If you are around Brum, ask here for a quote, my friends use him and he is really good and very cheap.

Unfortunately I need the car before I'm back in Birmingham, I've decided on Gloss Anthracite.

Now I need to decide what colour to go for on the 2118s, I reckon black or shadow chrome...

Gloss anthracite wrap? Or spray?

 

[Alex Conway]

Gloss anthracite wrap due to budget. My toyo R1Rs came today that and got a bit more done. Just the boot, rear bumper and one rear quarter to do now.

 

[Alex Conway]

Few bits coming together now, just went to pick the wheels up but they they'd just come out the oven so I'll grab them tomorrow. I'll say one thing though, they looking bloody amazing! Really dark glossy anthracite, google hyper black and you'll get some idea. Just really annoyed with myself that I forgot to grab a picture!

I haven't even seen that much Cheers for sharing! Where in herts are you based? You've gotten me all excited!

Just got the wheels back

I'm really happy with the finish, shame I have to go back and get one of the rotations switched round

 

[Alex Conway]

Couple of pictures from the wrappers, so excited to get the car back! Should be tomorrow.

Jobs to do when i get it back;
Spacers
Wheels
Rear badge
Replace wing mirror
Restore the plastics with G|Techniq C4

Slightly more long term;
Remove tints
Replace broken exhaust surround(s)
Cooksports
Paint calipers

 

[Jonnio]

Minus the tints and with your decent wheels it will look loads better!

Are the rear lights tinted or aftermarket? Either way getting rid of them would be on my list too.

 

[Alex Conway]

I have no idea but they're disgusting! Unfortunately probably going to haunt me for another month due to exams

To clarify, the calipers will go black to hide their ugliness!

 

[Matt26]

Looks better already!

​I love the colour! I'm going to keep an eye on this one

Colour looks awesome! Glad she is getting back to looking decent!

Are you suggesting she didn't look decent before

Hi mate

Love the wrap!!

If you don't mind me asking.. how much did that cost and where did you get it done?

I've just bought a second 172 Cup (track), the paintwork definitely warrants a bit of love!!

 

[Alex Conway]

It's getting done at DBS Autotech in Welwyn Garden City, I checked out them and one other place before hand. The other place seemed really sketchy in comparison while these guys seem to strip the car down quite a bit and were just a lot more professional in general. It's costing me a grand. The lads there are a good laugh as well!

 

[Alex Conway]

Tease, will finish tomorrow

 

[jesus]

Brilliant! A totally different car.

that looks great (rear lights not a fan but its your car)

I've already said I want to change them

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Loving the colour looks spot on, not sure I'd pay a grand to have a car wrapped but fair play to you because the result looks great.

​Given the state the car was in before I have no regrets!

 

[jesus]

Speedy progress! Looks the nuts :approve:

 

[Martin.]

Love the look of that. Apart from the rear lights (but you've said you want to change them anyway)
