Cars dirty but couldn't resist

Martin

 

Very nice mate

 

Thanks Craig you know how long I've had these after Ry painted them last year lol couldn't wait any longer to get them on.

Martin

 

Looks great Martin, and the car looks pretty clean as well!

 

Cheers Iain it's getting a good clean this weekend after having a new windscreen fitted after what looked like a rock flicked up on the mway


Martin

 

Auto glass replaced the windscreen yesterday so a nice new glass in can't beat it

Glass out



New one fitted



Bought some new silicone wipers from alyn@ASperformance should be here Tuesday

Ok so today after still recovering from last nights beer thought I'd have a go at a job that's been bugging me for a while now. The horns were looking pretty tatty and the pink all faded so decided to go for the stealth look an spray them black

Faded horns



In the process of painting



And fitted



Grill back on





Just need to source a black grill badge and take the decals off the fog covers

Martin

 

Black horns look soooooo much better Martin. Nice job.

 

Great job, although I like my red horns. Did you find that the centres had corroded at all

 

They have used a non genuine front window surround arrgh that pi55es me off!

 

When I had my screen changedy glass guy saved my trim

We have had two autoglass jobs recently were they have taken a screen out to find rust underneath, then refused to put a new glass in lol

We've had to de rust, treat and paint before they would fit it. Lol

 

I think so too Frayz

Centres were ok Jon, your reds go with the colour of your car mine wouldt look right with red I think. Black does look discreet now

Just been out and had a closer look Ry lol how did you notice that? The rubber has an extra lip! Pi55ed off too now looks like call back to them

Martin

 

Seen him take the rubber out jake he had to rip it off in pieces so Noway that was going back on. Even looks like he's glued some of the rubber down in places on the roof

Eyes of a hawk mart
I'm the detail king and its all in the detail lol

 

I had mine apart last week to polish them, but the black bits are looking a touch shabby. I'll repaint mine, but I'm going to get some fancy bolts

 

Not wrong there Ry think of my painting skills mate haha thought I'd have a crack at this one myself guess they'll just fob me off when I ring them anyway

Martin

 

Biggest pi55 take is they are only £40 for a genuine one

 

New black screws woul have finished it off nicely although still very happy with them. Was nursing a hangover too so pleased with myself

Martin

 

Will call them and see what they can do if anything I know it'll bug me forever knowing now

Martin

 

No need to buy a black badge.... Remove the one you have very gently and get some fine wet n dry sandpaper, you can sand all the pink off and spray the back black

 

I'm thinking some nice stainless jobbies

 

The pink ones am after market badge mate and the original one I have is stone chipped to death so new ones prob the way forward

Martin

 

Top service from Alyn@ASperformance these arrived today so when the rain stops ill be out doing a few bits



Ps rang autoglass re the rubber on the windscreen they're coming out to have a look to see if they can replace it

Martin

 

how much were they mate are they flat blades or normal blades

 

£47 if I remember right Craig. Took a pic out the packet to show you mate.



Martin

 

What you guys think

Before



An after



Nightmare taking the decals off and I think the covers need a spray now

Just to change the badge and a good clean

Martin

 

bit late now but I prefer it with.

 

Prefer it without. It's not an STI, but a tastefully modded WRX.
My decals went and prefer the clean look.

 

Ah I was hoping everyone would say without mate

That's what I though mate. It's not an Sti I just liked a bit of pink on black once the badge is changed it'll be a lot more subtle

Martin

 

I prefer it with, just looks a bit bland without and with so much black it needs to be broken up, how about painting the supertones pink

 

Suppose I could send the horns to Ry to go back to pink
As Frayz said its not a Sti so not sure it looks right. Think ill replace the badge then see how it looks and if I don't like it then add some colour back in

Just been out n took another pic to convince myself
