baldy Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Baldy looks like a great job mate! One question.. Why did you paint the intercooler black mate? They are silver for a reason.... it was looking tired its 6 + years old now,will it affect the cooling then?ive seen oil coolers in silver and black so figured it wouldn't matter Would that be to reflect heat, im thinking of doing the end tanks but not so sure now, looks great though. Your paintwork looks stunning baldy and definetly looks like you know what your doing almost a shame to put the engine back in:D sorry this is off topic but could you recomend a primer to go on fibreglass, my front bumper is flatted back to the gelcoat and was going to use a high build max meyer primer ? any 2 pack primer will be ok,you need to key the gell coat very well though,i would p240 da it then red scoth brite it cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldy Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Looks great mate. Love that colour. Not sure about the intercooler tho. i really cant see a coat of satin black affecting its cooling capability,+ it will look alot nicer than the corroded aged look it had we all have our individual taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I would paint it back to Silver chap. Black absorbs heat alot more and will ruin the thermal cooling of the intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldy Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 stock skirts n spats are staying. front bumper smoothed no badge or number plate holes. tailgate smoothed. delocked. i might go with a trd rear wing at some stage and a carbon front lip wheels will be these when i have the funds as long as the go over the brakes but the khans are going a porsche black for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock skirts and spats are timeless An aftermarket front will or perhaps a lip if you don't want to go the full hig would finish it of nicely but the khans are going a porsche black for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Looks good, i also like them wheels but when i looked into them the offsets are a little weak my my liking, i prefer a more aggressive offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
