2012 appearance plans

[dj2k21]

So I thoughts would start a thread for everyone to list their 2012 appearance mods plans to give everyone something to talk about and spread ideas throughout the club  s:) s:)

[dj2k21]

Ok so my 2012 appearance plans are as follows......

Remove veilside rear wing

Add APR GTC300 carbon wing

Veilside wheels widened on the rear

Remove veilside mirrors are they are completely useless

Add APR carbon mirrors

Remove veilside fuel filler door as its very flimsy and add mocal locking one from demon tweeks

Respray the hard top and my other black accent parts in Audi black as it appears a really deep black

Full respray something like that naraka team green coloured roadster in this link

Re do my colour coded interior bits in the same green

Finish the sound system also.

That's about it

Like the idea of this thread  s:) s:)  I dread to think of how many things I could thing of to put down in here haha.

For a start though I will be painting my wheels and callipers! Probably a dark smoked colour on the wheels and classic red callipers to match my interior.

Might get or make some Mongo style wind deflectors and maybe a big wind deflector behind the seats.

Maybe do something with the gear knob and or steering wheel as they are a little worn, but not sure.

Lastly I'll be messing with the HU, not so much for aesthetics but more for iPod compatibility...but it will change the interior I guess!

Well thats a start I guess...But I get the impression that there will be a whole lot more to come though  s:P s:P

My appearance plans are to save up and get a really clean facelift SMT. Low miler that I plan to keep long term. Makes sense to me anyhow.  s:) s:)

My plan (singular!) is to finally fit the TRD style rear spoiler that's been sat gathering dust in the corner of my living room for the last year!

Well... that's the plan. Financially speaking, it's towards the end of a very long list of "crucial" house/garden improvements  s:-( :-( s:-(

Good luck with that  s:P s:P  The way I've convinced my girlfriend that getting the MR2 is a great idea is by telling her i'll be taking her to lots of lovely restaurants in the country (so I can go drive on some nice roads every weekend  s:P s:P  )

Oh also remembered I might get a Screaming Chicken Badge!

[Curlytoppz]

Really want to put the quad or twin exhaust system on this year.  Also want to change the TTE spoiler onto my own engine lid as it is in far better condition than the one I bought it on.  Other than that I am happy with my Rosie now  :-) :-) :-)

Oh and I still have the David style bars in the garage from last year   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:    They will either need to go on or be sold.

>>>>>>>>> goes off on the hunt for Mr Custard   s:D s:D

[stargazer30]

Well 2012 for me;

1. Fit brace plate (okay not appearance   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  )
2. Put my nice new shiney alloys and summer tyres back on once the we hit march-ish
3. Paint correction if I can find a good detailer in the north east, have very bad swirling all over the car.

Im so jelous of everyone having major plans for the year  s:( s:(

I dont plan to do alot as ide like to get ust to driving the car first after only having owned a 106 all my driving life. Though i can not live without my music.

So Only plan i have is to fit my head unit. As its a flip out alpine screen im going to be putting it into the dash. Selling my current subs & amps with my 106 so il be looking for a whole new install build for 2012  s:D s:D

[dj2k21]

Zoe you should consider selling your flip out and buying a double din unit, in my opinion they look alot better, and also I think because of the shape of the dash the screen would be more or less vertical at its  maximum wouldn't it? And give a poor viewing angle ( when your parked with your handbrake on ofcourse ) lol

[Fatbloater]

I have a short shift kit to fit and I also may fit heated seats.
However I'm considering changing cars in March / April so might hold off, almost bought a 911 the other day, common sense prevailed, MR2 is as cheap as motoring gets.

oooh no way, i love my screen, i couldnt possibly do without it. I dont plan to put it where it should go, as your right, it wont open fully. Im planning to put it in the little space on the top of my dash. It may work it may not, il soon see  s:) s:)

Zoe a double din would give you more than likely a bigger screen, look alot more oem and generally work better, those flip up ones wear out normally due to the ribbon in the screen tearing.  Honestly it will suit a double much more  s:) s:)

[Zoe]

My headunit wasnt cheap and its lasted me a good 3 years, my other half also has an alpine unit and his had his about 7 years. So personally ide like to keep it as its a good head unit. Yes if it breaks il buy something else, but for now i dont have any problems with it, its easy to use with my ipod, and i like it.  Im in the middle of paying for this new car, i dont have a money tree growing out back for new luxurys LOL

Common sense Zoe! Good to see in this day and age, a bit of restraint. (Can you keep it going with shoes?)  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
