My Air Filter Im Going To Get


I shall have some pictures of the car at the end of next week :cool:



Some other things that i need to do:

- Debadge
- Dewiper
- Laquer
- New Bonnet
- Performance Chip
- Exhaust (Or exhaust tip for now :P)
- Alloys

So much to do, so little time (and money)

[rob_s]

wouldent bother with the induction kit mate,get a k&n one or an enclosed one as that will just make it slower than it already is and will just give off sound
mate had one on his 1.1 and it sounded alright but he said it was slower with it,so put his std airbox back on n just baught a std k&n replacement filter,he said its much better!

[Scootymad]

Oh... do you know where i can get a k&n replacement filter??

[106Tom]

one word ARGOS the do ss backbox's now lol

Them air filters are crap there tiny if its on carbs witch im guessing it is get a k&n mushroom filter and put in on top ov the carbs.... wat a sound they make!!

[*l3ah06*]

I used to work for argos n sell them, the amount we had brought back was stupid lol. check ebay for the k&n filter, thats where i'm gonna get mine from when i've got me some cash!!

[Scootymad]

Will do, definately before the september national meeting

Comments??

[peedee]

Like the aerial mate.

How much was it?

Not too sure on those colored seat covers. Black would look better and more subtle imo.

[Scootymad]

Lol. I got the aerial for £10 inc p&p.

I preferred the red tbh

[Dan C]

Woooooooo

[James.G]

Woooooooo


enough said.

tbh mote, i wouldnt bother with the little things first, they will make it look tacky.

wait save up then spend your money on somthing decent.

thoes filters are utter shite 'max power' says it all.

And an exhuast tip? even a back box is better than that and you can normally find one kicking around on ebay fairly cheaply.

[Wizza]

I do like the interior... I want one of those areials for myself... Do they come in black???

[ZestDeux]

yer wizza get on ebay im gonna get one at some point this week

[Scootymad]

Right. I have plans in place and in the next few weeks im going to code my side strips.

At least if i f**k up on them i can get some new ones cheap... then onto the bumpers and wing mirrors :D

And i have some better pictures aswell :p

Sorry about the long post :o

[rich106]

a few suggestions lower it and some nice alloys mate rather than the litle bits well worth it looks a nice clean example of a 106 tho.

[Scootymad]

I will get round to that when funds allow. Although i've got 2 mopeds to fix and when their done and sold i will be up about a grand in which time it will be lowered with alloys... and a 4 stud conversion.

[Scootymad]

Well... My membership pack arrived :D:D

Extremely happy about that... here is a couple of snaps :p

[QT106]

you have the same seat covers as me m8, only mine are blue lol. dont you just love the designs of 106 seats :P, u probably wana get them mardi gras stickers off next :P

[M1K3Y_P]

2 of my mates have got dem seat covers including mats to, makro for £17 wer they? if your just after doing small things for now then i reckon a set of DTM mirrors would look good on it, then you could colour code them.

[Wizza]

I'm still waiting for my membership pack!!!

[Scootymad]

The plans are to get rid of the mardi gras stickers next... and i was thinking about some dtm mirrors :p

[106degg]

that was the first i did to my mardi gras, got rid off the lovely stickers up the side. mum wasnt to happy using her hair dryer, lol. im after modding my 1.4 D mardi gras, performance wise, any body know what is the cheapest thing to do first???

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Desktop/DSC00287.JPG

Also selling the alloys if any body interested??

[Nick106]

Scooty! Stop wit the small mods and get on with the proper 1s!

[Scootymad]

Im planning the bigger picture!! :p

[Nick106]

[gazz]

[Smiff]

Looks alryt to me, but yer get some alloys and lower it... did you actually colour code it in the end?

[Wizza]

^^^LMFAO Gazz!!!

What's your plan Scooty!!!

[ZestDeux]

LOL!! ^^

if u lowered it, put some alloys on it, it would look pretty gd i reckon, its nicer than i thought :p

take that in a good way...

[Scootymad]

Lol. I will lower it and get akkiys when funds allow!!

And i never did get round to the colour coding... no time to...

[Scootymad]

thats a tidy lil motor, as soon as you loose the badges off the car and whack some rims on it makes it look so diff, here is mine after i put the new rims on

makes so much difference, mines a dodgy 1.1i Mardis Gras, joys of 3-stud wheels, not even lowered in those pics
