Seats look quite good now they`re fitted .
Almost there and bet you can`t wait to drive it now
Wish it was mine as its just stunning

Gave her, her 1st wash and fitted new plates with dealer info (Thanks Topaz) also new rear lenses (copies but are ok after a little work with drill and file) original Altisimo ones had fine cracks in that I couldnt remember being there when stored

Checked front suspension bolts and torqued them up, fitted split pins where needed.

Paint marked strut bolts etc as factory (maybe a bit anal but it cost nowt and i think it looks good)

Put carpet in boot (does the spare wheel strap hide under the carpet or go over the top and through cut in carpet, mine didnt have a boot carpet when I got it, this is out of a Ghia so spare wheel bracket would have been on side not top as RS does)















Did similar job to my 1st RS's consol, this one had been cut away so it hides this well, have to dig out some tapes to put in holder







After washing her, Son just back from Scouts over weekend with his backpack managed to get in shot

Have a set of silver stripes that I bought when was originaly going to paint her Black, thinking of fitting these as will be a bit different and think will look good?? Waiting to give her a final polish before applying them (Nosecone hasnt been mopped yet either)

Just brakes to bleed then should be ready for MOT

Caution the Flat caps will get ya

Lol Rob

But that was really the point in the post, I have done the car pretty much as standard as thats the way I like to see them, dont intend to thrash it about and remember my old car being good fun in a similar standard state.

Looking forward to showing her during the season but doubt will get into the concourse thing as think it could take over and would loose out on enjoying the car. But back to the original question about the stripes, if had intended to do the car Blue from start would have got black stripes for it, but with already having the silver and thinking they will look good on the car am tempted to go that route. Just thinking that the anorak in me might not be 100% happy Hence the post

[rsmarkiemk2]

put the silver on mate

[mk2ddc]

YOu could always try that photoshop thing that people do. Try a pic of your car and put some silver lines on it. OK it wouldn`t be the best but it would maybe give you an idea instead of applying the stripes and then thinking `i don`t like that` and having to remove them again !!.

Just a wee thought for you

[RS2000EXPRESS]

Don't put the silver stripes on because you already have them, put them on only if you would like them. If you don't, someone else will buy them off you and that will pay for a set of black ones!

[Chesney]

black for me mate thats just my opinion.

[Leckypete]

Bled the brakes today, rears were a pain until used Marks Easy bleed unit, pushed the fluid through ok

Noticed the reversing lights wernt working so will look at before goes for MOT

Got some BLACK stripes from DMB will fit after nosecone mopped and car given final polish.

[jontop]
