He has packed in selling them now

Someone out there copied the design like for like and also does them in full Carbon, ah well one of those things two of us have the very first original ones. Also glad to say I've been responsible to help get these on the market and get the concept out

[cosmicmarc]

Well not been doing much on this progress blog mainly because been going through a separation with my wife and had lots to sort out and organise, back in with the rents now which doesn't bother me too much, seeing my little girls the most important thing.


Anyhow to the car.

So anyone who has read my thread will know I've always wanted Recaro seats, one thing or another it's never fallen right to buy any that come up. Well that quickly changed once I was bought out of my half of the house.

So Kieran on here sold me his seats and there in finally one of the final pieces to my car.


Also currently in progress is a new steering wheel trimmed by Peter Taylor, I can't wait for this to arrive the guys work is brilliant.

The other piece of my jigsaw is the wheels been powder coated, going for a bronze but having trouble getting the paint I want. I like Titan Bronze or maybe the Fiat Marrano volciano. Really struggling though to match the bronze that's on those Rays wheels.



I got the bumper sorted ended up sourcing a second hand one in pretty good knick so that's that sorted, biggest let down on my car is two penny size dents on top of my roof from cement from my old house roof. I'll get it sorted soon enough.


Today I spent a good 4 hours cleaning the car and giving it a bit of TLC it needed really, had my daughter help which was fun.


Did a polish all round using Poorboys black hole
Coated/cleaned all black plastics/trims etc in 303 Aerospace
Inside was vacuumed and dash cleaner used and some more Aerospace on few parts.
Then did a coat of Jetseal 109 and Gtechniq tyre & trim on the tyres.

Wheels were cleaned with Kleers but I've lost love with them until they get re powder coated.

I don't own a camera and the sun moved by time I came to pictures, but I think it's looking pretty decent.



















Cheers Quinny.

[Kieran_CTR]

Car looks great & very clean bud! I bet they feel so much better compared to your old seats

[cosmicmarc]

Yeah mate sweet been waiting nearly 2years to get seats lol

[Ollie milanoctr]

cars looking lovely mate, does the 303 aerospace stuff work on the triangular wing mirror trims? they do my head in !

[cosmicmarc]

Cheers fella

Yeah I use it on all black plastics and rubbers

Just buff it off proper it adds a bit of protection and brings most my trim up nice.

[cosmicmarc]

So after a loooooong time I finally got round to doing my wheels last night.

Been looking for a colour for ages and really think it's been the toughest decision I've made on my entire car, end of day wheels and colour can make or break a car for me.

So colour is Fiat 750 Marrano Volvciano fully powder coated and lacquered.

iPhone pictures and light was not great I need to invest in a camera really.

















Last pic is really bright lights



Cheers Marc

[cosmicmarc]

Wasn't happy with iPhone pictures so was bored this aft and added a few more better quality pic of my CTR

Thursday my new trimmed steering wheels coming from pete taylor, can't wait will add pictures when fitted.
