Well wheels are done, am well pleased with the colour, the aim was to get to a simular colour of the recent CF wraps that id started a month or so back.
It has a Metalic fleck to the paint so can capture lots of different light depending on the daylight on the wheels.
I didnt want plain Black alloys as i dont think it suits a red car unless you Red lip it which is what everyone of late seems to be doing.
oh and finished the last of the Carbon Wrap inside to go with the CF centre consol. :happy2:
Sorry car is filthy and shes very dirty and not her usual shiney self :ashamed:
good weather this weekend so will post up a couple of better shiney shots so you can see what im saying better :happy2:

Steve, in recent weeks you have absolutely transformed the exterior of your car - from what was a very normal red ED30 (no offence meant), to something of pure beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stunning...you must be well chuffed :happy2: :happy2:

Anthracite Pescara's FTW :innocent:

RNS Version B Pazz (dave) should be in my hands around the 2nd -4th June.
Cheers everyone for your kind comments, i cant get over how different she looks, just a few touches here and there have made alot of difference.It looks better in the flesh then by poor Photography skills.
Agree would be good to lower her slightly to really complete the look. Will no doubt be asking peeps advice at our up n coming Grand Slam at superchips. :drinking:

They do look sweet. You've obviously been paying attention in class young Steve :signLOL:
I do like that dash very much :happy2:

That is looking sweet...
I have to get mine off the MonzaII's and onto something else..
Maybe 19"
Where did you get the dash kit from, is it actual CF or is it plastic or genuine wrapped !!
Cheers,
Z

i wrapped it with Carbon fibre effect wrap myself. My car has had it front /rear wrapped with the same stuff .
Have a look at this thread to show you who started this, and my idea to do a few bits extra.
