Dont smooth it, dont look right, get it lolor coded

 

[jesus]

Get it smoothed! I saw you the other day btw in Bury, was in the Ibiza so you wouldn't have noticed :rasp:

 

[clio_andy]

Most will say CC i think, but i'm gonna say smooth it, i think they look good. Especially this one:

 

[Nickharding]

Thumbs down to the wheels though imo

Went past the Rammy turning though :rasp: where abouts is that breakers?

Go for it with the smoothing man, do the doors too and get some of the replica sideskirts.

 

[rbolton]

were gonna do the doors but cant afford to get it sprayed cos they wanna do the whole side of the car to blend it in. that breakers yard is at the back of the good samaritans pub

[Phill90]

I would colour code it m8, how the black clio does look sweet with the smoothed bumper

 

[Jordi17]

leave as is, looks much better with black against silver

you were right most said cc. i agree with you n this one mate. really like it not to sure on the shoes though. should i leave the badge or smooth that off aswel

 

[rbolton]

decided now that the front bumper trims are off now, that i'm going to smooth it, going to be a challenge

 

[clairemae]

will look good smoothed!

I wouldn't be so confident about that mate...

 

[rbolton]

i'm also having a crack at smoothing the rear bumper to. but for now just going to get the front 1 out of the way. nnot guna rush it all. once this all done, hope to be able to get some pennys to fund the porsche d90's and hub adapters, and have a try at refurbin alloys.

take the front trim off and smooth it, then CC it and put it back on

 

[rbolton]

dont really get what your sayin:S you got an example mate

 

[st3ve]

Depends what sort of theme your after, personally I prefer less is more/subtle mods so I would say CC it but if you wanna go for the euro look then do the smoothing, entirely up to you at the end of the day.

 

[Megzy]

smooth it

 

[BIFCAIDS]

its hard to explaine mate ill go on Photoshop tomorrow and post it up, im thinking about doing it on mine but leaving it grey, as you can buy textured paint

 

[rbolton]

well want the euro look so guna have to smooth it to get that look then.

 

[rbolton]

right the trims are off. so its the choice now to smooth or cc. what do i do. i no what i want do but is it goin to be worth it?

 

[Jason_E]

Be different... Trim in gloss black? Against the silver will look good imo.

 

[rbolton]

what even if im goin for the euro look?

 

[Aluco]

Will look great once the filler has cracked

 

[rbolton]

im guna use fibre glass

 

[Jason_E]

Euro look means smooth it! But its plastic so as said above isnt the filler not as flexible as the plastic, therefore crack?

 

[jesus]

Smooth.

 

[Jason_E]

So your jesus now. LOL.

 

[Aluco]

im guna use fibre glass

Fair enough I don't understand this euro guff

Track **** for me anyday !

 

[rbolton]

fibre glass has some flex in it.

 

[JCC]

If you take it off, smooth it all together, then try to put it back on it will probably crack. You still need to put filler over the top of fiberglass.

 

[rbolton]

yeh but only a thin layer.

 

[Aluco]

Sounds like a lot of hassle as opposed to rubbing doon some plastic and spraying it !

 

[JCC]

That means the flex of the fibreglass is irrelevant because you have to put filler over the top - the fibreglass will just flex and crack the filler that's on top of it. If you're going to do it, smooth it whilst it's on the bumper.

 

[rbolton]

yeah that was my plan.
