Default Type R finally getting there

Just had a full machine polish and cleaned up nicely so decided lights needed to be done also





Feel free to let me know what you think

That's very nice. Only suggestion would be a smaller front registration plate.

Try www.fancyplates.com and in the special instructions ask for a 10mm border around the letters

Looks like you paid someone to machine polish, how much did that cost you so I get an IDE of what to pay! Looks mint as how it would of looked in the show room. Well done

Paid £150 for it to be washed, detarred, machine polished, lime primed then waxed bud. Was well overdue as car was clean before but no real shine or depth. Thanks again everyone. And also to mervil as my new smaller plate is now on its way ;-£

That's looks well nice. As he says though mate he had to put 18's on to clear the brembos and the p1 wheels are a 17 iirc. I can't get 18 on and even if I could not sure would look right. Do love them wheels though and thinking I love the colour of them brakes too. Hmmm ideas again lol. You go to the dun cow ever Marshall?
