think thats a bit over the top for me and bet it's not cheap

cheaper than you would think mate, plus you can have smoked chrome, coloured chrome or shadow chrome. Proberbly be around £1500 to do a car but you'd have to ask him

Just sent Dave a box of Impreza bits to do a trial on so i'm waiting for him to send it all back so I can see the results. You can literally paint anything with this stuff as long as it will take a 25 degree baking temperature.

Hoping i'll have the only chrome inlet, rocker covers, fusebox cover, lids, cam covers, bottles, header tank and alternator once he's finished

Carbon this and carbon that, been there done it.

Save your money, carbon takes a lot to make it fit right, is heavier than OEM panels in a lot of cases, and is totally out of date IMHO.

I would love to have my wheels done in shadow chrome
As for car, what you like? A simple colour, something a bit more adventurous, do you want to be noticed, blah blah blah.....
There's lots out there for the right money etc.

How about airbrushing? Vinyl wrapping? If your having a lot of carbon, then maybe just plain black (looks better with carbon imo) and you will have a stealthy look to the car

Only pics i have are of it in the bodyshop so scuse the polish, dust and bits missing will get some better ones soon, its a bit more purpely than the pics show, for some reason the camera doesnt pick the colour up too well!




Had wheels and lots of engine bits painted too

love it where you get the boot lid and roof are they real carbon ?

Kirstiestar

iTrader: (2)

Thanks! Yeah its all real, i bought the boot and spoiler off here i believe, and the roof came from Simon @ JGM but apparently they are pretty rare for classics
