Styling Smoothing
this is only gonna look cool if you have the rest of your car to match,
im having mine all smoothed on moday, along with changing the wheels, camber and interior, its already lowered 100mm
smoothing wont look any good on a standard stilo.
look for my thread "how to euro my stilo" its on about page 2 or 3, theres some pics on there
alright bud, im smoothing mine, already got the back bumper done and doin the bump strips on sides today. gunna be doin some custom work on the front soon too so will put up a few pics when i have got it sorted.
im kinda licky coz i got an airbrush workshop just next door to a mate who has sprayed and filled for 17 yrs! i fully reccom takin the door strips off, its ded easy as the just pull off and the things dont do as deep into the body as i thought thew wer gunna, prob only a few mill to fill.
if ya gunna fill the big dint bits on bottom of back bumper i'd suggest screwing somethin into em to fill the hole up a bit first and to give the filler something to hold on to.
im thinkin about hittin my car with some airbrushed flames or somethin, not sure what yet.
next will be making some carbon body bits!!!!!!:devil:
how much did the back bumper cost bud?
back bumper cost a tin o body filler, mate o mine is a wizz wiv the stuff, if your filling the recesses at the bottom of the back bumper i reccom screwing something in there to fill some of the depth of em and give the filler something to grip.
my mate showed me a trick with filler too, put it on and smooth as much as can wiv spreader, then he uses a cloth with thinners on to smooth to almost perfect shape withought even sandin.
after a little bit o sanding my back bumper is smooth as a really smooth thing
will ave a go at puttin some pics up for ya. am attacking the front at the moment, took a disk grinder and removed a few "un needed" bits. am now adding to it wiv fiberglass and smoothing over with filler. starting to look quite evil. :devil:

mines smooth as a bald mans head, a babys bottom, a waxed leg, a michael jackson song which was more recently covered by Alien Ant Farm. haha
SMOOOOOTH!
my front bumper, rear bumper and bonnet are all done. also a shortened number plate recess at the front which looks awesome!
thinking of smoothing the boot in the near future. i didn't bother having the side strips smoothed as i did a few photoshops and decided it looked much better with them.

i had to take the strips off her as "im gunna do bad things to her skin" im into airbrushing and want lots of flatter surfaces to play with. guess the strips look ok, deff better when painted.
will start puttin up some pics of mine soon. currently tryin to get the shape of the front bumper sorted. then gotta have a think about the paint job
