Cheers mate, sorry i dint reply to your text, didnt see it till after work and forgot to reply :zainy: Yeh definately worth it, took a lot of patience though.. will put a guide up soon. Basically I fibregalssed behind the holes i cut, then skimmed some filler on top, sanded down and resprayed. Yours sounded throaty as ever when you blasted past WIlco the other day :y:

No worries mate, the paint looks a perfects match, hard to get it looking the same? u should start up a lil business, sure youd get fair bit of interest, loadsa people want them, and for a diy 1 yours looks perfect! yea love the sond of the 2" supersprint, not as loud as my old supersprint but still sounds gorgeous and pops more :)..
the new pics loook very nice, where they taken? and love the 'get low' sticker haha

TonyCouchman 14th March 2010 23:05

As the people say that car really looks fantastic, lovely 2 tone paint

Saxo-SX 14th March 2010 23:09

Nice to see somthing different.

Mauritius blues one of my favourite colours, along with wicked red.

Like the dog sticker aswell, never seen that before.

Update
 
Haven't updated in a while but there's a few little changes so had a photoshoot today











jdizzy 20th May 2010 17:10

Looking good man :) the rim tape coif of been a tad darker but each to there own I guess :)
looks really clean tho matey :y:

benJee_VTR 20th May 2010 19:58

Yeah man, unfortunately that was the only shade of blue, but im really glad how it cam out :)

Ive currently got some std mirrors which ive smoothed and gloss blacked, but im stuck on the mirror caps. May possibly spray them mauritius blue with a design in the same colour as the rim tape..but nor sure yet! :y:

benJee_VTR 20th May 2010 22:20

Few more pics from my phone.. these arent photoshopped, just how they came out!



benJee_VTR 20th May 2010 22:26

Got some progress on the mirrors too:









Giving them a few more coats, then wet flat and lacquer, then buff them up :y:
Still waiting on a design for the caps.

DanViner 26th May 2010 19:31

personally i preferred the multispokes on it but to your own taste,
mirrors look good thats how i did mine
where did u get your vt? badges from ???

benJee_VTR 26th May 2010 20:33

Thanks mate yeah i liked the multispokes when i had them, but they were curbed to shit (Prev owner :P) and i fancied a change.
I got the vt? badges from another kit i bought, but theyre also available from http://www.saxo-door-badges.co.uk/

benJee_VTR 16th June 2010 12:38

Thanks mate, i think the colours go better now ive done away with the old silver grill and lowered it.

I got the badges off a vt kit i bought lol, but i think there are 2 different badges...ones which look a bit like VTP and some which are identical to the standard ones just with VT?.

aedan165 19th August 2010 18:42

aedan165 19th August 2010 18:42

benJee_VTR 25th November 2010 21:50
