Coming along nicely sir,
Black and red does work well for a car.
-
it was either red or yellow, i was torn between the two but decided on red. I think yellow might have been a bit too brash with the black on a white car. i may spray the dish up as i dont know if i can be bothered to keep sanding and sanding and sanding…..... i was thinking of some chrome spray but it will turn out silver so maybe a metalic colour of some sort would look good. any suggestions? or just several coats of chrome spray lol
-
I love those rims!!! Red looks GoooooooooooooD! i think the dish in chrome will look 8)
-
chrome spray usually looks wank. I think those deserve to be polished! And don't lacquer the polished lips, it just chips and looks sht after about 5 miles.
-
Defo on the pro polishing, itll be worth it in the end :D
-
ok ok lol, any reccommendations on a good chrome polish that wont cost me the earth. I took a bit more time on the next too wheels and sanded the dish right down (going to try some brasso for a min to take a pic). I used to have some metal polish in a squeezy tube that i used to polish up old stainless backboxes before selling and it was bloody brill but i cant remember what it was called
-
Probably Autosol ? used it to polish my header tank.
-
that would be the stuff!! bloody brilliant thanks, will pick some up tomorrow :)
-
sorry for the delay in replying, was finishing off lacquering the last two wheels ;)
-
paint turned up today. super quick delivery and a massive thanks to gulfy for helping me out and saving me a few quid too :) cant believe it only took one day from the isle of man :D
-
'ISLE OF WIGHT' :D :wink:
-
lol close enough pmsl. thanks bud, seriously appreciated. havent even sanded the bumper down yet haha
-
No worries, shame I don't live near as I would have sorted paintwork out for you in a day
-
Rims are on :mrgreen: and bumper has been sprayed (very badly, it got dark and i was using a solar powered light pmsl) will take some pics once i have washed it. I delocked and debadged the boot but i do need to sand it all down and spray it again as there was more filler left on than i thought (again, it was dark) but it looks better than it did.
-
new pics :D
-
love the de badged look, shame there is no simple way to remove that finger grab part below it, i usually just pull up on the spoiler to open the boot anyhow.
-
lookin good Bro, wheels do suit it nicely :D
-
need to get her low now but starting to take shape and looking good :D
-
de badge looks great fella and wheels look great too
-
trust me, the pictures do it justice lol. going to respray the bumper again in a min (if you look on the bottom pic you can see still see the primer) and there is alot of filler left on the boot but that can stay like that until after the show. thanks guys, defo need some lower springs on there, i think the shocks are stiff enough to cope with some lower ones. then all that is left to do really is a new lump :D
