Hi all
Iv spent days on here reading about other cars so I thought id put mine on J
went to the gathering last year, awesome
Iv had this cinq for about 2 years now. It was pretty standard until it had an argument with a bush/ditch on a nice narrow country lane.
Bought it for £300 ...
spec:
- -40 blue springs
- K&N - with lifted bonnet to keep engine bay cool
- Sparco front strut brace
- Bilstein rear shockers kyb fronts
- 32mm throttle body
- uno wiper motor
heres some pics
when i got it
a year later - was listening to kings of leon a bit loud, £20k audi came tother way... lock brakes - ditch it to avoid hitting audi, who also didnt slow down much, but was all my fault basically!
needed two new wings, bumper i had recently replaced & resprayed cos of cracks was ok, bonnet was also fine.
concept - got the idea from watching racing at Thruxton, a seat cupra cup car for some reason was in red white and green. Then there was an old alfa in retro cars a few years back. I know its also been done before on a racing X 1/9...
Painted the green in a single pack that cost about £10 Two new fiat wings and smoked repeaters
primed doors on car and then took them off to spray flat as it was last Dec and a bit cold!
This was two pack white provided for free by my neighbour Pete - thanks pete, who also helped with the spraying a lot!
Removed sun roof - if i was to do this again i would have removed the front screen and roof trim strips! but it took a week of solid work without doing this!
finished without any graphics and an odd headlight.
At retro rides 09
bonnet lifted with washers to aid cool air and allow fitment of the k&N and strutbrace
... and look cool
My wife has got another cinq sporting , standard in broom yellow, its interesting to compare the cars on a daily basis.
Next mod is some Alfa 33 revolution rfx 13 x 6 wheels iv got
