Back on road with a couple of little mods

[Curley]

During my short ban i got around to painting the grilles, fog surrounds and rear bumper insert.

Whipped all 4 wheels off and got them spotless and protected with SRP, EGP x 2 and Poorboys wheel sealant x 2

Topped up my calipers with another coat of silver.

Also, replaced my broke cup splitter () with a ph1 Megane splitter, i wasnt too sure about doing this but it really does suit the front end.

Id recommend seeing it in the 'plastic' to make your mind up about it.

50/50

The light catches the corner making it look a bit dodgy in that pic ^

And one for the road

Yeah, satin black and 2 light coats of lacquer. I wasnt too sure if i should go with gloss.. i think i made the right choice though.

what you could do is just use the satin black from a rattle can on it and just top it up when it starts to flake. that what i would do to be honest bud. if it is going to flake anyway there is not much point really. just make sure you mask it up nicely and cover the whole front of you car to stop any overspray getting on that nice paint work.
