Plenum! LOL

I think i've seen just about every spelling of that word on here.

It looks good though. Bright!

 

[Beef-Mc]

No bad.

 

[MICKSID]

lol, i cant spell it, never even heard of the word before.

camera isnt very good. its not that bright in real life. my plans are to go with white wheels to. think im going blue white style on the car. make it look fresh.

 

[MICKSID]

[B5 BDJ]

looks very nice, think you should do the writing in blue.

 

[Chris2007]

looks really good mate good work

 

[MICKSID]

really wanna do the writting in blue, but dont wanna ruin it, do people just do it with a paint brush and brush it on????

Did you spray the rest of it?? off the car or whilst the bits were still on there?

[Ian_182]

Good job.

Get some white wheels next

 

[Dee1983]

Very Nice

 

[Ben..]

hey, what paint did you use for the engine cover (ie. what brand) as i wondered what would be the best not to flake and peel from the heat of the enginge?

 

[Ross16V]

i really like that, but IMO the "renaultsport" lettering should be a different colour...

 

[MICKSID]

thanks for the comments.

yeah my future plans are

white lightweight wheels
white diamonds front and rear
white calipers (possibly)
some side white decals. unsure yet.

i just want it to look fresh and crisp.

i def going to paint the lettering. will have to get a touch up pen made i think. or what other colour do u suggest? i was going to try and keep a blue white theme.

as for the paint, i got it made up at my local paint shop. cost me £10.. not sure on brand, some german basecoat. best aerosol paint ive ever used!!!!
