tbf, they look tat because the roof is nice and clean and the car hasnt been washed for a while. when ive got some back to black on the black parts it will match more.
as said before, carbon bonnet is heavier than what i already have so...
Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction
black roof done, only got it back today and dont have my proper camera at the moment so s**tty pics will have to surfice
im now thinking the orange cage may be a bit ott :s
i had a really stubborn part and left the heatgun on the one spot for too long and on the hottest heat (550*c) it cooked it. ive done most of the other tar in the rear quarters and boot with no problems at all

i used the black wheels on the road and the tic tacs on track, not sure how s**t it will look with the track wheels and black roof.
i managed to burn the paint while stripping the tar off the inside of the roof, it looked as if...
well, the roof was damaged and needed painting anyway, and it was cheaper to have black than matched silver.
i think it looks great, the pictures on my phone however...... poo. I'll get some done on the weekend with my proper camera
im surprised you guys have let it out this soon, i was expecting to see the thread after xmas tbh!
fair play to you, Tony and Danny with the effort put in, cant wait to see the semi-finished article and be your pit b**ch mmmmmm

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction
i was hoping to get the dished one originally. now the flatter one is fitted and as i cant move the seat even if i wanted too, the dished one would be way too close for me. would feel like i was Mario in one of his karts lol
black spoiler it is then, that...

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction
i thourght it was going to be easier to wrap, but everyone is either expensive or gay around here.
at least the spray painter man was enthusiastic about it, and at that price, if it looks tat i can still paint it another colour and still cost less than one...
have been keeping an eye on this thread, very interesting read. the rebuild is the part i like, its when it starts getting interesting.
really off topic, do you have a white BMW 3 series with private plate?
Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction
i was thinking boot, bonnet and roof, but may be too ott really. the boot has a few marks where i reversed into the garage too quick and hit the bikes :-/
at the price im paying, it wouldnt be much to get the rest done at a later date. not sure which shade of...
Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction
mmmm black roof is happening sooner than expected. got a price of £250 + vat and £400 + vat locally for a matt black vinyl.
