yep those will do it, don't let me tell you how your car should look though mate! I just like the look of the car with the std wheels on that's all.

It's just my opinion :proud:

Lol too right, you can all see my lovely bodge jobs :)


Naw, im kidding. I've started spraying the inside of the car now, there's one coat that needs to go on the front and then that's ready to be tcut and waxed. I simply covered my doors/doorcards in black spray paint and it looks awesome, looks just like black leather.

Oh and i've got my tan leather seats coming soon :proud: Think i'll be able to spray them black? :(


Oh and to sprite, im not going to be laquering it as the paint is gloss anyway and i cant really afford it!

WELL DONE LAD! ^_^ :withstupid: :angel:

Nice results!!! Those front wings look proper nice too! :P

Next stage i would say would be to build up a good few layer of polish... and then wax it a few times. then it'll shine like a brass monkey!

Chicky this is great stuff mate, it's a real credit to you and you should be incredibly pleased with the results. I know i'd be over the moon! ;)

So what's the plans now then???
