Glad you likey

As for engine mods, yes - eventually! Ideally I'd like a reliable 300bhp but as I have the stoopid 'can't do anything with it' ecu it'll involve an ecu swap which, at the moment, funds won't allow!!

Finally, some more progress

With NBO fast approaching I thought I'd better get my *** in to gear and get this bonnet done

Its had a few coats of high build primer today




Primered my new boot spoiler up too whilst I was at it (99p ebay bargain!).....



As I'm painting my wheels white I thought the grey on the fog covers would look outta place so these are primered too and will be getting a coat of the blue!



Hoping to get them all in blue tomorrow and fitted by the weekend

Have just read this thread properly. You have some serious talent Mr Blu. You are seriously wasted as a postie. Keep up the excellent work.

Don't think I'm that good! Its not perfect by any means, but it doesn't matter, I'm more than happy with the results!
I used 2K paint this time, I have to say its sooooooo much easier to paint with than the celly and the shine from the gun is awesome! Less polishing to be done this time

Look at the dust on my garage floor!! The stripe is where the door shuts to



Slightly better pic, now its dry

Only joking, looks great. As above, black decals will go very well.

Been busy this afternoon.....

Built up my blue mirrors




These will be put on tomorrow.

Temporarily fitted my track wheels



So I could sand down and prime these



Followed by a coat of paint



Finished, unmasked and drying



Sneaky peak, was too dark to get a decent pic
