SaqTRD Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi All, About a year ago, i brought my first supe, a AeroTop TT i storm blue. I brought the car with the intention to respray it as the paint was really bad. Almost a year on, i finally got round to spraying it. I decided to go for BMW Cosmos Black! I also did the headlights and had the active spoiler body coloured. (Pics below) So, Heres what it looked like before: - http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/B1.jpg http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/B2.jpg And then the work began, The car was in primer ready for painting after all the little dents were fixed: - http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/P1.JPG And then what the car looked like just after it had spent what seemed like ages in the oven. http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/SP1.JPG http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/SP2.JPG http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/SP3.JPG http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/SP4.JPG And finally once it was put back together and how it stands right now! http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/S1.jpg http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/S2.JPG http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/S3.JPG http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/S4.JPG http://www.chaudhri.org/saqib/S5.JPG Thanks for looking!

SaqTRD Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks for all your comments guys! Still have a few more things planned for it. I dont want to go mad with a bodykit, would rather keep it subtle. Next on the agenda is to refurb the alloys! Anyone know any good polishers I like that:cool: thinking of doing the same colour with mine. Its funny you should say that Jamie, I want to fit a FMIC like yours to the front of mine! I think yours would look amazing with the active spoiler sprayed up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boys at GSK bodyworks in Bedfordshire done an amazing job! There was an orange RX7 in there getting work done to the front bumper. The owner had GSK fit a full bodykit and spray it orange a few years back. Will try to find some pics later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I choice not to mess with it and left it stock. It goes up when you start the car up and then comes back out when you go over 60 MPH.

JamieP Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Am i right in thinking the komos black has a tinge of purple in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaqTRD Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Am i right in thinking the komos black has a tinge of purple in it? No Jamie no purple in it mate. I think its just the way the lighting is in the pictures. To be honest, its not too far from you colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the komos may be the one i want then. Is it the carbon black that has a tinge of blue/purple in it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaqTRD Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Sounds like the komos may be the one i want then. Is it the carbon black that has a tinge of blue/purple in it then? Yeah thats it! Carbon black has purple in it. I went to BMW to have a look at colours when I was trying to choose, Kosmos Black was the best colour closely followed by BMW Sapphire Black.
