About 2 or 3... Just enough to properly cover it really.. it was already black so didn't take much... If you've got a grill with silver on maybe do 3

Also how did you do your rear lights they look awesome !

Giving away all my secrets! Lol. I'm joking... Just took the rear lights out, masking taped the edge obviously bar the red line round the outside, then covered the rest of the light with newspaper .. then just spray black. Don't primer it just spray black be careful when you take off the masking tape though cause if you just pull it off quick it might bring some of the paint with it

Ok sounds good but what colour do you think for my car ??

 

[kaci1991]

Umm not sure to be honest. I think the black outing looks better than the red and expect that would be the case on any colour car..

So then.. Thought I might do an update as a lot of things have changed since my last post..

The last update was with the orange around the front grill, the orange stripe and wing mirrors. They're still as they were, although the wing mirrors have been resprayed in a better orange. The 'P' on the back and the front grill need respraying but luckily it isn't too noticeable in the meantime.

Anyways, since then I've got new wheels, a sun-strip, done a few bits to the interior, got a fifth alloy (in great nick I might add which will probably be replacing one of the ones that was scratched when I got them) plus a new exhaust, new K&N cone and lowering springs I think that's it... Oh and some stickers :slayer:lol

Other than the respraying of the grill and 'P' and possibly some window tints at some point, not too sure what more I want to do to it anytime soon. Oh, I wouldn't mind cleaning that engine bay up a bit though too!

Anyways, some pics attached - any comments welcome

Possibly the worst place you could put a filter in terms of access to cold air.

I'd be getting some longer tubing and place it in the space on the left of the bay over the wheel arch.
