Nice, the white mirrors kinda works doesn't it, good vision. Talking of which you need to change the sidelights I reckon to either crystal clear, or same as the headlights.

Yeah it does work in way, I'm happy how it looks. I did have some crystal black side lights but the little bit of plastic that holes them in place broke. So I put the standed one's back in untill I get some new ones.

I've covered the fiberglass now in filler. This is where the rubbing down starts.

Another thing I want do is stip the whole underside of the car off, and replace all bearing and bushes and powder coat what ever I can in blue. The only problem in doing this, is that I use the car every day for work. So I can't take the bits of. So what i'm going to do is get all the bit frist clean them up powder coat and build of the car, so when i've got all the bit done I then fit it all in one go.
To start with I've got some front hubs and some alloy sti wishbones, from darrn at (ABW) The wishbone i'm just gonna clean up an paint sliver NOT blue. The hubs will be blue.

You're gonna need plenty of mirrors when you get those parts powder coated and on the car. They'll look great........but I won't envy you when you wash it!

I thought i would do a test piece frist, to see what the powder coating comes out like. So today i quickly cleaned up the front sub frame and put it through the paint line, it came out really well.

Over the last couple of days I have strip down the two hubs. I throught the bearings would be hard to come out but they came quite easy with a couple of hits with a hammer.

After I had striped them down I left them to sock in WD40, to let it sock into the rust it will help when i clean them up. I'll give them a proper clean up in the next couple of days so then I can get them powder coated.

This afternoon I went to SJS Design to get my roof vinyled in white. What a great guy and what a great job to.
While I was there I discused with him, designing some graphics for the car. What we came up with is to design something that complements the carbon.
