Back on the road

[Mr 5]

after alot of head scratching,cut knuckles and cold days i gave up on the clio dash,deciding it was to much work for a guy like me in the winter in a back yard,

so got a new bumper,shortened the plate recess,removed the two holes in the bottom and smoothed the bump strips,also had to part paint the carbon bonnet,

i like the end result tho,also flocked aaaall the interior plastics,fitted a new seat and black carpet,oh and also repaired all the accident damage,including a new front mount and front panel from renault,got the car jigged but was still straight so that was one less hassle,anywho,pics ar up on my profile if any bodys interested

also re-did the turbines,orange with a polished face....did all 4 befor deciding the car wasnt bling enough to pull it off,so just painted them how they were befor ,doh!

[Big Steve - Raider]

Where did you get the stuff flocked & did it cost much??

[Mr 5]

DIY,got the flock and glue off the net,small parts are easy,big parts are a pain,company called SFS do a dash for £80-£100 tho if you dont want to try yourself,

just 'upping the photo's now,slow pc

[raj]

[Mr 5]

keep's it retro

[djinuk]

like that man, my plan was to do my turbines the same as them.. damn Btw dont ever ever go to sfs , they are shite, they did my friends escort dash,, it was a joke, it came back damn cream, and full of runs was crap , so he sent it back to a diffrent flocking place (central i think) and they redid it , in the mean time after lots of conflict he got his cash back from sfs

colour'd turbines rock! onto my 3rd colour change in a year.

and never actually seen sfs's work,just heard about them on a few vee dub sites, guess thats why there cheaper than most

[djinuk]

hehe dont you just no it, i think ive always had painted wheels, being black orange gunmetal and white :P

here are a few bits taken from my m8s escort thread

"so, dropped off before xmas, told i wud have it back before xmas. 7 weeks later, after numerous excuses of lack of materials, illness, courier mistakes, lost at couriers........ etc...... i finally got it back

please bear in mind this was supposed to be a week to do, with the main dash DARK grey, and the rest black

pics:

awesome colour selection mr suffolk flocking


perfect finish mr suffolk flocking, stevie wonder spec finish grade A

needless to say it went and came back mint from central flocking

[raj]

that looks spot on, djinuk do you have any contact details for central flocking.?

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

I agree, details please.....

[Mike Wilson@ PCS]

my dads best mate builds kit cars and does that flocking stuff i could see him if there was a few wanting some done , i could supply the parts on a exchange basis if that helps ?

[Misky]

Yeh same here! I found some kits on frost's website, various colours aswel!
Order mine at weekend I think.

I have had a few quotes to have my 5 dash done and you are really looking around the £210 mark.

I could have a go myself, bugger it up and source a 5 dash for less than that!
I know it is about quality.....but from the looks of it Mr 5 has done more than a top job!

[tonesGTT]

Love the finish! This is my favourite modified 5 by a country mile.

[Winston]

simply awesome and to such a high standard

[markey b]

yeah, id rather do it myself and have it not quite perfect, than pay loads and loads and have no satisfaction... lol

had a look on frosts site, but couldn't make sense of the colours, want black top, and simiar grey to the 16v dash for the grey bits... std with a twist

as for the 5 in the thread, makes me miss mine being tungy.. my fave 5 too

[Mr 5]

cheers for all the comments people,flocking realy isnt that hard to do,just takes patience and a keen eye

as for the car,got a few more subtle touches to do to it,then il leave it

also thanks to Winston for the seat,mighty compfy,light and supportive,best of all worlds

[Ashy]

Looking forward to seeing this on Sunday mate!
