Cheers mate

Pugdan - Will be doing the doorcards in leather to match hopefully in time for FCS ;)

UPDATE - New skirt prepped up

Here's a few pics of my skirt after getting it for the bargain price of £12 at my local breakers ;)
Thanks to everyone else who tried to help here tho and offered me theirs :y:





Skirt being sanded and prepped for primering


Paint stipper used before this. Great monkey halfrauds products shown


Then wet+dry paper used from 800 grade upwards to about 1200 grit to ensure a smooth finish
for the primer to bond to


First layer of primer


Second then third layers of primer on and smoothed ready to paint


Sorry bout this last pic as its crap quality


2x300ml Grey plastic primer @ 5.49 = £10.98
1xpack Wet+dry paper assorted = £1.99
Paint stripper and some Isopon P38 + P40 for the bargain price of £3

Total spend today of £15.97 lol :P

Tommorow's plan is to go and see silver_saxo and get it painted up with some custom made up paint to match

Then give it 3/4 good layers of decent, deep + glossy lacquer

Will be fitted tommorow night and the car given a quick cleaning whore session for Sundays guilford meet ;)



Cheers for looking everyone :y:

NEW SKIRT - Part 2 coming soon!

Didnt have the time to go see silver_saxo so had to settle for a halfrauds jobby in the end

End results and guide up later ;)

looking good mate :y:

looking good mate. get some pics up as soon as its finished.

NEW SKIRT part-2

Had to get a custom paint made up at halfrauds in the end, which actually was a really good match and looked subtle but good in the end results

Side skirt laid down after 3 coats of primer and being sanded, ready for the first coat of paint along with some other bits which i decided to do while i was at it:
~Heater grills
~Speaker grills
~Cigarette lighter element (dont ask why LOL)
~Pull out tray compartment
~Heater control knob
~Heater control sliders
~Fuse box cover (then decided against it)



Most of my kit


Every piece laid out sanded and ready for primer


First few layers of paint done ready for one more then lacquer


Every component laid out painted and ready for a some lacquer


Some finished results after two/three coats of lacquer







Components on the car



Everything looks much better and more obvious on and in the car in the flesh and can all be seen at FCS

Sorry for the quality of some of the pics as the conditions/light wasnt great most of the time!
Side skirt is all finished and ready to fit but on Sat 23rd, night before the SE meet it wouldnt fit straight on so i will modify the mounts to fit soon and get some more pics up

Cheers and enjoy, comments welcome!
