Hey Guys started the build a few days ago. my camera has broken and will be getting new one friday.

Well its not going to be done straight away and the build will be taking a while to complete due to work etc.

I am going to respray the car Jet Black with the alloys also Gloss Black. I want the car to be very low and just look sleek.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

thanks alot

The only thing worth polishing is the rockercover. Easiest way to do it is take it to a polishers lol. If not theb your looking at ung a lot of elbow grece to  getvthat thing shining
