Good work james, totally lifted the old tired image. One to be proud off.

Definately proud of the outcome, couldnt have sorted it without your help though Jon, plus steves welding and spraying!
Wasnt happy with how the front bumper and grill sat, so after a few adjustments I managed to get it all nice and straight! :)

Get that corsa gone and the 5 on the road buddy.
Hi,
Your 5 looks great:)
Did you get alloys refurbed or do them yourself?
I bought the alloys as a set off philg and they are in really good condition!
Yep they look ace mate. Am very jealous!!!
looks sweet as if it came from the show room well done :agree:
Today was MOT time and the R5 passed (after a little carb adjustment by Jon)
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...DSC00140-1.jpg
Also have had - 30mm front springs fitted and a pipercross airfilter as the standard airbox wasnt liking my current setup.
Many thanks to Jon (5279) for helping out with the R5 today and getting soaking wet changing the front springs :agree:
Hi james, yer just about dried out know buddy. Hows the ride with the new springs fitted?
Rides much more smooth now Jon so am really happy with how R5 has turned out:agree:

Your 5 looks great mate. Very impressed :agree::agree::agree::agree:
Looks stunning mate... very jealous.. you going to get some side decals :)
Yes sir, looks lovely. :agree:
Cheers for comments guys :agree:
R5 is still rough round the edges and it needs all the paintwork flattening and then machine polishing but ive set out and done what I wanted to which was get a standardish looking r5 with a few engine mods!
Hopefully next year will get the replacement boot on and get remainder of the paintwork sorted but that alldepends on available £'s.
Anyone on here a good detailer who could sort my paintwork out?
Finally November 2010

That looks fantastic! Mate, just read through your thread and I gota say great work fella:agree:
Why Why Why do i always sell the good ones lol, great result buddy.
Now sold to Andyturbo!
Am happy the car has stayed in the club and from what Andys told me she will be looking better than ever next year!
Cheers must go to Jon (5279) as without his help I would have never got the R5 to standard she is now!
Almost shed a tear when Andy drove her away!
James
Few pics from final day of R5 ownership :(
At least she will be kept in a garage now!
