mickymoe · 28th July 2010, 21:07

looking good lad. glad you got rid of the blue haha should look class when done, espically in the matt black

MunkyBoy · 30th July 2010, 09:10

I'll definately come down to some of the meets in maldon mate. I'll PM you later.

Attached my bonnet and passenger arch. last night, so technically the car is now finished! Just need to attach the skirts somehow - and get painting!

Can't decide if i like my angels with my new bonnet, or the standard smoked headlights again.... Thoughts?

wingnuts · 30th July 2010, 09:16

Smoked mate them angels are a bit much for the matt look

mezza18 · 30th July 2010, 15:00

nice work man! looks good

stokesy · 30th July 2010, 15:17

smoked looks better imo..
looks meaner..
sell the angels and get yourself a few quid back

couttsyboy · 30th July 2010, 15:21

good thread, now looks alot better than the start

MunkyBoy · 30th July 2010, 15:28

Thank you

Yeah, people keep saying the smoked look better - But I really am a fan of angels!

Does it really look better with smoked headlights?

mickymoe · 30th July 2010, 17:38

im a fan of the smoked myself

samfenna · 30th July 2010, 17:41

smoked headlights over those angels anyday mae, fits in much nicer

MartinCT · 30th July 2010, 17:45

OR you could smoke the DRL bit of those angels? should look neat too.

Attached where my new plate will be going..

Also attached the dimma grill after painting it.

Started on my wheels...

Its scary how much they glow!

The paint on the tyre it just dust from the paint - just need to wipe it down.

Had some more fun with the orange paint...

Sprayed mani cover in pearl white, and did the screws orange to make it look a little easier on the eye!

Wheel after having its overcoats to protect it.

Insides: (Only did the top lip of the door pocket handle thing. Looks quite smart)

Sprayed the little stickyout bits to change fans

Tweeters aren't mounted back properly, going to wait for the paint to dry for another 24 hours or so, then can squeeze them back in.

mickymoe · 1st August 2010, 20:26

this will look differnt haha

MunkyBoy · 10th August 2010, 11:25

Slight update. I've given some of the front a first keyed coat of paint now - and also done the rest of the wheels.

Lowering will hopefully (fingers crossed) be happening this weekend. I know the paint looks a little weird on the bonnet etc, but it needs to be rubbed and second coated

P.S I realise the passenger door is still metallic!

ManGo-SaXo · 10th August 2010, 11:32

nice work dude, wheels are certainly bright enough.

will22 · 10th August 2010, 11:47

i look foward to this

AdamDougal · 10th August 2010, 11:51

Hardly non of pictures worked on my iphone lol but ones i seen its coming along

argyle89 · 10th August 2010, 12:02

Think this looks very smart mate. Different too!

ed-bradley · 10th August 2010, 15:58

Looks Epic Imo, This is what I plan on doing with mine in the near future.

Im guessing the car was all rattle canned? How much paint have you used on it so far etc?
Just need to work out a Budget for mine you see

MunkyBoy · 10th August 2010, 16:29

Wasnt' rattled! Has been rollered on so far! You can't see the drivers side, but the finish is getting there now. The car has pretty much had a coat now, but needs to be rubbed down and done again - plus I've got a lot better with the roller now, need to do really thin layers or it goes horrible.

So far, I've used between half and 2/3 ltr of chalkboard. I've done all the panels minus the passenger door and rear bumper. A few panels have had second coats.

As for buying the paint itself - £4.79 from toolstation

Should look good after I've finished the paintwork!
