PROJECT SCOPOPHOBIA

[GRINNER]

Here we are, from the start...

PROJECT SCOPOPHOBIA
(the fear of been seen)

I bought this 1990 Scala 1.8i in April 2008 for £1000!
Only 68k on the clock and it looked great.



As soon as I could I dropped it on coilovers on to 15" Ronal LS's



A cool pic with a Jag


Then my lass got me these made for me, AWESOME!



Then I got these bits and bobs, anything with an iron cross i'll buy!






Nice puddle shot,


Then the fog lights came off,


And another iron cross, this time rear view mirror!



...and no mk2 would be complete without clear front and side indicaters


Thats it for now , i'm still working on the ice as I keep blowing fuses.
In the future i'll respraying it and cleaning up the engine.


Thanks for taking time to have a little look.

HI - the ronal LS is a 7.5 x 15 wheel with ET25. this car running 195/45 - 15 rubber to be able to get the lovely low stance.

Cheers for the wheel info. I was looking at the Ronal LS wheels on this site. They are 15 x 7.5 with 195/50/15 tyres and look a little too stretched for my liking.

How do the 195/45/15 look close up?

Sorry to be a pain.

Thank you thats great.

[GRINNER]

LOL!

I should pay attention to this bit, I did't know people had commented.
Thanks for the positive feed back, Ben_realrides feel free to have a poke about when ever you want (was it clean when you saw it? Cos it ofter is not)

I love my wheels, I'm right on the limit of scrubbing on the front archs. I could go lower but this it ok.

[GRINNER]

The full wheel spacer fit picture fest.

Here is a FK 20mm B+ centric spacer (there are two of them)


Cleaning


Copper greasing


On it gose


Fully on with more copper grease (copper grease rocks)


And now before and after of the left


...and the right


And some more finished pics

[GTXTRA]

excellent stuff.

what wheel bolts did you use and where from?

[GRINNER]

I used the same wheel bolts that were on before, as the spacer came with it own bolts as it bolts the the hub first then the wheel bolts tot the spacer.

Archs are now rolled as of this morning!

Here is the beast,


Here it is on,


See how the flexably bodykit moves away!



And that'll do,



I still have 4 screws holding the bodykit on, just the top 2 removed and it should be fine.

[Rusty dan]

Arent you the lucky one to have metal arches to roll lol
Most of us make do without!

Loving it by the way. whats the future hold for this radiant beauty

[GRINNER]

Not much going to be happening in the near future as i'm getting married next year and we're busy saving.

But after that (all going well) I really want re-spray and new wheels as i've curbed the rear left!

(please dont look at my rear left )
