Default New Graphics.

Maybe not to everyone's taste but I needed to cover up some areas of the paint work that I wasn't happy with so I have had some graphics done.

I have to give a massive shout and a big thank you to Craig from CLM Signs who has come out and done them today.

He's done an awesome job the pictures speak for themselves, stunning.

























Cheers

Daz

Does your car actually have parts by ALL those manufacturers fitted?

I'd of put the money you've spent on graphics towards getting the dodgy paint work resprayed!

Yes it does. Should be circa 600bhp when its finished.

If it was as easy as that!!
It's a one off colour and would more than likey involve a full respray. This was the easiest and cheapest option.

The paintwork looks really flat. I think you've done the right thing

The car has been stood on the driveway for months so it was just dirty and the first picture today was taken before I washed it this morning.

The finish on the paint work is fine, there were two areas on the drivers side that were slightly faint.

The pictures were taken with my camera phone. Polished up the car looks great. It was just that those two areas really niggled me.

Here's some more pics of the rest of the car as you'll see the paint work isn't dull.

I think that the poor pics are not going in your favour. Some better pics in good light will probably show us it is a cracking looking car, even if it's not to everyones taste. I for one would love to see it in it's best light.

Yeah waste some more money getting the windows tinted and give the police another excuse to pull you and sit there while they watch you peel it back off!

Couldn't agree more. Sadly my proper camera is away getting repaired so I've had to use my camera phone which isnt exactly DSLR quality.

The guy who did the graphics took some with his camera. When he sends me them i'll post them up.

Not to my liking, but you can't beat a cheap fix.

Lets hope you don't go for a "cheap fix" with the camera either! Seems a bit odd with a car expecting to see 600 BHP (which must of cost a fair few quid) and your cutting corners on getting it to look good. Mines only around the 250 mark but as "first impressions last" I always like to keep the paintwork spotless!

Suprised at the back lash to be honest.

Alot of comments from people who clearly have no idea. I took exception to the cheap job comment though as it definetly not. The guys arrived at 10am and left at 4.30.
I paid £140 as I knew the guy who owns the company. Ordinarily he'd have charged around £400-£500.

The photo's aren't doing it justice and i'm delighted with how it's turned out.

I think it looks pretty cool, a bit fast and furious but hey it is going to be fast! And furious Its always going to divide opinion but its nice to see something different. Have you got the original rear lights for it?
