Default Any photoshoppers on here tonight....?

I'm thinking of having the roof done in a flat black.... can anyone oblige? I haven't quite got round to learning the art of Photoshop yet....





If someone can do the roof, can they do the A/C pillars, side mirrors and lower side skirts too please.....

Darms... I love your car as it is mate.... especially having seen it for real. I guess the dark roof would look good for a while but for such a clean classic, I think (personally) I'd keep it as it is.

Out of all the pics though, I prefer just the black roof one.

Regarding tints.... the rear three windows were done one up from the 'limo-tint' shade.... and the front two.... fully road legal of course....

... nice one mate... thanks for the compliments...

When I first bought mine, I really didn't like the silver paint but over time it really has grown on me. I did the headlight mods in one hit (detango, black sprayed surround, and HIDs) first then debadged the rear.
Over time, I ended up with bigger (black) wheels, splitter and rear vortex thingy....

There's a couple of other small things I'm looking to change but it's almost finished....

...in fairness.... you're attempt was a lot more difficult to get right.

Looking at both pics... I'm thinking of just doing the roof but also the 'upper blade' of the rear wing..... whaddya think?

I wouldn't be brave enough to do it on mine, I am sure it will look good though
Maybe a black bonnet scoop as well?

Cheer buddy, think ya right there

Love yours with the matt roof and spoiler tip - Totally Dynamic - have had some very great reviews, may be worth getting quote

Spoke to Terry re the tints - just cant make up my mind though (thinking about lightest tint all round). See ya Sunday

funny you mention both Terry and TD.... I was thinking of popping down to see the North London branch of TD at some point this week. Hopefully they can sort out a good quote for getting this work done..... although I doubt it'll be ready for Sunday

I do need to pop down and see Terry and look at getting a 'sunshade' style front tint done too. Word of warning though.... last time I saw him, the lightest tint he had was 40% which is still illegal and likely to get you points.

Catch you Sunday mate.... nice and early....

Plan to pop over and see Terry on Saturday as I'll be in Essex having my coilovers fitted . Spoke to Terry last week and he's got the 50% stuff in only down side is the law .

At the end of the day may just go for the rears and be safe.

Roll on Sunday
