cf splitter would be a bonus

 

[Tyssen]

Callipers would look better if wheels were black

 

[adamlewis01]

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.

The front diomond i sprayed black. Still cant decide if i like it or not.

Before and after washing today.

Before:

After:

Im on my second set of these at the moment. They are currently LY with black detailing but i was thinking of going glacier white with black detailing or the other way around...

Opinions needed.

Cheers adam.

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.

Waiting for a few parts to arrive this week including:

Cabasse radio
OEM rear lights
ABS ring

C&C welcome

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.

 

[adamlewis01]

cheers mate, yer the coilies really improved the look. With regards cc'ing it just takes time and patience id say.

 

[alex-avfc]

I reckon leave those new bullets standard, or spray them black with white lettering..subtle

Looks real smart though

 

[GarethM]

nice fella

 

[Jon.G]

Looks great mate! Makes me want to lower mine ASAP, its sitting like a Land Rover at the moment!

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

 

[BIFCAIDS]

gettin there bud, gonna have to sort me your number as you know ive sorted my car now
