Dunk's (aka EM1_Yo) Coupe build thread - officials

Ok so I've posted some bits an bobs here and there but thought I'd start a proper thread.

Have owned the car for 6 months now, this is where it started.



Got some ACT split rims for an absolute bargain (which helped as some dick left a nice rock in the road that trashed 1 of the BBS's)



bent BBS



Trial fit of the wheels with the 215/45/16's the were wearin



Pic from the Feb 7th meet now wearin 195/40/16's. Much better



So brings us upto date ish. Got hold of Powelly's flaps at the last meet !! Due to how low the koop sits they wouldn't actually go on as they were alredy on the floor So despite popular belief I managed to trim about an inch off Powelly's flaps (most people didn't think he'd got a spare inch)



They still catch the floor but I've decided to let the floor do the rest of the moulding into shape So while I was fitting the flaps I decided as the worst of winter has now passed I'd have a good clean up of the coilovers and in the arches etc and check all is in order







Glad to report all the coilies look fine, camber adjuster don't look siezed though will find out when it comes to tinkering with them !! I did find a broken anti roll bar drop link drivers side front so that needs sorting

As some of you may know I've been put on short time at work so the plans to get the wheels split, larger dishes and refurbed is on the back burner for a few months, I have however been doing some sticker bombing




Have done the front lip too but it's still in my living room !! Need to laquer and re-fit. Will update on Sunday when it's on

Sweet build, loving the sticker bombed petty cap..

I LOVE your Coupe man! Seriously clean and looks so sick on those ACT's!

Cheers Griff, Need to get the centre caps sorted and they'll look even better

hopefully the cap will tie in nicely with the front lip when it's back on. Was thinkin of doin the rear number plate plastic section aswel, what ya think ??

looks nice bud, they 2 peice or 3 peice wheels?

leave the caps off and run red nuts

sticker bombing is catching on, as youve had the same idea as me to do the front lip. hmmm looks sweet as

oh and quick warning on the flaps...contact with the ground with end up with the fronts rubbing through the paint................like mine did

didnt think d2's went that low, function 7 lca's.... OMG! can't wait to see the wheels with bigger dish, sittin hellaflush haha

my favorite uk coop

Ezza, the wheels are 3 piece

Skyrocket, If you knew the ball ache I've gone through to sort the centre caps you'd be puttin them on Will keep my eye on the mudflap paint situ

Cheers Cus yeah the D2's still got some in them if needed too !! An yeah Function 7's FTW

My sticker bombed lip

looks tidy mate. always like this car.

i like it!!! always loved coupes, since my mate used to own a clover green one

Long time no post !!

Well alot's happened including being made redundant but I have a job again and I got a fair payout so am sorting the coupe

Should have my wheels back soon so ignore the ones on the car at the min they will be my winter hoops

Picked up some genuine EK9 headlights



Car is in the bodyshop basically having a full respray bar the boot and rear bumper so should be all shiney for JAE









I have a few other bits an bobs coming, all will be revealed soon

Those were taken yesterday Ezza so I have no more lol.

Don't worry you lot will be the 1st to know

dude the rims painted yet?

Yes there painted and lips have arrived will be being built up next week so should have them for next weekend. I really can't wait to see them together as I've gone for it BIG time, I'm gonna be having a roll and pull of all 4 arches I reckon !!

good boy! Had my arches rolled and flared on the front last weekend

Yeah saw the pics from the meet, lookin sweet

Who did the arches, emperor ??

yeah mate

Good job ?? Paint all ok ??

no paint cracks at all. The passenger side is a bit of a mess dude to there being filler from a repair in the past but they didn't crack any paint.

cool, they use a heat gun to warm the paint I take it ?

yes
