Megane coupe 1.6i 8v

Lets start at the beginning. I purchased the car of my brother in december for £900. this was a picture of the car round about that time. [img:1uvld0yc]http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3730/sullysnewcaryku5.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] It looked great alloys brand new and it had been resprayed not even 12 months before. Then some psycopath with a set of keys released his anger on it :cry: [img:1uvld0yc]http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/6948/14072008009ox3.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] [img:1uvld0yc]http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/4820/14072008008ea6.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] [img:1uvld0yc]http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/6750/14072008007yr2.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] [img:1uvld0yc]http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/2451/14072008006pa8.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] [img:1uvld0yc]http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/5954/14072008005ub7.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] [img:1uvld0yc]http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9466/14072008004ks0.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] I just took it on the chin like u do and got on with doing outher small bits to the car. I went and got a backbox of ebay and got that thrown on £43.00 for the back box £60.00 to fit it. [img:1uvld0yc]http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/5296/21062008269jr4.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] The next thing i did was go and get myself a pipercross victor induction kit. I fitted it and the engine was minging so took it down to the local garage to be steam cleaned. Then i gave all the pipes a good old polish with bumper shine lol [img:1uvld0yc]http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/140/14072008010hw6.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] I got myself a evo spoiler of ebay cant remember what the price was. I got the number of my car for the colour and dropped off the spoiler to be sprayed. [img:1uvld0yc]http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6935/13072008003qx1.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] Shame the colour of the car is different to the spoiler lmao was gutted never thaught when the car had been resprayed in the past they changed it slightly. My next challenge was window tinting that went crap gave up couldnt do it :evil: still have half a roll of tint left for when i feel brave enough. Then i got some wheel refub kit of ebay. I sanded all the scuffs and scratches down so they where not sharp. I applied the filler and left it for half and hour or so to dry and harden. Then i just sanded down the filler till it was nice and smooth and looked like it was the same shape as the wheel. Me and my 2 year old sone washed them down [img:1uvld0yc]http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/1673/06082008025vi7.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] This is the picture with the filler all sanded down. [img:1uvld0yc]http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9766/08082008026ot6.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] Next i got these pads u-pol super fine pads to scratch off the shiny surface of the alloy ready to be sprayed with prima. [img:1uvld0yc]http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/1574/08082008028eh0.jpg[/img:1uvld0yc] I was very happy with the outcome. the can spat a little when i first started to spray them. I had shook the can for like 5 mis before aswell it left 2 lilttle runs but thats all. Ill sand them off and redoo the area even tho its on the inside of the alloy.

how different is the colour on the spoiler? my spoiler is a different colour but u dont realise it untill u look close. i would swap ya but i dont think that big spoiler will suit my sleeper look. nice progree

What i like most about you Sully is you are happy to give almost anything ago.... keep up the good work pal cant wait to see how the wheels look when finished....looking well already! Next step mechanical stuff sod paying £60 for a back box to be fitted.....

I might just get the spoiler put on. Ill be getting a respray in 5 months when i pay of my credit card and put the respray on that lol. What mods u thinking karl?

Well the porject log is on its way and by the looks of things so are you in mods pal. I want you have done sofar and like karl said cant wait to see the wheels looking good again. Keep it up and keep us updated top man

The front of the wheel [img:2idy3iw4]http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/6434/08082008029wr5.jpg[/img:2idy3iw4] There is a big part on one of the spokes that needs sanding and re spraying put to much on to quick. Its all a learning game 8-)
