If you are doing the roof red why not do the badges and other things red too so it all blends right in?

Looks nice though, how many miles?

[joeybop]

i knwo i was thinking that but not sure if the bages would look good in red just thinkin of the roof and wheels

and its about 75 i think just under only paid 650 and it was from billingham

[joeybop]

right i havent updated in a while and i havent really done much :homme:

so all i have done so far is spend most my dosh getting it throught the MOT so today i decided i would get a bit done just sprayed the front and rear bumper gloss black

got it all masked off

Its your car that i saw that made me do my bumpstrips. Its a nice car and very clean like it alot :)

[VTRenz]

Did you just primer straight over the top of your bump strips bud? And how many coats?

Looking nice and tidy mate - And not 'chavved' up! :A:

[joeybop]

I sanded them a bit but the grit was to large so doesnt look as smooth as it could will probs do it again soon but yeah just prime and paint no laquer.

[Mrjayware]

Painting those bumper half made a good difference :y:
