ripped_fear Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Ok just had a play with the number plate surround on the laptop and toned it down a bit so its just plane and simple now. Think this is the final design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) While waiting on a few bits to come to finish off the engine bay I have turned my attention to a couple of small areas I need to address. First off is the interior, I am now going to finally sort that out and get rid of the carbon sticky stuff, once I have done that I have arranged to have a Full LED conversion done by 'heckler' as its one job I keep putting off. When that goes in I'm thinking I will fit a 52mm gauge into the clock position just for looks. The other bit is the wheel/brakes, as the weather has not allowed me to tackle the brake painting and decals Im going to acumilate a few bits and do the whole area. So as mentioned earlier I have the paint for the wishbones. And I have just ordered my self a Set of Steel red wheel nuts. And hopefully I can find some wheels soon too but if not I'm just going to space my current ones, and maybe refurb them, as the lip has tarnished a little and around the centre caps the paint is lifting slightly Here is a picture of the nuts I have just ordered.

ripped_fear Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 My custom bits have been completed and they should be on there way to me on Monday. Also just bought an exhaust manifold heat shield, haven't decided if I'm going to polish this or paint it but either way should look nice.

Noz Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have a heat sheild for an NA, I was tempted to clean it up and paint it and sell it on. Car's looking sick mate. Those tops really set the rest of the chrome off. It's true they say you need to go the whole nine yards with chrome and it really does work together. Looks awesome mate.

Thanks dude, there's no point doing it in half's other wise the bay will just look odd imo. Really happy with the caps but it make my power steering tank look dreadful so I need to re polish it, a do a good job. You should clean it up, maybe polish it, i'm sure someone would be interested.

ripped_fear Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Are you going to polish yours? Not sure yet may give it a go, but im not sure if the heat from the exhaust will make it go off colour very quick. Thinking of painting it silver or maybe black.

ripped_fear Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Just bought a new set of centre caps for my wheels, too get rid of the cheap chrome things that are on them currently. Going to spray gloss black, add a decal and clear coat them. Also have found the bit of the rear bumper I was looking for, so I can try out an idea as soon as it arrives.

ripped_fear Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Got a few bits through today. Got my new centre caps so tried them on, Got to decide if they are paint gloss black, Gun metal or silver now. Still undecided. Also popped a set of the new wheel nuts into them to see what they will look like and I'm very happy Also got my new heat shield though today as well so that I think i'm going to start polishing tomorrow if I get time after work. Also got Some more paint to do the dash again lol, 3rd time lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
