My new 200 cup in Mercury Silver

[matt_brown_92]

Thought I should start a progress as I've got some plans for it.

I've had two cars before this one, firstly a 1.4 Corsa that began life like this...


and is now like this... (lil sis drives it now)


I sold that to my sis for my R27 which was my dream car since I first saw one in 2007, but we don't want to see how this one ended up.


And now I have this little 200 cup which makes me feel less like I'm overcompensating...! (But really I'd love another LY R27)

To do:
R12NLT plate - Done
Black insert headlights - Done
door strips body coloured - Done
cup spoiler
exhaust
gloss black wing mirrors
gloss black vinyl roof
removal of the nasty DRL's! - Done
debadge CLIO - Done
H&R's
25mm spacers
Black Cup rims

on the way home from glasgow at 4am!


My mates 1.2 clio that I was borrowing that was running on 2 cylinders. Not fun!








The screen on 200's must be a little bigger, I took this off my R27 and the bottom of the screen is cut off a little:/




loving the car, just think it looks a little plain jane at the moment, can't wait to get it looking as good as it goes!

Currently looks like this

Nice car, it'll be even better once you've done you to-do list

 

[henderson]

looks great

lol at the DRLs....why do people do that?

Lovely looking car....nice list planned for it.

 

[matt_brown_92]

Cheers guys

The DRL's wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so blue! All standard DRL's are white, so they're clearly an add-on

Look tidy nice to see mercury as it isn't common, good to see carbon clock surround so gona have get mine skinned

Very nice Matt, and you got that sorted quick so bet you're really happy.

The car has some nice touches, love the black door handles and the carbon skinned clock surround. I've been experimenting with carbon skinning recently

It means anyone can have the interior of a supercar

Cheers mate, yeah really happy it's great to be back

Carbon skiing seems like the way to go, if we're honest people don't buy carbon for the weight loss, so getting a real carbon look for far less money seems like win-win to me!

I've been a little busy doing some little changes so here's some pics!

Door strips sprayed by spray shack, who did a great job!!!
Black badges
debadged CLIO
renaultsport sticker, not normally keen on these, but the car needed something to make it a bit less dull!
Black insert headlights arriving tomorrow
R12NLT plate will be on soon too, can't wait for that! (btw, is it legal to push R12 NLT into R12NLT?)

Did you do the carbon skinning yourself? You don't have a link for it by any chance?

No no no, I think it's pretty complicated!! I bought it off someone on here, I think it costs about £300 to get clock, centre console and strips done. Sorry, don't know who did it!

Funnily enough, i was watching Wheel Dealers last week and they did the same thing.

They used a company called Wicked Coatings. Post and return service!

That's actually different to what mine is, mine is a layer of genuine carbon on top of the original part, which imo looks much better than carbon dipping
