Yea mate I wasnt being critical, was just not what I expected of the LL style! :grin:

But as you say the wheels will probably change things like they do on mine. :cool:

Been looking at them and Wiseco as I have a connection there, depends on pricing, etc. It wouldn't be til next year so no biggie right now.

A bit more progress yesterday, not so much today, bad hangover :D

So Friday I got the boot done and a rear door and rear quarter.


Starting the boot







Plate recess











Boot almost done



Tidied edges




Rear quarter














Then I thought it was time to try out my Hella all-reds. They are in mint condition, and I'm always worried about having them on the car! Think I'll roll with them though, goes real well with vinyl






Rear door












Then this is what happened today

Bit of filler work where the arch took a knock






Freshened up side trims with another flick over of matt black.



Hard to tell if these will look right with the sills being black until the whole car is wrapped. Its no biggie though if they need to be wrapped, they just pop on and off.


And fitted a couple bits to see how they would look




That's it so far, but I hope tomorrow is a good day and can get a lot of wrapping done. Will be chasing up all bits for my splits next week, trying to push them for the weekend, but we'll see.

Simply wow, respect to you for the amount of new looks you put this car through.  Even if I had the time I know I wouldn't change so often. It's good that the previous paint jobs have kept this car straight. Wrapping can be a biatch when you are presented with too many dents, surprise rust etc.

Nice one for posting some detail on the progress.  Interesting watch.  :cool:
