Well, look whose gonna be a busy boy the weekend

Right, the fly eye kit has been sitting in my room, staring. Tempting me. So yeah, that went on as soon as i finished work!
Before:

After:

So i did both of them, but the reflectors just looked, merrh.
So, tada!

So proud of this already!
If you didn't notice i had a sticker bomb book, so that went on my handles (AT the moment, untill the respray were it will go on the fuel cap too )
The paper around it is for the Laquire.

So, this is it so far:

This Sunday, im going to spray up 'dem steelies :slayer:
ALSO WORD OF MASSIVE WARNING: DO NOT LAQUIRE FLY EYE TINTS, IT TAKES THE COLOUR STRAIGHT OUT AND TURNS THEM WHITE!!!!
Still looking for a replacement Active 3dr Sport bumper (rear) and im on the last stages of sorting out the spray job. Boo ya!

Awesome. One thing i should have said before you stickered the handles was, cut around the sticker to remove the white bit, makes it look so much better. There's a pic in my gallery of how i did it

I would use it if I was you mate, I was so worried of messing it up but it was so easy! Spraying looks just as good but it's pretty hard to fix if you want to get rid of it!

Woah, that's looks way better! damn it, ill remember to do that when I do my cap! Cheers buds!

You should have masked up alot more than that around the handles, you'll probably have overspray each side

looks good tho.

:yeahthat: would have probably been better to remove the handles to do. I'd give the car a bloody good clay now tbh!

Hi Louise, yeah the kit was pretty easy to do you just need a hairdryer handy an the kit comes with a Scalpal and a card you use to smooth it but yeah it was easy, just took a bit of time (about 1hr 30mins) but it takes aslong as it takes to make a great job you can do the headlights as well if you want, with mine it would of been easier to do the front than the rear but just take it easy and you'll be fine!

 

[JustAndy]

dont forget that any tint on the headlights is now an MOT failure. Just letting you know
Good job tinting the rear lights though

Well i learn something new every day bud! I thought they were okay to put on the front! look a bit odd yes, but okay with the MOT.

And thank you Andy, it was a labour of love

It used to be okay and pass MOT providing that it still lets out a certain amount of light but the new MOT rules say that you cant tint the front lights, even though I think it looks cool

I thought that buddy, but fronts seem to be so much more, tempermental? When it comes to MOT and what they like/dislike.

Also, some new pictures are being uploaded as we speak. Be about 20mins guys

Right, got up at 9am on my day off to do the steelies.
So i did the "Midnight Park In Liverpool" Method to do this! (Jacked up on house bricks)

So i did that, got 3 of the wheels off (Slanted driveway so if i would of done all 4, there might of been a chance of it falling off, that would be, very. VERY bad.)

So i painted the King Pins and the housing it has around it black.

So, got the wheels off, lets get prepared.

Girlfriend's Dad is a sprayer and he gave me some advise, "**** Poor Prep Creates A **** Poor Paint Job". Too right, 2hrs of preparing (Masking and Primer)

Leave to dry and a new coat x3 (for each wheel)

So, we got from this:

To this :slayer:

And after about 6 hours:

Well, this was a productive weekend wasn't it?
These Steelies will have to do until i find some nice Alloys
Oh yeah, DESPERATLY need a new Rear Bumper (MK2B 3DR) if ANYONE sees one for sale or has one for sale, PLEASE PM me (I Check classified 3 times a day)
Till next time guys!

Looks nice with the white steelies.

 

[colinf1]

Try & get a 3dr active sport bumper, looks much nicer than the standard bumper with the 2 grilles each side

Just a random image off google

 

[Jamie MK2]

oooh i like this, welll done lad

but the white steelies? nope, the trims were wayy nicer

 

[Poppypolly]

I really like the white steelies! looks good!

 

[ascott92]

I seem to come on here solely to criticize and advice >.< sorry mate!

Not a big fan of the steelies mate, tho your quality of work is top notch Get saving and get properawesomewheels! You also need to get these steelies banded when you get your properawesomewheels and coilovers, coz banded steels > normal steels :slayer:
