chris_90 106 derv project xsi rep, turbo NAD ;)

[Chris_90]

looks tidy. Not really a fan of flat arches. Needs moar lows!

Thanks and with you on the lows hopefully will have a bash at doing back soon

Looks good man. Needs wing mirrors painting.

What's your plans for the interior?

Looking for Xsi seats/door cards or s1 rallye seats don't really want gti half leathers as they cost to much for a mint set I would be worried about wearing them down or ripping them lol tbh not in a rush to sort them tho as focusing on the exterior at the min

Good man, s2 dash is a cheap and easy upgrade. Also s2 door cards.

Will look loads better lowered.

Are door cards a straight swap then?

Wrapped roof today not done bad at all to say its my first time, just made a bit of a mess trimming round the aerial and boot

I was thinking that with the indicators just need to find some one with some tint cos don't want to buy a full tin for sake of them two small bits

Looks good mate

Thanks mate

No seems to have gone quick once it lowered chances are I will get bored because there's nothing else to do it

looking good, was it a f*ck on cutting the archs?

[Chris_90]

looking good, was it a f*ck on cutting the archs?

Really easy tbh got jigsaw with the finest blade possible, marked round the plastic arch, free handed the last bit, then cut them. Up close you can tell there cut as i went off just slightly but i think you could only tell if you u new it was a rep. If some one didnt no doubt they would spot tbh. Fitting the whole kit was alot easier than i expected took around 1 hour or just over.

Bit of an update put a powerflex engine mount on feels great to drive the the vibrations are way to much for me even with turning the idle up, so will be comeing off again.

If possible can some one do me a photo shop of my car with some 15 inch lenso bsx alloys on please on phone at min so not got any pics of wheels but can be found on Google easy enough

[samass]

Getting rid of the powerflex mount? Swap it for an OEM one?

Its for sale mate £25 ovno but got oem mount back on as the powerflex mount i bought is in a mount ready to bolt on so didnt have to mess takeing oem one out. but be warned if you fit a powerflex mount on your derv the dash will fall off

Bit of an update finally got round to changing fuel and air filter




Might move a bit better now but not got my hopes up

[Chris_90]

Will be getting these wheels soon heres a photoshop some one did for me, not sure if it will look this good in real life but should look good.

[bigcheez2k3]

That's looking good. Lenso BSX? Been thinking of a set of those myself, in 16".

[ginge191]

those wheels, that heigh, that colour, that model all together looks awesome!!

[Chris_90]

Yer lenso bsx 15's tho not got them yet but shouldn't be long till I do get them tho, if I can get it looking that good full of win but not quite sure It will be that low as still need to be practical get over bumps etc

when you drove away yesterday, the exhaust noise was brilliant, absolutely no way you would ever guess it was a diesel, it sounded like a saxo vtr!

[Chris_90]

so bit of an update, picked up these wheels of zakk yesterday my god they was a mess a a massive amount of shite all over them was abit worried that they might have corroded under all the muck and dirt, but took the risk and bought them didnt take any pics of the mess they was in but wish i did lol any way first one i washed up and polished as best as i could how people clean these my fingers are killing from cleaning one any way the pics





need to get some 45 profile tyres and then i can test fit them see how they fit on the 106 : D

Comments welcome

[sam]

40 profile would look epic when its slammed

[ozonehostile]

kind of ashamed about the mess they were in but when the 405 died i lost all interest in them and shoved them in storage as they were

glad they've cleaned up nice though, knew they would!

[puglove]

s1 106s were made for these wheels. Seen a cosak one at pugfest last year and that was pure porn

[Jimbo]

What u gonna do about the bent one?

[Chris_90]

What u gonna do about the bent one?

Get it repaired or see what it's like but looking on net probably not £50 to bend it back shouldn't be a big job

40 profile would look epic when its slammed

It would also brake my back lol looking for Tyres at min and tempted with 195/50's as there so much cheaper but not 100% sure yet

Yer they were a mess, few marks on the bent one that it's started corroeding hopefully don't go to bad but will see how it goes

s1 106s were made for these wheels. Seen a cosak one at pugfest last year and that was pure porn

Not seen a s1 with these on tbh you got any pics??

[sam]

Ive got 40 profile and there fine bud just a tad rougher than usual but looks loads better

[7057sam]

[Chris_90]

I always waxed them and sprayed with alloy wheel protector stuff, it doesnt stop them getting dirty but it makes them alot quicker to clean as brake dust just comes off with the jetwasher and a sponge

[Niall]

That looks quality! Making me really want another 106 lol. Always loved the S1s and when i had mine, i always wanted a 1.6 XSi. Dont know how i got side tracked to their bigger brothers lol

Never been a fan of s1 106's until I started putting the Xsi Kit on now I love it just wish it had more poke but sure I will just live with it or turbo it not sure yet quite fancy a Xsi but no good for my job need epic mpg's

[ozonehostile]

get some spray on carnuba wax, piss easy to apply and it protects them
