Project xsi-6 2010 new look
Well for a while now i've wanted to change the dated look of the xsi-6 but i've been putting it off till the Rallye is finished, but as i may be rebuilding the rallye's engine or buying an already high boosted lump the rallye will be staying off the road till the new year, cos of this i'm now getting on with the new look
Started with some black masks that have been sat in the shed over a year
Its a start my dad is collecting a standard rear bumper on his way home from work tonight, i've already got a standard smoothed front and i've also got a standard boot lid so can have a standard spoiler

Re: Project xsi-6 2010 new look
I find spending money on the bodywork painful, when i think of all the nicer goodies than make it faster or handle better
Is it just me
How is the arch rolling going? Is the 306 going to get some super wide arches

Re: Project xsi-6 2010 new look

Re: Project xsi-6 2010 new look
Yeah car is staying white arches havent been done cos the roller only fits on cars that havent been lowered but i'll work something out to modify it to work
Re: Project xsi-6 2010 new look

seems a shame to do all that work to it over as many years as u have and take it all off.

Re: Project xsi-6 2010 new look
gonna sell it all on,
reason
i've got to use my ncb for my rallye and insurance for the xsi as a std car with 0ncb is £550 or £1100 as a modified car so everything going back std so i can afford to keep it as a 2nd car

Re: Project xsi-6 2010 new look
I've seen the arch rolling done with a baseball bat
They placed it at the back of the wheel/arch, then drove the car forward
Worked a treat too!

Re: Project xsi-6 2010 new look
The car went 'pure white' when i painted it went to the local ici dealer and told them i want the whitest white possible and they gave me a pot without anything added to the white shade they buy in, on their chart they say its 42 shade lighter
in that pic the difference is plain bianca looks cream

Re: Project xsi-6 2010 new look
The bianca does look more creamy, but I seen a poor 106 rallye resprayed in cream
Horrible!
I think you need a white 306 rallye parked next it for a full comparison though, wink wink :p

Re: Project xsi-6 2010 new look
Yeah sort of, i'm making it more drivable as an every day car so decided on standard bumpers, so had to get standard boot to be able to remove the spoiler and as it will look standard smoothed i thought a bright set of wheels would make it
Re: Project xsi-6 2010 new look
Wheels are stunning
