Murdering out's been around for years mate!
I've done it to mine! Just waiting on wheels now!Looking good though mate, keep it going!
Yeah, that's what I was saying bud, but it wasn't called that until magazines named it that. I did my Civic matte black, with matte black wheels and matte black interior 3 years ago after seeing a Dodge Charger done like it 2 years prior to that. I'm not saying I was the fore front in this "scene" but after I had my car on a fair few forums, matte black cars seemed to be popping up everywhere in the UK. I wish I'd done my original idea and gone for matte poo brown.

matt black cars, first time I ever saw them was on Robocop as police cars, not sure if mad max's car was gloss or matt either

Exactly, it's not a new thing and the Interceptor is just knackered paintwork style. 8)

Until it rains and it looks like a rainbows skidmark

In the winter my DD becomes completely murdered out as I put on the winter rims/tires… they are flat black too! 8) Eventually I would like to do it proper with vinyl... but I'm happy for now.

Weight shedding and streamlining anyone? :lol:
(there's no mirrors on it BTW)
-
Why are there no mirrors?

Why are there no mirrors?
Easy, they cause friction in the air so cause drag, no mirrors = more speed :lol:
Nah, I'm spraying them and thought it looked cool without them :lol:
-
Ah,
I hate it lol. it looks too long in that shot, the mirrors break the car up.
What colour you spraying them?

Worked for the Rover 220 Coupe. That 150mph top speed the owners are always banging on about? Achieved by Rover in a car with no mirrors or mudflaps and with all the gaps taped up.

You serious Lori? You not been listening for the past couple of pages?
The bonnet and spoiler need re doing and after that, I'll have to stop or Mr. PoPo might not be too impressed with a "Silver" car running around being "black". I'll have to take the car off the road in the better months, bike to work and finish the job (and do the parts I have done already properly too :roll: ).
-
Yeah lol sorry man, got a lot on my mind right now :(

Trial fitment

LOL, up, down, up, down. This story has had more twists than an epic drama!

:cry: I've just been reading my old project thread on another forum about my Civic and it has truly inspired me to stop whinging like a bitch and get this car sorted out. It's given me a wake up call and judging by the responses I was getting from the old car, I have it in me to get this thing looking good.
Patience is the key (and a garage would help :roll: ), the strongest point of this car is the fact it can be driven legally (Has an MOT and a windscreen unlike the last project).
Keep watching folks.

We've all seen this picture before, but this time it's staying like this
(well, when I say staying I might mean, some more of it may be going)
