Bought the car in Dec looking slightly worse for wear!
Re-sprayed, and with Rev 3 goodies added.

Hello fellow Essex person ! \:D/

why do you feel the need to change those rims ?.. they look like split rims ?? - NICE !

if you don't like them cos maybe the gold spokes ? - maybe a refurb to a different colour ? - I quite like them actually ! :D

Paint job looks good too !.. what colour is it ?. stock ?

So when are you coming on a "bluewater meet" so the rest of us can ogle the car in person and try and convince you that those split rims are GOOD !!!!

Oh and i like the cunning use of a dark screw on the number plate "Zoe" haha =D> :wink:

Thanks, although i'm not sure what to do about them, yes they are split rims, made by Equip. Thought about spraying the spokes graphite or even body colour, which is stock, its Dark Turqoise, but looks so different to how it was when i bought it!! Need to get some clear bumper lights too!

I wasn't aware of the Bluewater meets, when do these take place, regular?
Any other Essex meets?

I like the wheels! maybe better in a 17", but I like the style. Maybe just lower it?

Just need some clear corners.

Equip split rim alloys and you don't like them ? :shock:
hold on to them ! they are v v nice ! - yes Graphite with the chrome rims would look absolutely great !

There are 2 main meets in essex (apart from southend sea-front which I've never been as it seems a little boy racer ish for me ! (hey I'm getting old and crusty at 30 ! haha)

ok so Bluewater isn't exactly Essex but you know what i mean.. that one is from 8pm till late every second Tuesday (the last one was feb 22nd) - normally about 15 Mr2's - but loads of other RWD jap cars too :-)

here's a link (quite a popular meet !! :wink: )
http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic. ... =bluewater


the other is the Halfway house pub - on A127 (by the turning for a128 brentwood (there is also a little chef there) - first sunday of each month typically about 3pm

also I'm arranging a good day out on 12th June : a Rolling Road day followed by the obligatory cruise down a12, across a130 and up the a127 to the aforementioned "halfway house".. so far we have about 17 cars going ! 8)

here's a link :wink:

well that should keep you busy ! - if you fancy coming along to the Rolling Road day I'm arranging then send me a reply and I'll update the list with your name on it (all details are on that link as above)


cheers !

Hi,your wheels are WORK EQUIP's,quite a rare wheel.If you had them sprayed and then lowered your car,I think they'd look great 8)

Thanks guys, i think i will get them sprayed graphite & keep them, not too keen on idea of putting 17's on her, but will definately get her lowered!

I know the halfway house, used to go to cossie meets there! Might see me at next one of those!!

Where's the rolling road taking place? T&M's?

Respray

Post by Cliff »

Hi Zoe,

How much did the respray cost you?

Re: FINALLY! Pics of my car......finished!!

Respray was erm, free! Well, i paid for the paint but not the labour!!! My partner sprays cars for a living, so i managed to get her done at his garage. Looks much better than i ever imagined for a stock colour, was his valentines present for me!

Def need clear repeaters though! And i think i will get him to spray the spokes graphite!
