[Midnightclub]

Woo.. e46 crew haha

[Jethro]

Fenomenal 306! I know you(r car) from the Frenchworxx forum

[Leemus]

Some of you who have me on facebook will no but sooty got crashed into last month. Was parked up to get some flowers for the miss's (using sooty as a daily as ive lost the locking wheel nut key for the estate and ive got a flat haha) came back and saw the wing slightly bent, thought f*ck ive lowered it with the wheels turned, went to get in and drive off when some women said that the women in a focus hit me. i then looked at the front of my car and released it was fooked haha. Exchanged details and its all gone though her insurance. Got the accident report though and its £2517.19 to fix thats new wing, pair of vents from Germany, then respray whole side and front as the skirt will have to be unbonded and resmoothed in. Anyways they gave me a like for like replacement car being a citreon c3 piccaso 1.6DT haha love it! went Amsterdam in it for £90 fuel! As im saving for a house i think im just going to fix it and either sell it or garage it and wait till im settled down and bring it back out again.










Game over



Her damage



hire car! haha

[Dum-Dum]

Don't sell it dude, you'll kick yourself.

[WiNgNuTz]

What a crock mate, feel for you! I know how much of a PITA it is when mine gets damaged, and mines nowhere near as high a standard as yours!

Should i be the first one to suggest the hire car "needs -40mm and clones"?

---

Oh and i agree with Chris, you'll regret it forever if you sell it!

[silverzx]

God damn! Her car barely looks damaged compared to yours!

[Piggy]

what a biatch

[Niall]

Oh shit man Im sure it was only an accident but its still annoying that people dont concentrate, especially after all the hard work you have put into this.

[devils_fuel]

As you said mate..game over but more like chapter over, sooty will be back but better

[Leemus]

haven't updated in over a year haha.
Got ended up getting fixed although we just put a new wing on and smoothed it into the skirt and left it at that, didn't smooth the side strip on as I've got new plans. Car has been offroad for over a year now, A custom interior has been built which just needs trimming plus i need to get some subframes made for the Porsche seats. The air ride is getting ripped out. Struts and bags are staying then all new lines and management with the tank getting moved and a extra compressor. i will be able to go 4 way then so can adjust every corner separately. Also car should be going back into bodyshop at the end of this month ready for mod nats in may. Carbon bonnet and morretes have been sold. Cossie wheels will be up for sale very soon as I've just bought some 3 piece split rims 16" x 9j rear and 8j front. Also my smoothed door will be up for sale aswell. not giving too much away but new colour no chequered roof and a few new parts
heres sooty atm

[Seid']

I know what wheels are those.. lalalalala

btw, you still save money for a house? I want a bed when I go there ahah

[Leemus]

Haha shhhh
Well saving once this is finished. Have to let me know any shows over your way worth going to from june onwards. And yeah ill have a spare room haha

[MCH]

wow you must of spunked some money on that!

Some nice touches and the air is interesting

[Leemus]

just a bit haha. going into bodyshop wed and won't be out till end of April / beginning of may. test fitted my new wheels and they fit kinda just need arches rolled at the back to suit.

[Leemus]

well sooty is M.O.T'ed and taxed, few things to sort before it goes trimmers at the end of the month then be revealed in august! First time I've drove sooty on the road since oct 2013! been so long! still runs like a champ although thing it needs new brakes haha

[Orta]

This car is epic. It's my first read of this awesome thread. Glad she's back on the road, any up to date pics? You gonna make it to pugfest? 

[Leemus]

pugfest I've never been to and i was going to go this year but car won't be ready
As for pics just have to wait and see
Carbon bonnet, morrette headlights, cossie wheels and chequered roof gone.....
now 3 piece split wheels 16x9 rears and 16x8 front with rear arches extended to fit. New colour and some body changes, and a brand new custom interior. Will also be getting the air upgraded to V2. A lot of money spent, near 2 years off the road but i hope it will be worth it in the end. Colour might be a bit marmite for some people (bodyshop hated it at first but its growing on them now its built up) but i love the colour. Colour I've always loved yet never seen it in the flesh as far as i know so defiantly different that whats out on any uk show car. might do the odd measure shot here and there tho so watch out

[Leemus]

not sure if anyone has seen this since its been re done but here it is. not 100% complete as theres a few littles things I've gotta do but its mostly there.

[mr_fish]

thought I noticed this in Rowells video but wasn't sure because of the colour, can say you've been busy with it.

Custom seats or from something and adapted?

[Eeyore]

yep saw it at the show. Looked great and new colour is interesting!

[Matt]

I like the new colour. Think it would look sick with a beige interior though.
Not saying I don't like the colour of current interior.
Was it complete custom interior work?

[Leemus]

everything from seats back is custom, seats are from a porche 966 and door cards are custom aswell. dash center consol and headlining are standard just retrimmed

[7057sam]

Looks stunning mate

Well done
