Ollie's GW 200 Project

G8RSH

Winner - POTM April 2018
Got the 200 a short while ago and think it's time to make a project page on it! Picked it up just at the end of summer last year (2014) and have done some subtle mods to it, nothing major as of yet..

When I first got it;

Since then I've added the following;
- Silvervision indicators all 'round
- LED upgrade throughout interior
- STUKE front winglets
- Carbon side splats
- Gloss black badges
- De-badged boot
- Personalised reg
- Tinted sun strip
- Heko deflectors
- Tinted fogs

Car has Sat Nav, cornering lights, projectors and the cup spoiler! Just missing out on a set of Recaro's... :wink:

As of when I started this thread;

Ordered red silicone hoses for the bay and a flush glass blank for the rear wiper delete, should be coming within the next week! Have a lot planned for it!

Finally got around to doing the rear wiper delete, looks so much smoother now! Also tried out my new lance for the snow foam..

Nice car,love what you've done to it:smile:
Anymore plans?

Now all the simple extras I've wanted are on, time for the dear stuff! Belts are due in March/April so after that's payed for will be aiming for springs, spacers, exhaust, maybe manifold, and Recaro's!

Looking forward to further updates:thumbup:
 
So my old car sold today for just under what I was expecting, but its still a good lump sum to get some mods on the 200!

Back before I stripped all the extras off:

Picked up a set of Lagunas I bought off eBay today! Will be running them whilst I get the Speedlines refurbed, & then for winters/trackdays.
 
Why for trackdays mate? Do they get curbed easy or something?

Seems odd putting winter tyres on then having to change to a track tyre :smile:
 
Very nice car. You clearly appreciate having a good plate but wouldn't "CL10 GTO" be better. Perhaps not for you, but do know anyone who would appreciate it?

Mines a 59 reg mate, sorry!

Depending if I do trackdays. It's my daily and not sure on taking the risk. Just a rough idea at the moment, but if I was to I wouldn't wanna ruin the freshly refurbed Speedlines! :smile:
 
So my hoses arrived off exon, really good service would highly recommend! Got all the hoses and conduit on, just need to get my yellow caps dipped and maybe a polished top inlet.

Does anyone know where I can get these hoses in red?

So haven't updated much for awhile. Received my new LED taillights last week and got them in almost as soon as the parcel arrived haha. Always fancied the FK styled lights on the MK2's so thought why not for this one.

So my cambelt was due just before Christmas and had it booked in last Monday with Dan @SJM. Had the cambelt, aux belt and waterpump all changed and had him fit the springs whilst it was in there! Now I finally have the Ultraleggera's on as well!
