Styling what mods should i do to my car?
dipyourcar shipped to me just fine? i did order it AGESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ago though so may have changed since then. i did hear the plastidip stops working if it reaches a certain altitude so maybe thats why they stopped shipping. but i got some from them and it was fine!
OP

Oh right, yeah that might be why then. Yeah on the site it says 'WE CAN NOT SHIP OUTSIDE THE US OR CANADA. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AT THIS TIME.' - maybe they just don't do it at certains time of the year because of temperature, pressure, altitude etc? I don't know haha

So thinking of a colour change ?.....
yeah i didnt know about plastidip till after i bought my foliatec haha figures! But yeah, you should definately give it a try, experiment and get freaky with it haha
OP

Not an entire colour change, will just do the wheels with it. But one 5l tin of plastidip is $60, and DanielM (the guy painting his yellow GP blue) said he needed just more than 5 litres so if you bought 2 tins, at $120 you could paint the whole car. £70 for a full car spray is pretty good to be honest
Hell yes! Think I'm just gonna do the wheels bright orange, if I get sick of it I can always peal it off again

Haha do it!!! Or you could buy some different colours and spray them on at the same time for a cammo style effect which obviously dries solid all ifeas mate, just play with it

That's a good idea, do some contrasting colours together like orange and blue

In case anyone is interested, I weighed my steel wheels and alloy wheels yesterday. Steel wheel was 14kg and my 17" wolfrace superlite alloy was only 17kg. Only 12kg difference for all 4 corners!

Got bored of faux leather so changed to carbon fibre. I know it's not original and loads of people have their dash carbon fibre but I had some lying about

Found some eibach sportlines on ebay at £50. Worth getting or should I just spend a little extra and get coilovers for the adjustability?

Sweet job on the carbon, looks epic.
Tough call on the springs.

Thanks!
Hmm yeah, I just thought, £50, would make such a difference and could always sell them again in the future to get coilovers..
