why thank you mate, :thumbup1:

i am actually looking for a good quality JPEG image of the new badge...

since we do not even have the part number here I want to get a decent decal made of it... in matt black ofcourse :thumbup:

i also am on the verge of getting my headlights and getting the wheels done.
If i do the headlights my Clio will be the 1st and only Nimbus 197 in SA with black projectors...

sounds good mate,

thats what its all about, is to be different and stand out from the other 197,s.

if we all done the same thing it would be boring, lol :biggrin:

well if we take into account...

I am also the only 197 with Matt Black and Grey interior... The only 197 with silver indicator bulbs... only 197 with black RS detailed inserts next to door indicators... 8) so standing out already in subtle ways... :thumbup:

finally got round to fitting my new footrest,

sorry for the small pics as photobucket wouldnt let me copy the IMG for some reason ?



i managed to snap the center pop rivet at my first attempt lol, i dont think its that noticeable tho.

 

[chappo]

thats better can do it now lol,

 

[mradam87]

Looks good mate, you managed it in the end then lol

Nah you can't notice the centre one, I did exactly the same but just stuck a normal rivet in and it looks no different!

yes cheers for the PM as well mate,

like you say it only seems to attach to the rubber under the carpet, but its solid and it aint going anywhere lol,

never used a rivet gun before jesus that thing had be going crazy, lol :blink:

 

[chappo]

just a little update,

after ordering some wheel nut covers which i received, they sent me the wrong ones so i gave them to my sister, lol

then i decided to give them a go myself as i did on my old ST, so i am doing them in satin black which will match my center caps that i am doing afterwards,

just a couple of pics in progress before i get them back on the car,









will get some more pics up when i have done them all along with the center caps as well.

Looking good Chappo, make sure you get a strong lacquer on them so they don't flake when you put them on.

No probs mate, I hadn't either - thought I was doing something wrong after it took about 10 squeezes of the trigger to break the rivet lol was a cheapo gun though

Those bolts look awesome too, is it just a case of getting a good few coats of lacquer on to protect them? I remember doing some once and they looked great until the socket slipped over them to tighten them up :@

i would say yes Adam,

but when i done my other ones (old car) i didnt use lacquer at all and they never cracked or flaked at all. ?

but this time i will use 2 coats of satin black (hamerite) and then 2 coats of lacquer, should be job done then. :thumbup1:

 

[Giles]

going to steal your leather seats! hahaha only joking

looking good

 

[chappo]

well after doing my nuts black i then done the center caps satin black as well.

i think they came out quite well and over all i am pleased with them.

before i started,





and after,






i think they look alot better myself.

what do you think.
