Ryan1992's 197

[Ryan1992]

So hi all I'm fairly new to this not done a project/progress thread before so anyway here it goes.

Ill start with a bit of my car history, so basically been driving since 2009 I think lol cba to look at the back of my driving licence.
My car was a rubbish Skoda Felica (yes I hear you say omg a skoda) this was a short and sweet relationship of six months lol


I then got my second car a peugeot 306 1.4 and I wrecked it I went trough the old max power stage and it ended up like this


As you can see from the above photos a c2 vtr is next to the pug well this is my third car but it didn't stay standard for long. It was lowered on fk high sports to the floor and 20mm spacers all round with a race tube and back box, BMC CDA induction kit, was a great little car but not enough power ill find some
More pics the c2


I then went a bought the best car of a lifetime (you've guessed it the 197) my first RS and will defo not be last,
Now for a few pictures


More to follow tapatalk only lets you post five images

This was at the dealership when I fell in love with it

I put a deposit down on it that day but had to wait till I was 21 as insurance was stupidly high. Waited a month to pick it up.

First things first got private regular for b-day so that wet straight on


Then went to a meet thanks to
Mitchell and the modding began

Firstly came the exhaust trims eBay special


Silvertech indicators (makes it look evil)

Thinking about getting the roof wrapped in gloss black at the same time as getting the decals applied. Also thinking of getting the wheels refurbished and then getting a white pinstripe around them?? Thoughts everyone

 

[mitchell197]

Glad U got the bug!! im starting a few jobs on mine next week! Look forward to seeing at gleaming at fcs.

 

[Ryan1992]

Yeah caught the bug lol I wanna get the roof and very thing done before FCS but doubt it will happen lol

 

[Ryan1992]

Update. Well while it was still warm after work I decided to have a go at some DIY painting so took the dash strips out and had a go this is how they turnt out

Comments and criticism welcome

Pictures coming soon as tapa talk won't let me upload :/

 

[mitchell197]

What colour did U go for??

 

[Ryan1992]

It's got a maximum upload limit which sucks lol when's for white on the inside I think it looks the tits

 

[Ryan1992]

Ok after neglecting this here are the pictures of the painted bits on the inside of the car.




C&c welcome

 

[mitchell197]

Looks good, need to do the centre bit. Gloss or satin black I say!!

 

[Ryan1992]

Yeah wad thinking gloss to be honest lol

 

[mitchell197]

Do it! It comes out easy enough, bit of a pig to get back in though!

 

[Ryan1992]

Yeah I've had it out when I wad changing the bulbs behind the heater dials took me and my dad to get it lined up and back in. Well good thing is I use the bike going backwards and forwards to work normally so doesn't matter if the car sits outside for days with it being striped for painting or other things lol
