Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | Right, I've never really had a journal or ever posted about things I've done to my car. Just asked questions on how to do it. So I thought it was about time after nearly 3 years of being on here I started a proper photo journal of my car. It started life as my Nan's 111SLi, completely standard, I suppose you could say it had one extra- a towel over the rear seat. I haven't really typed a lot here about the mods, but if your interested in any, reply here or PM me. Thats it so far. I'll try and keep this updated. | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | I think i prefer the 6 spokes, l think the cross wire look too old skool on 100's. Why not put the 185's off your cross spokes on to them? | ||

Admin Posts: 1576 Location: Burnley, Lancs | Very tidy, drivers rear door is a different shade of silver to the rest of it? I'm liking the MGF rear view mirror, might have to look into that one. | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | James160vvc - 25/11/2010 8:31 PM is it my eyes or are drivers side doors different shades of silver ? The bottom half of the rear driver side door is a different colour. @ R100_vvc. They won't fit on the 6 spokes they are too wide. Edited by 111Sli 25/11/2010 12:37 PM | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | RobertoMiley - 25/11/2010 9:05 PM looks nice and tidy, silverstone interior looks good. Since these photos, I've got front door cards in. So I'm on the look out for GTA door cards [easier to get hold of and not a massive difference]. Also, I have GTi skirts that need spraying and fitting. | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | I have since got my 'Rover' numberplates, completed my rear doorcards and my GTi skirts are currently at the bodyshop. I have fitted a Citroen Xsara splitter. [I copied Daz's green Ascot] For those interested in my new 'Rover' plates. Edited by 111Sli 26/3/2011 7:15 AM | ||

Agree colour coded skirts make it a whole lot better, and I prefer the GTi ones to GTa anyway | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | As requested from my small audience, are photos of my new GTi side skirts. Im very happy with the colour match actually, usually silver is a right fook to match, but I think the body shop guy did a top notch job... all for £50! Just to add also, as you may or may not have noticed, I now also have some genuine head lamp protectors. Straight from Rimmer Bros. I'm thinking for next few months, perhaps electric mirrors so I'm on the prowl for all the relevant parts- I don't want to be making any more looms. My brain still hurts from the last one. If anyone has a full set up, PM me! Edited by 111Sli 31/3/2011 2:33 PM | ||
