Played with Photoshop to get a rough outline of a way forward for colouring the car.
What do you think?

gets a thumbs up from me, John. :cool:
-
big yes from me think that looks brilliant
-
If you do that to your car I will catch the next plane to the UK to come molest it. :drool:
That looks great. I have a few pics of that already done knocking about. I must take a look.

I've always fancied doin the bonnet/roof but never got round to speaking to a vinyl wrapper.
-
What is this carbon wrap thing? Just a vinyl that looks like carbon?
-
....I'm going to be brutally honest and make myself unpopular and say that I think this idea would spoil your car.
Your car is so distinctive and individual with that silver carbon bonnet and wing mirrors. Vinyl wrapping is really tacky imo. Also, I don't like black alloys unless they have either a coloured or silver edge at the tyre - Otherwise they look like black steel rims which the plastic hubcaps have fallen off!
Just my opinion and ETTO :afro:
-
I have to say I wouldnt be fussed on that either, but then again it is all about individual taste! One thing is for sure, there wont be another one like it so if you are happy Hurdy go for it!
-
In terms of your photoshop - I actually quite like it. It gives the car some character, and I like the contrast of the silver/black. Also quite like how you've extended the red from the grille.
I agree with RR, in that the wheels need to either be changed (i think the design of the Pescara's make 18's on the ED30 look tiny), or finished with a silver rim.
However....if its just going to be some tacky film then it would spoil it completely - have you got any photos of this carbon wrap in real life, and in close-up?
Also, it seems a shame to cover up your very nice and very expensive carbon bonnet with a vinyl..
-
red pinstripe around the wheel rims and it's about spot on imo. (although i still think you should change them for some lightweight 19's :tongue: )

That is a very good call my friend..... :smiley:
-
i have to say no dont bother! although the problem i have is that i do not rate silver at all :wink: so i think really the only thing you should be doing is re-spraying the whole car black! you have my full support in this issue!
-
I think you should use Matt Black wrap and not carbon effect and it'll look awesome. Toph is also spot on about the red banding on the wheels.
Nick
-
dont like it pal :smiley:
-
I also was thinking about wrapping the lower rear section of the bumper and the front lip in the same stuff. Ideally I would like to have a genuine insert at the rear and front, but OSIR don't do them for the ED30 :sad:
This is the site I am looking at to do the wrap. They do a matt black CF "effect" wrap and a gloss one. I am feeling the vibe of the matt one at the moment.
http://www.carbonskin.co.uk/
Bare in mind that it is a wrap and does come off and add to that the front lip wrap will act as a protector for the paint and it looks more appealing by the minute.
I like the idea of either a red or silver band around the lip of the wheels too. The only letdown is that you can't get the TD 1.2S in 19's :sad: otherwise they would be a no brainer :cool:.
Yes, I know what you mean about wrapping parts in CF wrap, but I cannot see an alternative whereby:-
1. If I don't like it I can simply take it off.
2. I can get all the bits I want doing all done in a day at a relatively low cost (again see No1.)
3. I can have the roof done without having to paint it.
-
Like I said above mate I like it BUT I think a non carbon look but just plain matt black would look better. Carbon look wrap is only a small step away from stick on carbon fibre stuff you get in halfords. You allready have a pucka carbon bonnet so seems a shame to cover it in fake carbon wrap, matt black plain will look soooo much better.

lighter, stronger, and better looking than the TD wheels.. just need to sort some paint
-
not a fan of how it goes from the silver sides to the cf bonnet to the black wrap in the middle of the bonnet - 3 different colours/affects on the front of the car looks too cluttered.
not an improvement on the current look of the car imho
-
i like it Hurdy + as you say with the wrap if ya dont get on with it you can just take it off.
fill ur boots mate!

whatever happened to colour coding not colour decoding!

I'd looked at those in the past. I do like them, but it would be a pity to have to paint or dip them.
-
No-one spotted the smoothing on the front and sides yet then?
I thought that would have been one of the first replies! :wink:
-
i have beenthinking about doing this for some time now as i know a guy that could do it for us and i think it looks good on white :wink:

looks good on the oettinger one but not the 5 door, also if you have this done on a std car it would look even cr@pper, i think the car has to be externally modded for it to look really good.
on the other hand i wonder what white would be like on my black gti?? white roof and center of bonnet. photoshop anybody :afro:

Got you thinking now joe havent I :rolleyes: :wink:
-
Hmm, Just got off the phone and it's looking like an "A Typical" visit to Awesome........about a grand :shocked:
For that money I could have a black OSIR bonnet, Black rear spoiler and paint the roof black
Right then, come on guys £1k of visual mods to a silver car (tasteful..ish at least please), what should I do?
Ignore alloys in the price as they are a separate issue, but you can suggest some :cool: up to £2k.
No to pinstriping patterns, racing stripes and airbrush artwork :sick:
-
i would smooth the front bumper washer jet area as there is no need for them as you dont have washer jets
-
what would that look like?? pics anybody?? hurdy, how much is the oeittinger bodykit?? cold look mean as hell. i also like the alloys :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
-
I don't know off hand how much the oettinger bodykit is, but my aim is to keep the original ED30 bodywork (for the moment anyway).
Oh and Joe - Awesome are selling the bodykits, just give them a bell. http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/oettinger.html
Oh and I think I'm settling on these wheels at the moment.
5 slim spokes, deep dish design, 19", smooth and will show off the TAROX 10 pot conversion nicely. :cool: cost about £1500 inc tyres.
Any guesses :rolleyes:
-
Hurdy why not get a "Caractere" bodykit? They look amzing on a GTi and with those O.Z Rims would pull it off completely.
Will search for pics quickly.

WhiteGTI. Thats a OSir front lip. Votex skirts and rear. Look at the sites I posted for Joe you can buy them there and fit yourself. The car also has Porsche rims sprayed glossy black. Look on Ebay for them. Pretty cheap.
Buy black mirror caps from VW I think its about 20 pounds for a set and get the bonnet done with a stick on sheet like that and you are sorted :evil:
Mike
-
sorry Hurdy not my taste.
Either run a CF bonnet , or go back to std bonnet + wrap , not both.
Micsta's white pic is much better , but still busy.
My preference is to go the other way , smooth / simple, remove things that break the lines of the car.
Or maybe keep your money and buy the MkVI?

I'm afraid that I'd go as far as saying that wrapping any car in anything fake is seriously tacky! :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: - BUT! ETTO!

seriously tacky!

Not for me as you would be taking the Oem Ed30 out of the car. Ltd editions should be left alone in looks Imo.

I actualy quite like that

Although a limited edition I dont class it as the same style as the Mk4 limited edition as that looked much better than the standard mk4 - the mk5 isnt that much different to the standard car.
Anyway, you asked for people's thoughts - mine, I like it but needs to be done well. Awesome's car is done similar and that looks nice.

Nah, nothing is sacred in my neck of the woods :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed: :grin:
-
That's the same paintjob I hope to have one day, only with my beloved sage green instead of silver :grin:. With a real CF hood too of course.
-
I quite like that Hurdy, but make sure the C/F effect does not fade or peel.
I reckon do the mirrors and the roof but don't do the bonnet, key to this working is subtlety !
Another thing Hurdy i looked at getting my other car vinyled and decided against it for a few reasons
1) the finish will never look like paint , or in this case real C/F
2) when they wrap it , they WILL leave marks underneath, i.e. scratches and such.
3) It will be a b!tch to take off and may leave marks/ and scratches when they do this.
Mistica how many kits !!! :shocked:
-
Not wrapping now.
Something more permanent on the way :rolleyes:

For me the roof line is the most important part of the aesthetics on any car and on the GT-R it sits just right.IMHO :cool:

£70k for an import is just silly, but tempting. :evil:
-
Phoned that carbon wrap company up for a quote earlier.
Gloss/matt black wrap - around £200 per panel
Gloss/matt carbon fibre - around £250 per panel
So for the bonnet and roof to be covered in carbon fibre, you're looking at around £500.
Costs include VAT and labour.
I am VERY tempted!! Not sure which to go for though - gloss black or carbon!
Hope this helps anyone, like me, that was tempted by this post....

i am defo getting it done soon as i have a mate that can do it :cool:

My quote was for the front bonnet in CF gloss black with red pinstriping, Roof spoiler in GBCF, Roof in GBCF, front lip in GBCF and lower rear centre section of the car in (yes, you've guessed) GBCF. :grin:
