[garethmarshall]

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

Gareth

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
