looks good mate. I think that the cage needs to be another colour though. looks a bit too cartoonish.

Good detail :cool:

Amazing transformation. It always baffles me how much cleaner a clean looking car can get.

Bet you're well chuffed. Car looks mint. Nice mods too :)

Neighbours loved it lol.

A lot of people aren't keen on the yellow bits, but I really don't know what else I'd do them in without it looking too similar to other RB's out there. I think it works personally... :)

Lol fair point.

Looks stunning, not fancy the cage in white to fit in with the rest?

:D Thanks mate, I had toyed with the idea... but I'm a big fan of yellow on RB and already felt I had enough white on there with the wheels/badges/stripes. In the future, if I get bored... who knows :)

The cage was white when I bought it off Mark aka Rufstuf lol
 
Looks very good, great result.

But my eyes can't help but notice a; pisch poor taping up, hope he didn't buff the mirror base :S b; did he take the side bump strips off?

Not taking anything away from it though, looks superb!
