also gunna smoke the head lights this week will put pics up as soon as its done

[joeybop]

small update

well didnt get to lower today as i couldnt get hold of any spring compressors but im on the hunt for some so if the weather get better and i get another day off then it will be getting done.

did get a few bits done put the badges back on the car


also de-wipered

before


after




then had a play about with my bros car

took my wheel off mine to see what his would look like

If you are doing the roof red why not do the badges and other things red too so it all blends right in?

Looks nice though, how many miles?

[joeybop]

i knwo i was thinking that but not sure if the bages would look good in red just thinkin of the roof and wheels

and its about 75 i think just under only paid 650 and it was from billingham

[joeybop]

right i havent updated in a while and i havent really done much

so all i have done so far is spend most my dosh getting it throught the MOT so today i decided i would get a bit done just sprayed the front and rear bumper gloss black

got it all masked off




1st coat of primer on




gloss black going on


front end masked up




and now the front going gloss




front end all finished






next plans are to finish the gloss black on the bump strips and should have the vinyl for my roof in the next few days so will be doing that too.

Any C/C?

Its your car that i saw that made me do my bumpstrips. Its a nice car and very clean like it alot

[VTRenz]

Did you just primer straight over the top of your bump strips bud? And how many coats?

Looking nice and tidy mate - And not 'chavved' up!

[joeybop]

I sanded them a bit but the grit was to large so doesnt look as smooth as it could will probs do it again soon but yeah just prime and paint no laquer.

[Mrjayware]

Painting those bumper half made a good difference
