my n16

[Sam]

£100 more mate - on top of £1166 it's a fair bit :lol:

I wouldnt class putting standard alloys on the car as a modification, just say it came with it how should i know......

 

[fox1983]

i was thinking that if u put alloys from a higher model shouldnt be that much

 

[Hopelessness]

Paul there's some alloys in Silverlakes which might be of interest to you

 

[fox1983]

well ive finished the filler work now sanding it smooth got some more sanding to do tomorrow then first coat of primer

 

[fox1983]

pod finished and ready to fit. not excelent but it will do till i got more free time.
Just the one gauge fitted now, but room for 2 more.

 

[edk]

Yeah good Paul should do the trick

 

[commandosqueak]

wicked looking good mate. did you get the spoiler in the end. the one you wanted on before the south meet??

 

[fox1983]

yer sprayed it myself didnt like it so saving to get it sprayed and fitted by a pro

 

[fox1983]

ok so thought id update my ride thread ive got a new amp and had a cat back exhaust made too also thought id show some pictures of the cosmetic damage this is not as bad as the back axle was ect now we found a bush is possibly gone on the back too but heres the pictures.

 

[Liam]

Looking good mate (aprt from the damage :lol And vibe amps are goood!

 

[fox1983]

Well next step is just bought a spoiler off ebay already in my colour will be here tomorrow and will get it fitted when cars in for repairs

 

[fox1983]

thought id update went to edk's to find out the knocking and we found it was the exhaust catching the lateral link so its in today to have it adjusted. repairs were all done looks amazing and spoiler all fitted. now for the best bit after seeing eds car the wheels looked amazing so got these just waiting for them now.

next step is skirts and lowering

 

[edk]

Looked smart Paul with the repairs complete and spoiler (something all N16's need for some reason btw). The hub caps look gash of course so those wheels will finish it off nicely. Try them on in their silver for a bit and see if they grow on you first. Black will look good no question if you do go ahead though :thumb:.

 

[fox1983]

Thats the plan mate dont have cash now for for spraying so that will hold off a bit unless i stick with silver

 

[edk]

Lowering on standard wheels make a big difference and makes the wheels look better. This example shows even P2 N16 wheels can look alright.

 

[fox1983]

sweet just need some side skirts now anyone got any going cheap lol

 

[fox1983]

Well we can rule out exhaust been adjusted 3 guys in back of car jumping and it clears but still knocking but its defo on left side next step dismantle sus i think

 

[edk]

You saying it still knocks at the same time they are jumping on it?

 

[fox1983]

no it dont knock when they jump and it only does it on left side if i take a big bump on right it dont do it

 

[edk]

3 guys jumping on the back doesnt equate to the weight of car going over a big bump in my opinion. If it still knocked and you could see the exhaust wasnt hitting that would be different. It's just for me I find it hard to believe the sound we heard was from the suspension components. I may be proven wrong and I don't want to contradict the professional guys you've been seeing, and I do hope you find the cause though mate .

I know from previous experience it's hard to pin point rear noises in the car because of all the sound deadening and interior. It muffles it. For ages I could have sworn my off side rear wheel bearing was going but on inspection it turned out to be the near side one!
