Thanks Ant, i got the paint from halfords, the one with the fan nozzle that they mix up for you, used clear coat too to give it a nice gleam

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

Ahh nice! I never knew halfords mixed paint up? Is it reasonably priced?

This is the stuff I'm looking at....

Hi mate, the bite point etc is easy to get used to, although it is a little noisy imo, its to be expected tho, it is a race clutch.

Thanks pal, yours looks mint, love your carbon interior parts and snappy wheel.

Nice mate, i cant imagine how quick this will be, mine feels really quick with 270hp, the clutch is about the only thing that takes some getting used to, its the noise it makes tbh, i like no rattles and bangs, because if i hear them i think theres something wrong lol.

 

[Mr Plums]

Added stickers to my interior parts today and gave them a final coat of lacquer..

I know what you mean, when you lift off it sounds like something isn't meshed up right. Just the way they are. If you rev it as you lift up it doesn't do it

Mine rumbles and vibrates when the gearbox is under load, below 4k at half throttle, does yours?

 

[Mr Plums]

God i bloody love this car now, its soooo much fun, its capable beyond its widest dreams!

Loving it!

 

[Mr Plums]

I decided to give the interior a clean today, shampoo'd, hoovered, all trims and leather etc treated, i also fitted my painted interior plastics the other day which i think look quite good, heres a couple of pics, sorry about the quality it was a bit dull.

Heres a couple of quick pics i took of the bay earlier after a quick wipe over with a qd, i am going to give all the pipes/chrome a polish tomorrow and add a bit of rubber and trim restorer to the hoses/plastics etc to bring them all up perfect..

Thanks for reading.

 

[dann2707]

Haha this looks awesome bro. After seeing how well your trims came out from Halfords I went and bought some paint for mine today, got talking to the lad and cheekily got him to put the paint through as fitting a headlight and wipers instead of paint! £10

Thanks Dan, you cheeky b*****d :tongueclosed: it cost me 14 knicker!

It does go on better with the fan nozzle too, im sure the paint had a mix of lacquer in tho so be careful when painting, make sure its still tacky when you give it a clear coat or the paint might react, unless you are sanding in between each coat of course.
