yeah boi, ive changed my mind too, im gonna do mine the same as yours and fill in the gaps and spray it black, sorry for robbing your idea mate lol

lol its ok mate! I dont mind helping either.
It takes quite alot of work and patience but i think its well worth it!!!

What do you think guys, spray the inside thats been sanded down black or gold??

Need some thoughts before i go ahead with it!!

that looks great in the gold but imo i reckon in black would really set the front of car off a treat

Its really irritating!! Guys come on help me out!!!

Do it gold mate

Thanks very much mate.

Any other opinions??

yer gold would make it look smoother which i would suit the wide mouth,

looking sexy by the way!

thinkin of doing my gold VTR with a white theme.... i think would be different

Thanks mate, i really am torn between the two though!!

Cheers mate glad you like it!

Yea white would look pretty kool :y:

Just read through the whole thread!

Very nice mate, only things id do would be go back to standard plates

and im thinking take your front bumper off fiberglass over the wholes get it resprayed bumpstrips gloss black and the bumper gold!!!

Lol quality cheers matey! I would like to go back to standard plates but they were a bday present from the rents so ive got to see them out 4 atleast a year lol.

I was thinking about the gloss black but undecided. Also thinking about fibreglassing the bottom lip into the bumper, so its 1 whole peice and then spraying that............

HOW THE CAR STANDS NOW, WITH NEW 106 MIRRORS ASWEL :fcuk:

FEW PICS FROM BHP SHOW ON MONDAY :D









LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK GUYS.

LETS RACK UP SOME COMMENTS!!!!!!

I like the color coded splitter and 106 mirrors,
not overally keen on the mad amounts of red in the bay.

Thanks Karl, i think i would have to agree with the amounts of red, i have got some new bits coming to break it up though so not worrying too much this week :y:

Looks nice mate, specially after all the stress you had before BHP lol

Im definatelly going to invest in some plain door cards at some point !

Thanks Andy :y::hug:

I was going insane with my car and was having serious doubts whether i was going to go tbh! But woke up that morning and the paxo pulled through and drove fine! WIERD!!! :panic:

They do look loads better mate, well worth it :drink:

mate ur car is sooooooooo tidy mate love it

Thank you buddy :y: Its slowly getting there :homme:

how did u get ur engine bay so clean lol looks awsum would love to spend long time doing my engine mate but just us mine as abit of a slag lol

Looks very nice dude, however again im more of a standard subtle enginebay guy so the red = a no no for me,

Gold and black or gold and anthracite or polished metal bits, no red lol

Very nice car though btw

Just get some good engine cleaner mate, the megs one or autoglym seems to be favourites of most people. Get a selection of paintbrushes to get into the hard to reach areas and if your confident enuf use plastic bags to cover up all the electrical bits and use a jet wash or a hose to clean it all off, then use some back to black on the black plastic bits and job done :)

Thanks mate, like i said to Karl though alot of the red is on the way out this week :D

oooo leather looks very nice sean :y:

Thanks matey :)
