Csljoe's CSL

[csljoe]

Hi everyone

I've just recently joined upafter being told about the register by Roy of ca-automotive, so thought id say a quick hello, I'm joe, from Hinckley (Leicestershire)and i purchased my first CSL around 6 weeks ago, after being taken out in a friends, i was bitten by the bug, and now i have one im absolutely blown away by it, the power and the sound is immense, it's such an awesome car, as you all know. Hope to meet some of you soon at a show/meet, or maybe even the ring, anyway here are some pics.

I recently picked my csl up from a local bodyshop as i've had my numberplate holder removed, screw holes filled and bumper resprayed, and am thrilled with the result, i've also recently bought a carbon fiber gear leaver surround and have also ordered a few more bits from ca-automotive. will update you when they arrive.

Joe :)

Lovely car Joe!
Where did you get the respray done and how much? I'm only a few miles from you in Warwick.
Have tried Dr. Colorchips paint on some some chips but frt bumper is peppered.
Looks great w/out reg. Some photos on Mtorque with small reg stickers; look good.

Thanks Joe,
How much & how long did they have the car for?

[csljoe]

Hi gsr, They origionaly quoted me 300.00 but i then asked them to buff my boot as it had some scratches/marks from the previous owner that i was'nt happy with so after having those sorted it came to 350.00. They had the car for around 4 days i think, best to give them a ring and ask for Paul and tell him Joe Klenk gave you the number.

Hi guys

Little Update

Fitted my Parts that i've been waiting for from CA over the weekend, and although there was quite a wait, i have to say it was worth it. I received a Carbon 3 piece dash trim, steering wheel cover and eibach spacers ( 10mm and 15mm) also longer wheel bolts and locking wheel nuts (sent me 2 sets for some reason lol) :hahaha: so as the weather was reasonable over the weekend, i got them fitted, and im so happy with the result, the spacers make a big difference i think, and love the carbon, also while the wheels were off i decided to give them a little clean, anyway let me know what you think.

Sorry pics are'nt brill.

Joe :-D

The Spacers make the car look wider and the wheels fit the arches :thumbs:

The carbon parts look cool just like my CSL :thumbs:

[Andyk]

Love it.....car looks very mean.

What effect does the spacers have on the car as far as driving it? It certainly looks great. :thumbs:

[glendog74]

Nice one csljoe - car looks sweet! :-D

I've just received most of my carbon parts from CA Automotive. I have the same as you minus the steering wheel cover as well as side gills and kidney grills. Will post some pics when i pull my finger out to actually fit them!

[csljoe]

Cheers for the comments guys :thumbs: look forward to seeing the pics glendog.

Joe :-D

[Bealo]

Looking good Joe

I really like the cleaner front end.

Car's looking really sweet. :thumbs:

[gsr]

Joe, great minds think alike!!!
Put the same spacers on as you. Certainly make the arches fill out better with no cons to ride. Improve handling on track.
Have ordered the 3-pc dash set too from CA; still await delivery.
As you have a spare set of extended locking bolts, fancy selling them?
Still planning to respray frt bumper.

Cheers for the comments guys :thumbs: Joe :-D

Joe - you selling the CSL already? I just seen it in all its immaculate glory on Pistonheads... :smt107

[csljoe]

Hi Glendog soz for the late reply. yup it is now for sale :bigcry: . i would love to keep the car but im just not using it enough, i only get to use it once a week if that, and its such a shame for it to sit there. Not had a great deal of interest as of yet, but thats probs due to others advertising there csl's for less that 30k.
