How'd you do the red grill?
Title: Re: just a few pics of the car i took today
Post by: stainesy on 22 May 2011, 12:09
The red grill is red vinyl heated at the tips and the back of the slats are matt black.

Where did you get your alloys from? I recently got a car with near-identical alloys, but one of the hubcaps is missing and while the old owner will have a hunt for them I'm unsure if he'll find them, so at some point will need to buy a replacement.

Bought them from a company called topgear. They are online. They do all sorts of stuff likepowerflow exhausts alloys to vinyl wraps.

Any thoughts on the pinstriping?
Title: Re: just a few pics of the car i took today
Post by: LowlifeDubber on 22 May 2011, 19:41
I'm not a massive fan of the pinstriping myself.
But I've always loved the look of your car mate!

i like the pinstripe, sets it apart from the rest, plus red/black combo always looks good!

Post by: Adezmk3 on 22 May 2011, 22:37
no offence but the picture quality isnt very good, get some better pics of it and some from the side then it will be easier to see how those pinstripes look. Im currently undecided

I'm all for different, and it's defo different than that chrome rubbish!  :grin:

I think if the pinstripe met the front of the wing it would look better, but i like it  :cool:

Remember when you first got these wheels and I said do the centres red?
I meant the wheel centre not just the caps.  :grin:
That would look awesome and if you done the lips black  :wink:

Don't give him no back-talk sucker!

Headlights could do with a joey or something, but I quite like the pinstripe.
