Re: Bens grande - 'SMOG'

Can't find a link mate :/ it's on eBay somewhere!

Need some help. Only just decided to spray my grills gloss black. Would you reccomend priming - painting - and laqeuring? Or however you spell it. Or would you just Spray it straight over the current paint?

Looks great, will look even better lowered on those alloys!

That last photo looks a bit like tilt-shift, what did you do

 

[BenYoung]

Thanks mate yeah needs lowering :/ just making my mind up on wether I want it lowered first then a new exhaust later on or vise versa. Think I'll lower first tho?

What do you mean tilt shift haha? No idea what that is. I just blurred out the background and messed with the lighting. Something I learnt at college makes almost any picture look high quality and have nice vibrant colours

Tint or get tinted side indicators

Yeah lower first!

Tilt-shift is a photography method that sort of blurs the edges, so that's what it reminded me of. Looks decent though, I'd love to be able to know how to do that

 

[BenYoung]

Ohh haha no just a bit of Photoshop yeah I'll lower first

 

[TJEToates]

I really like it mate, alloys look really good!.. And to answer previous questions, British standard Charles wright font pressed plates are fully legal!..and de-wipering, if you haven't done it yet I'll run you through the steps whenever mate. Looking very nice otherwise..just need some lows

 

[TJEToates]

Have a look round the cleaned uk forums and Vdub forums for wheel ideas, Not many original ideas about anymore.

Whats the insurance like with all the mods mate?

 

[GymJunkie]

Whats the insurance like with all the mods mate?

insurance varies so much between companies and personal circumstances so the answer wont be relevant. some companies will add hundreds of pounds or refuse to cover mods where as others will cover them at no extra cost, or with a small cost for performance mods
