great work mate but what did you do to those fogs?

blackvtrt · 28th May 2009, 21:45

was thinking of doing one satin black myself at one point, but going super low etc, kinda rat style aswell though. Not sure if its gonna work tbh but ill reserve my juddgement for now. Atleast ur doing sumthing different, was also toyying with the yellow smoked lights aswell, seen it done on a new wave clio and looked awesome!

First of all this morning I got to work and the car had flatted off beutifully so I was chuffed to bits after a night of worrying the car was too gloss..

Well today's update is really only one thing but more has occured. Firstly the paintshop have been busy and got the doors, bonnet, and tailgate painted but it was still on bake when i left work so i thought i'd leave them to dry. This however has highlighted just how many parts there are on a saxo to respray as we still have the Door, quarter and wing mouldings as well as both bumpers and a grille still to go!!!!!!!!!!

So now for what i was up to which was something i'd never done before and seemingly nor had anyone else since the 70's lol. Firstly I bribed "the boy" with a Mcd's to sand the roof smooth for me ready for..

Next off it was time to trim up the vinyl we'de sourced for the roof which i did with some scissors i'd stolen and subsiquently ruined from reception lol..

Next, there are some jobs that you need some "old skool" on the case to do it right so Andy who was there first time round and knows how to apply the glue..

On went the vinyl and some serious work to get it triming and smoothing ect which was hard to take pictures of as i needed to be involved.

and so the results..

So there it is and I can't beleive what a difference it's made.

Check back soon for more fun and controversy

absolutely amazing mate. I love it!!! It was a brave move but is often brave moves that pull off the best cars. I think the satin black is gonna look awesome once the car is put back together and i cant wait to see it. Also love the roof!!! It looks the sex!!! Keep up the top work.
