What do you think guys ?

The clam had some hairline crack which you could see !!!! All fixed now should get it back next weekend :-)

With everything closed up it will look solid Green it only wrapped around about 10mm so you can see quite alot of silver with the doors open , but the whole job has cost me £800 to do the whole car !!!!!!!! Best quote I had for paint was 5 k !!! A full green paint job would no doubt be better but at 5 k was never a option !!! After all I am builder another engine and need budget for that !!!!!!!!! :-)

yeh if you look at the piccy ,ive had the splitter and my hedge cutters done in carbon wrap.
the wrap is very strong and should be pretty hard to damage !!.....i hope :-)

What are those black things in front of the front wheel for?

Hi Jamie, they are designed to gather the air as it tumbles of the front clip and guide it down the side of the car into the side scoops .

[TuxMan]

front arches modded to allow air pressure from under the wheel arch down the side of the car , passenger side pod is openned up and gearbox oil cooler fitted , drivers side is std at the moment .modds planned :-)

[TuxMan]

Hi Rene , each wheel has had 2 coats of primer flatted between each coat , 2 coats of satin black again flatted between coats then 2 coats of acrylic gloss laquer !!! If they bloody chip after that lot they can get stuffed :-) :-)

Wanted to use a separate lacquer for a high gloss finish never find with gloss paint I get such a good finish , satin is a good hard finish and if you flat between coats you don't get a orange peel effect , amazing what you can achieve with Halfords aerosols !!!! The secret is in the lacquer. And prep work !!

[TuxMan]

Thanks very much guys for the great comments , was not sure about the colour change when I first started but so far I'm pleased with how she looks :-) :-) totally changed the perspective off the car !! Tux
