 You don't half chop and change kev! Looks good with those wheels really suit the car. Greegsy
jcscoob Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 All that's left to do is colour code all the black bits.....!! NOOOOOOOoooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!! The black bits look great even better on wight []
gubderSTI Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Lovely looking classic matey , maybe i am bias as i have 1 exactly the same. Steve
stripe Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 Thanks for the comments guys! So what do we think then, should I get it completely colour coded?
z1000 Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Looks good the classic really suits those wheels and prefer that spoiler. Colour coding [:|] Try getting someone to photoshop it 4 you which would make the desicion easier.
stripe Posted October 4, 2006 Author Posted October 4, 2006 That's a good idea mate, can anyone colour code the skirts, handles, mirrors and rear corner splitters in white for me please?
wrxmania Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 NOOOOOOOoooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!! The black bits look great even better on wight [] TOTALLY agree - I'll be leaving my black bits black - although the spelling of wight is unusual - ie the Isle of Wight lol []
Guest Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 nice wheels m8,really suit your car, what happened to your old wheels [] no doubt they'll show up sooner or later didn't realise you had made so many changes to your car BTW
dan_jess Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 In my opinion i wudnt colour code everything, once u go black u never go back! [] U cud get them painted matt black, then u wudnt need to back to black them all the time.
craigwrx Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Very nice mate [y] ...my thoughts thou, the black bits break it up and make the white stand out [y] Craig []
stripe Posted October 5, 2006 Author Posted October 5, 2006 Well me thinks I will be keeping the black bits black then! I will be spending a bit of cash getting a few stone chips sorted in the near future. Anyone know a good place in the Glasgow area to carry out some paint work?
st3ph3n Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Yes! You at the meet tonight Stripe? If so I'll give you a business card of some neighbours of mine who've just started a mobile service. If not I'll PM you their details when I get my hands on one of their business cards.
stripe Posted October 5, 2006 Author Posted October 5, 2006 st3ph3n yes I will be at the meet tonight bud so that would be great
markymark Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Go for the later look with white door handles & mirrors & get the gold wheels back on !!!!!! [H]
