  iceberg 172
I went to veiw her after veiwing around about 7-8 others and decided she had to be mine:approve: dealer wanted £3500 because of it having full history and because it had i aftermarket exhaust he thought it added on £200 to the asking price.

A few weeks went by with out doing much more but then on one weekend i decide to borrow the buffer from work and give her a little paint correcting session and as luck happens the sun came out and she started to pose.

Lying in bed one night i thought to myself ''i wonder what it would look like with all the badges painted grey'' so the next day i went to work on the idea.

Everyone was painting their wheels gray so i wanted a piece of the action so off to work i go and while painting the wheels i would re-do the bullets in the same grey as the wheels.

Very nice car Slammed, love the dark grey pieces and the attention to details.

I'd like to copy your car but I'm not sure if i would be able to refurbish and paint the wheels by myself. They asked me 300 euro do to the job so DIY or new wheels, with lower ET and less weight.

Did you paint them with the bolts cover on? Why?

Hey, awesome car!

Just curious as to what paint product you used to paint the badges etc with? And how did you do it?*

*I'm a total novice to this stuff and I want to give it a go on me car!

Thanks!
 
  Not got a car
This is awesome.

Leave the wheels grey, they go with the bullets ect.

Love that you have painted that plastic bit on the bumper, Thats gave me and idea to colour code mine now!

does it pull off?

i took all the parts off. rubbed them with a red scotch pad, wiped over with tack rack, quick coat of plastic promoter(plastic primer) and then couple of coats of colour then laquer.;)
