Maz · Apr 5, 2006

Nice work Mark

car looks stunning

Remedi · Apr 5, 2006

Love the badge! looks ace.

If i'm be honest i don't like the no. plate surrounds.

You car looks mint anyway, love the white rims

Adam_C · Apr 5, 2006

Very cool...wing mirror bases in carbon fibre next? lol

Middo · Apr 5, 2006

^ sadly not. just having them pearl black'd.

the carbon backing was essential due to holes right at the edges due to the larger number plates. in real life its nowhere near as apparent as in the pics, so kinda cool.

I love carbon :approve:

When you described what you were having done with the number plates reccesses in another thread I really couldn't picture it. The rear looks awesome, but not sure about the front, I think the front plate needs to be cut down so that its thinner than the carbon fibre backing.

Da · Apr 5, 2006

Looking good Mark, who's the goon behind the wheel? :clown:

:rasp:

clio__chris · Apr 5, 2006

bonnet looks lovely!

not keen on the renault badge or number plates personally

cliomadness · Apr 5, 2006

looks great Middo, very original!

Middo · Apr 5, 2006

i'm the goon behind the wheel

been out to the car, and the numberplates lying in the road as the adhesive isnt strong enough to hold the weight of itself, and the numberplates. as such going to order some standard sized plates and have all the writing quashed up into the middle like it is currently.

pain in the arse as i was quite liking it, but is better than resorting to resin and all sorts on the paintwork itself :dapprove:
not to worry, as im sure the carbon will come in handy for my next projects

M1TCH · Apr 5, 2006

Looks nice, didnt like the carbon plate surrounds but as you said they dont look the same as in the pictures, I guess thats just the sun catching it so I'd probably like it

Middo · Apr 5, 2006

^ they'll be off tomorrow anyway

ive already started measuring things to cover tho lol

cliomadness · Apr 5, 2006

Middo, can you not get really good double sided tape that car showrooms use?? That's used to hold a full number plate on so your size number plate shouldn't be a problem surely???

stoddie · Apr 5, 2006

good one mate!

the only really good tape i've found is slightly raised (as its like a foam) therefore the carbon wouldnt sit flush with the paint and wouldnt look right. in all honesty i think the full size plates will look just as good, if not better lol

Giles · Apr 5, 2006

Looks good Mark!

Middo · Apr 5, 2006

^ dont fancy coming round and giving it the giles treatment do u

Christopher · Apr 5, 2006

lol!

Your car is looking nice!

What about the rear badge?

Middo · Apr 5, 2006

chris - u do indeed, always seem to miss u for some reason, still havent got round to having a proper look around the minter

giles - i cant do the rear badge as i cant remove it 9prob can but its too much of an arse lol) . Also its not made out of the same sort of cheap plastic as the the front badge so i get the impression it'll cost me a lot of money for a new one if i mess it up!

clio head · Apr 5, 2006

looks spot on that dose mate... i like it alot!

GarethM · Apr 5, 2006
