P3 HDI - Project 'De-chav'

[dave1221]

Hi All. I thought id start a wee project thread for the Pug to show you the transformation she has undergone in the 8 months I’ve had her!

It was a fantastic low mileage example (79k) which unfortunately came with a few unwanted ‘extras’

---

First thing to do was to get rid of the shopping list plastered all over the car:









Our lass helped me a lot bless her...she came prepared with her hair drier!!

---

The pug came with a ‘false floor’ in the boot –the guy i bought it from said the previous owner was apparently in a band and used it to stash music equipment (god knows what, the space was small!).

Anyway, it looked a bit unsightly and took up space unnecessarily in the boot....so out it came:









Complete pain in the rear to remove! I think the guy used No More Nails or something to ‘weld’ the wood in place! Again, our lass was on hand to assist. I now need a new carpet for the boot!

---

I refurbished the alloy wheels to a (Jaguar) gunmetal colour, I personally think the colour suites the car a lot better than white

---

I finally got the bonnet vent removed around 3 months ago:



The morrettes were also removed shortly after - I sourced some Valeos from the local scrapyard:

I then sprayed the headlight trims i got from the local scrapyard after work during the week:





Colour match is really good D
