the other day i bought some fabric spary paint that i came across on ebay. it looks like really good stuff from what the pics shown and what i checked out on youtube and stuff. so i ordered some in black for 9.98 i think it was, it came this morning so im going to remove the passenger door card and give it a go see what happens. I'll stick some pics up later on today

thats a great car for 50 quid mate its got loads of pertenshal and you can do so much to black cars that look great! theres no limits, keep us informed on ur mods!

Yeh it aint bad really, theres a few dents and scratches around the outside but apart from that its pretty sound tbh. yeeh will do. hoping to get some alloys in the next couple of weeks. wooo

soo ive been a busy bee today (kind of lol) had a crack at this fabric spray on the door cards. Luckily i bought 2 cans because the nosel ****ing bust on the first can just wouldnt spray at all it just kept dribbling out of the bottom all over my trainers and gym floor werent impressed haha, but done first coat on it and it covers pretty well tbh, ill leave it a while and go back later on and see whats happening. And while i was at it i decided to get my trusty Wilkos black spray paint out for the plastic stuff., didnt sand it or anything just cleaned it abit and gave it a few coats. Got a few pics here. The ****ty blackberry camera phones doesnt do it justice really and my gym/shed/workshop isnt the lightest place really lol

The spray from Ebay £9.98 i think it was. It seems good enough tbh, dunno if thats cheap cause didnt really look into it i just randomly came across it and thought id try it out



The original door card




And the new black ones, it is actually darker than the pics






What you think?

And im now thinking about doing the seats? Think i might do the middle of the seats black and leave the edges grey, cause i think doing it all black would be just a little bit to much, what do people think?
Also if you do think about doing this, althought there is videos on youtube showing people doing it while theyre still in the car i wouldnt do that myself because it does overspray quite abit, its quite messy. But if you do overspray and leave a puddle of the stuff on the fabric, doorcard, seat or whatever it is your spraying, you can actually rub it in by hand to sort it out

Personally id wait until you see how the door cards wear first, if you go in all guns blazing and spray your seats and in a few weeks find out that it stains fabric or something then i dont think it would be very good getting out of your car everytime with a black arse lol

yeeh thats what im gonna do i think, ive seen the ones i like definetely black. yeh white with blue would be pretty good mate. mhmm definetely gotta be black. ive got the tinted side reapetors already and c.c mirrors. and hopefully in the future proper c.c smoothed bumpers aswell

if it doesnt stain blacker seats would look cool, doorcards look alot better than standard now.

What fabric spray did you use mate, can you link me? i fnacy doing this too all my doorcards

Its called Simply Spray and i used Midnight Black, dont know what other colours they do though. This is the link to the seller i bought it from

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Car-Seating-I...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e62038192

fitted my doorcard back on and it looks sweeet. took the drivers side card out now and a few bits to spray black. ill get pics up tomorrow went to dark in the end

Soo i done both the door cards they look pretty sweet. really happy with the results


Then i spotted this in the paper the other day and thought "yeeh i need one" haha. Its pretty much a bottom end model but honestly its a cracking little machine. My dad was made up using it to clean the patio lol.


Then today i was pretty bored so i decided to clean up my donor rear bumper. So i used some cleaning stuff and gave it a good blast with the new pressure washer (any excuse) it came up well. Although the white sticky pads were a right b***h to get off but i did it in the end. I then started to give it a complete rub down and then gave it some more cleaner and another blast to rinse. Left it a few hours to completely dry up and thought hmm some spare primer why not give it a coat. Its turned out well. Soo next thing is to smooth it and paint it, not sure when this will happen though but im definetely gonna give it a go anyway,

this is how the bumper looked before, id removed the bump strip first. its in fairly good condition tbh


and after some cleaning and sanding


and a coat of primer, why not ey



Ive also been really looking into what alloys i want to get, im really torn between some Cades eros in black with polished lip? or Wolfrace octanes in the same colour? Any views/opinions?

taa ta for now

yeeh so its

these


or these


hmmmmm.....??

second ones imo,although both wheels need quite a good drop to pull them off

yeeh im being drawn more to them aswell. yeh im gonna get some FK AK coilies aswell though so that will sort the droppage duno how low ill take it as its freeeking speedbump land round here and they aint small either, theres one huge one right outside my gate lol i think 50mm maybe, but ill just have to see when the time comes

Why not park on a speedbump then drop it so you know exactly how far you can go lol. Scraping isnt such a bad thing, i quite like the noise actually
And im sorry but i have to disagree and go with the first set of wheels..
