Looks 10 times better mate! Suits the car nicely! Glad your happy with the paint work too! If you ever need any more painting done or know anyone else that does drop me a pm and il be happy to help :)
How flexable is the 3m di-noc? Just been looking at it on ebay. Its £19.99 for a sheet thats 1200mmx300mm. That would be nice to do my mirror covers, dash strips and any other little bits. Is it thin enough to heat up ans stretch etc...???
I have seen it in the past although now I cant find it!?
Im sure in the guide the chap matched the inlets to the gaskets though! This is what confuses me!!!! :S
Not for me personaly. I always think matt black looks horrible though! Whatever car its on, looks old and scruffy, even if its on a brand new car IMO. Id leave the car red :)
Lose the aftermarket headlights, bonnet spacers and the big hole in the bonnet and it will look mint IMO! Whats the paintwork like? Cant tell from the photos? Has it been painted well? I like the semi-smooth boot! :)
I've been thinking of doing mine for a while too! I was told not to match them to the gaskets though! Havnt got a clue why!? Maybe someone can explain why?
There's a guy that works at the vauxhall garage in horsforth who has a trophy. That will be the one you have seen going in and out of there. Don't think he's a member on here though??!
yeah il be attending. What's the dates so I can book it off work? I could look in other threads but cba! Lol
you can but they are smaller, I wanted them bigger. Also I wanted all the stickers in the same vinyl so they matched. OCD I know! :)
Me and my brother made them on his sticker machine, it was really hard to get them to sit perfectly flush and that's the best we could do with the programme he's got! tbh I think we did alright, unless you look close you can't tell, I'm pretty happy with the outcome anyway :)
If you look further back in my project thread you will see that the car stripped down to almost a bare shell :)
Bullets and exhaust next I think, then start on the interior plans listed earlier.
:S I have painted the inside of the car! The only bit on the WHOLE car that is still blue is the engine bay which will be painted once the engine is out - as it should be done! Half arsed! Come and see it, its no way near half arsed!!!!!!!!
I think the offset is 38, no spacers
Yeah, trying to find some black mesh for the lower grill, Plans for the interior would be Trophy trendlines, Alacantra roof lining and A pillars, Flocked dash, Boost gauge to match interior orange lights on A pillar.
They will be white with red lettering very soon :)
I havnt got to the...
Took some pics of the car today now its all finished. These pics are also in my project thread but I know some people dont look in the projects section so thought I would post them in here too :)
Comments appreciated, and remember apart from the charger I have done ALL the work myself! 1 year...
Oi oi oi! What's all this gay spam in my project thread! Lol!
I'm offended by it being called a DIY job! Personnaly whether I did it myself or not i'm a painter by trade so stand me if I'm corrected but I would call it a professional job!?
Anyway, exhaust is next and some small detailing...
OK people so its finally all finished! I have buffed it all again today and put a really nice layer of autoglym super resin polish on. Theres one or two stickers I have made to be put on and also the rear number plate to be stuck on (new plain plates front and back). I also plan on painting the...
I have next weekend off work and now my car is finished il paint it next sat/sun. If you drop me a pm with a contact number then il call you as soon as its finished. :)
