[glenn_adam_doble]

[BennWilson]

Sounds like it will look great! Keep us updated on this one ;D

 

[theduck]

What exactly will be carbon? Am still not sure about matte red...

 

[prince_zorro]

Front splitter
Rear bumper strip
Exhaust surrounds
Diamond sign...and the side bullets..

 

[Adamm.]

Reminds me of red oxide primer. Will be interesting to see it finished.

Nothing wrong with a bit of red oxide

Seriously though, I think it could look good

nahh...that's far away from oxide primer...i'll get better photo next time..with a real Camera

 

[Rob]

Interested to see the results of this.

 

[Tunst]

Needs carbon wings

 

[Jacko90]

Don't know how the matte car will sit with the glossy carbon fibre? But I'm intrigued and want to proven wrong!

Also, what's it going to be like to clean?

 

[danzel]

I'm interested to see how this will look!

 

[prince_zorro]

Needs carbon wings

already ordered one

 

[ElkWorks]

I can get a matte. Into which in theory. Could make any colour matte. Matte monaco or LY anyone?

 

[prince_zorro]

LY...for sure...

 

[prince_zorro]

More updates.....hopefully car will be ready in two days

 

[Eddie.]

I've toyed with the idea of doing matte RB (wrap) on mine

Still might one day...

 

[Inequality Street]

How much is this costing you?

 

[prince_zorro]

it's almost 1 k....

 

[Sanders]

Looks like a 172 raider nice mate

 

[James105]

Could look good. Be interesting to see the finished product.

 

[StealthClio]

this will either look totally s**t, or absoloutly epic when its done...unfortunally i dont have the imagination to see it yet, but hats off to you. looking forward to seeing the finished article

 

[prince_zorro]

more photos, with more updates....still waiting for the final assembly to get some Real camera photos..

 

[sladen1720]

Hats off to you for trying something new mate. are you going for gloss black trims on the rear bumper insert/renault badge/side strips etc as that may help to pull it all off

 

[Eddie.]

Looks like red primer atm, but if finished properly it might look amazing! Can't wait to see it.

 

[Scrooge]

I quite like that.

 

[leeds_182]

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

 

[daveski]

I like that.

 

[prince_zorro]

more photos....car is a bit dirty and the lights in the garage makes it hard to see the real color....Still some work to be done....
what u all think?
i know that some clio fans won't like the rear spoiler...but i like ittttttttt...

 

[Jamie_182]

actually quite like the colour, bet it will look epic in the sun rather than under garage lights.

hats off to you for daring to be different!

not a massive fan of the spoiler but if you like it thats all that matters

looking forward to see some proper pics with it cleaned up!

[Final Maxim]

im trying to like it, but i just cant. looks like its awaiting a couple coats of laquer

 

[Jake007g]

I think your fog surround will need to be carbon too!

 

[Brookie.]

To me personally it looks like a Trophy that's been washed with sandpaper.

However that might just be the photo's. I'll await proper finished photo's under daylight.

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

:S Why didnt they strip off the mirror caps, and seperate the handles to spray them.

Matt on a full car will be a bit of a nightmare, you'll never be able to polish it without special compounds. Is that a single stage? or a base coat and dull coat lacquer?

 

[Final Maxim]

guessing it will be a high solid 2k with a matting agent

 

[syko6288]

looking good but i think the diamonds need to be carbon or black to pull it off

 

[prince_zorro]

i'm getting this product to polish it...
