Custom reg plates

Planned mods (subject to change due to current lack of a job):


Blue sidelights

I.C.E setup (yet to be decided)

Merkur or Zunsport grill (painted black)

16 or 17" OZ Michelangelo 8 alloys (size dependant on weight) to be painted with purple chrme rim and gloss black spokes at a later date

Carl how long are you leaving it between coats? Most stuff is put on 1 coat then you should leave it 30mins to one hour untill you put on another coat then some wax's say you have to leave it 24s before you put on any more coats as you arent letting the wax do its stuff if you put on too many coats at once.

Purple mirrors, if they were quite dark it could look good but at the end of the day its not hard to sort if they look crap, you just sand them off and respray them again.
 
To be honest matt I dunno but shines like a mirror and beads nicely which is good enough for me.

On the mirrors if I do them (still debating it)

I'll go pretty dark and get my sidestripes to match.

Gotta order some spare stripes anyhow as one is peeling a little after I caught it with my washmitt.

If I get the mirrors done I'll definitely get them painted as purple vinyl fades quickly
