Did u get new bolts for the split rims if so where from?

[Green Machine 3]

I believe she got them off Ebay, but i could be mistaken

[Zara 41 1 Cars]

Yes i got them off ebay £130 for 144 of them you can buy them from compomotive also but its £360 for all of them

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

that is everything he has for sale atm. these bolts are slightly shorter than the original ones though by 2/3mm but they are still okay.

Glad to see he is doing more peugeots

 

As for the washer bottle if you have a dish washer that would be a good start

[ALEX 98 1 Cars]

Look great, Love the colour.

But I cant help but thinking the wheel centers would look better gloss black.

think its about time i updated this seeing as sooo much is done!

 

interior is fitted but needs a clean

the front end is completely fitted

test run completed

brakes etc all sorted

 

MOT time on friday and the tax her and off we go!

there is no doubt there is still jobs to be done on her and they will get done over the year but she has to go on the road now

stunning cannot wait til my dimma is complete

[cybernck 402 1 Cars]

Wow, those seats suit it perfectly.

 

Isn't the front bumper too restrictive in terms of airflow though?

[Zara 41 1 Cars]

thanks yooooou

 

i get what you mean about the bumper but it doesnt seem to restrict it, it runs at normal temp and the air filter is just behind the headlight. its how its always been on the car so never changed anything.

Most of the cooling gets through the grill i expect. It's common in colder countries (Scandinavia) that is not open at all. Sometimes even the original grill is a closed version.

 

Don't know if you've thought about it, but IF you want to camouflage it, so it will look like it's open, you could place a black sticker on it. I did that beneath the headlights, because of the gap. I also adapted the grill with some black foil.

 

Are the goodwood seats replaced? Or are they 'new'? Looks great, as i said. Can't wait to see this beauty this summer!

[Zara 41 1 Cars]

they arent new. a bit of the drivers side needs restitching but ive never found anyone to actually pull through with a quote. even when i get it back it will be by no means perfect for show it will still be WIP but i will quite happily take her to a show and stand proud of how she looks..... spesh if me and you pull up next to each other hahaha

[AlexRS2782 136 1 Cars]

That looks stunning

[kuuner 56 2 Cars]

Owning a 205 seems to be always WIP. No surprise because they are all about 20~25 years old

 

ps; i've heard that a beautiful red Dutch Dimma CTi is coming this year too.

We are on the road!!

[allye 530 3 Cars]

We need engine bay shots!

[GLPoomobile 958]

Well done Zara, that's looking sweet now

 

I wasn't keen on the colour choice, but seems to work now it's back together.

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

Do you have any pictures where the morettes mount onto the front as mine have been cut around and dont fit very well and am in two minds to put standard lights or morettes on the dimma.

[kuuner 56 2 Cars]

I do. I have the same lights (in almost the same colour too hahaha).

 

 

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

Thats great will have a look at mine now I belive mine have been butchered and dont have any of those mounts.

[Zara 41 1 Cars]

So update. Almost at pugfest date but the car is still nowhere near finished. We will be at Pugfest with you guys but only for the day. We wont be camping aswell.

[Caddyshack 3]

I think my 4x4 Cossie t16 will be there....only 70% finished but it drives.
