lol It's in Wickford, I wasn't working there today but colleagues where there.
Not yet, car is still sorn and at home. Bonnet and bumper still need wrapping but brother has been working abroad last week so hasn't had the chance.
This^
Or the lower grille?
Looking at it the sides will be a problem with trapped air, going to give it a go, if it doesn't work I'll just spray it black
Only a small update but gor the other wing mirror done

Ok so a few good pictures. Unfortunately once I put the bumper and lights back on, the car decided not to work and wouldn't start. only 9v coming from the battery. Earth problem? didn't work before but fixed itself once I stripped it so was happy.
Anyway as I couldn't drive it I've had to take a few pictures from inside the garage.

Looks awesome! Have you dipped the wheels yet? I can't tell from the photos
No not yet, going skiing tomorrow so will be done the week I'm back
Thanks. Yeah I was thinking that haha. I'll message you when I'm back lol.
Callipers and inlets are fine. Powder lacquer withstands up to 300, the dip is not affected.
Haha, happily, give me a shout when you are.
Right, I'm back and wheels should be going Carbon this week/weekend. And hopefully getting the alternator problem fixed.
Really want to get this finished for the south east meet on the 5th of April. Only MOT, TAX and Insurance to sort lol.

Do you do wheel refurbs? I need a price for my wheels. They're not overly bad, but have pitting on most of the spokes
We do indeed. what size are they? I can never remember.
Ahh right. £220 will get the you full Monty.
It's that time
Hey mate,
