Nice motor but you need to get some smoked tail lights... those smoked ones look shite lol!

cheers. yer i know lol, my mate sprayed them gloss black, before we realised they were illegal! so i had to sand them down, creating the matt finish, and had to scrape off the paint where the main lights were. Im guna just use some white spirit n take the whole lot off - back to original n start again.

Got rid of the crappy rear lights, back to the originals now

Good move fella!

i liked the black ones tbh

the black ones were illegal tho, got pulled over on saturday nite, they were'nt bright enough + looked shite lol

Looks alrite.

cheers fpr the feedback guys, once i have a bit of money i'm gona get it lowered.

Taken shape nicely mate!!How low you going on your motor??

cheers saxokid, yours looks sweet aswell dude.

im thinking 50mm all round, should sit nice on 15s maybe an apex or spax kit....

Next stage plans
1. Lowered 50mm
2. Alloys
3. Tints or Manifold

How cum you didn't get a bodyshop to colour code it?

I find when spraying by hand the finish isn't shiny, it looks dull, is that the case with yours?

Not a bad effort though, from what i can tell! LOL

It looks ok. Just wanted to get rid of the grey. If i could afford it, would have probably taken it to a bodyshop.

saxo vts black...
 

Good paint job!! will look good 50mm all round bud!!....:y::y:

I know the feeling! £500 a month means i always have to do stuff myself!

Credit to ya for having the balls do it!

Exactly. Its a pretty good job to be fair, and i think it makes the car look a hell of alot different.

Car is on bricks atm

1. wheels are going black
2. calipers yellow
3. Sidetrim being coloured coded to match the bumpers

Update 5 - Wheels go Black, Calipers Yellow
 

Jacked the car up today, to start spraying. Put the car on bricks to spray the wheels



cleaned up the wheel



Let down the tyre and masked it up



Sanded the whole wheel with 240 wet and dry then 1200, till it was completely smooth and matt.



I then applied 4 coats of primer allowing 15 minutes between coats to dry



I am now letting the primer harden and will spray gloss black tomorrow.

good idea with the wheels i might try that is it hard work?
nice car aswell keep the pics coming!

yer, its loads of hard work lol, takes about 2 hours to sand down each wheel. shud be worth it tho.

Next stage


This is after 2 light coats of paint.
