Today I got the badges of the scrappy one and have got them ready to paint to go on the old girl. That will freshen her up. What colour to paint them? Black or Silver? Thinking black personally. Changing the mirrors back to black oem ones too.

The Bosch system that goes with the K&N airfilter is going on too along with the stainless steel exhaust next week. Apart from that happy times.

Painted my badges to freshen it up a bit. I really need to swap the suspension this week. I now have my trusty Snap On cordless gun with my Blue Point Sockets to assist me. Should get stuck in to it really!

Pics to follow at somepoint! :cool:

Did someone call?  :grin:

The place I used is called Cas Coatings and are based in Bradford. For kerbage repair, shot blasting and powder coating in basic colours they charge £1 per inch, so you'd be looking at £17 a rim. It was about a 36 hour turn around when they did mine!  :cool:

Oh and they did a quality job, there's also a thread on uk-mkiv's singing their praises as well!
