oh nice. Does it affect how much light is let out? Or is that dependent on how much you spray. obvs
Pillars look good to me..good to see you went with it. Your car is coming together nicely.

Think i'm going to get a few more snaps tonight.
TBH mate you cant even tell you have tinted them and if you could tell then its against the law because your restricting the amount of light thats meant to be coming out of them
Thats a bad photo you really can notice it when its parked next to a standard one ,it doesnt restrict the amount of light coming out at all as im not tinting the glass just spraying the shiny silver plastic bit round the light, (not the reflector as that would affect the light.) Just use a heat gun to soften the glue and prize the glass off, and you're away.

No that was one i got from ebay ages ago, i got the standard airbox on now just sprayed it red, that induction kit was useless in the hot weather. lol
lol i think ill get a GSR kit then its £110 inc delivery so thats not bad

Managed to find some colour coded bumpers/Alloys/Front Wing from a guy on eBay
I need a new wing as before I got the car, some numpty has splashed what seems to be varnish, really big black blobs on it. So I need a new one of those
What a steal...
4 sporting Alloys (2 with punctures) but... £30 for all 4! Seen pics, they seem good condition, few scuffs but I plan to refurb them myself anyway, got all the paint and wet and dry waiting . For £30 you can't go wrong
Front and Rear bumpers £40!
Wing £20
Going to be a not so expensive Saturday. Problem is me and my dad are drivin down to Borderline London to Collect. But my Dad is going near there Saturday to check out a Porsche anyway so..
Thats my update for the week

I would love to but I'd be going with my Dad, If I was driving on my own I wouldn't hesitate to do that but we will be very strapped for time, getting down there, meeting the porsche bloke, looking around the car, then driving down further to punto bloke then etc.

So I got my colour coded bumpers Yay! Fitted the them both however I need to find some working fog lamps. I need to post a wanted ad and get some cheap as!
Fitted my wing too as my old one had varnish on it
To say my car has had a respray before I got it the colours are darn close. Shame about the fading on the rear bumer on the very edge but I'm sure some red T-cut will sort that out hopefully.
I shall take better photos when it's out at the bottom of my drive as it's too cluttered atm.
Pic shows one of the alloys I got, it is the worst one there and has a massive chunk taken out. Does anyone know if this will at all be fixable? Or get another sporting alloy?
Managed to get the sporting badge off the car in London whci sold me the bumpers so I spents lots of time and paint making it super shiney in colour coded red.
Let me know what you think! Thanks. Dann

I also need some red mirrors too :L They look a bit dodgy now that the whole car is Red
Car looks 100% better IMO
Why dont you just take the mirrors off and spray them again? its not like your using the car!
Al it needs now is a nice subtle spoiler (off a Sporting/ GT) to finish off the back.
Dunno about the wheel however, are they badly scratched? might be able to fix it with a refurb?
Badge also has come up well

Thanks for the feedback
I may just do that actually but It will require me to buy some more paints for £10.99 CC. And sanding all that down will take the ****! It's laquered so much! lol
I am currently looking for a spoiler
