Black dynamique Progress Thread...

Took some pics of it this morning but didnt manage to upload it. I will upload it tonight with progress on some other things.
 
Firstly to answer the above ^^ i did do a PS of the wheels black and the general response was that everyone prefered them staying silver.

Little update, just finished cleaning it today....used 2 bucket method and some AG shampoo conditioner, dried her down with the leaf blower and went over with microfibre cloth. Works for me lol.

A pic from the day after it snowed (monday or tuesday) i came out and found this pattern on my bonnet.

Opinions needed.

Cheers adam.
 
i think i said on the first page....it was roughly 80mm rear and 60-70mm front...could get wound down about another 40mm on front and 20mm on back though and thats without removing spacers
 
nice work, where did u get the airbag decal? im going to need one,

let me know how you go with spacers as i may be doing them for my cousin

Acquired a few parts off a NW lad quite some time ago. (can't remember who) reply with your name if it was you! R8 FTW maybe? Anyway they were already sanded down so that was a bonus because its a killer to ket these down smooth. primered a couple of weeks ago and coloured this weekend.

Looks fantastic adam realy improvement with the coilies.

How good are you at the colour coding? Is it hard? I think i'm going to have to re do my rub strips because ones damaged and was thinking of doing it myself.
 
I reckon leave those new bullets standard, or spray them black with white lettering..subtle

Looks real smart though
 
not bad, the trims need a wet-er thicker layer of laquer for that mirror finish.. dont spray too much if it gets too wet it will drip.. if theres not enough it would look hazy... hard to get but get it spot on and it would look spot on!
very nice btw keep it up

btw if it gets too wet just wait for it to dry completley then fine and it down (lots of water) to sand down the drip marks and then laquer it again
 
gettin there bud, gonna have to sort me your number as you know ive sorted my car now

I have now booked in with ATS Euromaster for next friday so hopefully the ABS will all be done for the NW meet next sunday. I am also currently lacquering my bumper inserts so hopefully if all goes well they will go on next week too.

Still waiting on CC'd Door handles (should arrive this week).
