wassy do it white man, that would look sick, plus bit of quick detailer will keep it clean.
theres a pug from belgium with a complete suede interior, pedals and all, he manages to keep it clean![/QUOTE]

Just realised wassy we have the same colour had this thing for like 8-10 years and its been sprayed so many times as i used to work at a bodyshop when i was in school and a little after lol.
Also forgot after seeing how many people did not say about your boy getting better i myself was making sure i said hope he's all well and good now, and have said it now sorry i did not before was very tired after reading this all night last night  .
And my above earlia comment smoke the interior of the mk1 lights or tint the outside lightly with the repeaters? and how easy is it to do the inside ?

Hi big wow nice bike . And thanks for asking about my son means loads . As for the lights yeh very easy . People say put them in the oven . But I used a heat gun on the glass not on plastic as yeh don't want to melt it . Just heat up so it gets the glue sticky . And the inside just pops out . For you to paint

I don't think I'll do it mate don't want it to look pants lol . Sounds good to do but I don't think on the hulk it would be right . It would be good to put hulk somewhere just don't know were . Keep looking for a privet plate saying hulk

Ahaha thanks man and yeah about the heat gun that sounds like a much easier and practical way to do it allthough the oven works as i have done like 4 sets with my brother because hes had like 6-7 saxos it stinks the house out and is messy
Must be alot easier to do with the heat gun  .
What do you think i should do though because its track it dont matter a ton about the repeaters and headlights being darkish obviously not black but have seen some euro cars with like really dark headlights like polos and s4's and the look like you buy them like that have not seen this done much but love the look.
So paint the inside of the standard mk1 front lights or tint the outside lightly along with the repeaters or get the grill to go with the morrettes? but can i not cut down the grill i currently have?
Any help would be really appretiated mate and i do like the hulk idea but it would have to be small and in the right place just not sure where

To be honest i think youl struggle to put airbrushing on and it look right/suit the car.personally i think raised letters would look cool,would be fairly easy,and theyd fit in if used on roof/boot build floor even if you go for it!!just keep it basic lettering!!??!
Just a thought,sure whatever you come up with will look the dogs!!

I love this car, a lot of work has been put into this and looks to be done to a very high standard.
I don't think you should play on the hulk too much, you don't want it looking like this;
