Noz Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 No problem mate. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing I've helped make that engine bay look sweet. Custom is the way forward If you need to get the number plate surround cut let me know. I think that would look awesome if it was sprayed marble? http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee65/jay_forever21/2012-01-25205345.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to pinch the idea if i can slip it in somewhere subtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Shouldn't take you long Jake. Might as well pop round when you're done and do mine, be a shame to waste the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Clear heat resistance paint? Never seen that. I'm gonna do my UK's before I fit them, but having multispokes no one will see them its lacquer and its actually motorbike paint for fuel tanks will withstand certain heats but not excessive heat. Only bought it due to putting the stickers on and dont want them to peel of when i jet the wheels down. You will still see them wont you? a bit atleast. clear lacquer OOo got your own project section !! Details count mate Yeah finally made it into the section! Shouldn't take you long Jake. Might as well pop round when you're done and do mine, be a shame to waste the paint. Haha pop round, your the other side of the island Would be more than happy to help at some point if you want to do your though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ok today was a total flop, could get the brakes painted today due to the sub zero temperatures, so instead i thought i would clean up behind the wheels but the weather soon cut that short, I managed to do one arch! I have decided I am going to get some more black paint and some silver paint now too and do the wishbones. So once the springs are fitted and its all paint it will look nice and tidy. Heres the result of one arch with just a bucket of soapy water and and elbow grease but thanks to the rain I had to stop. Got to love British weather, wish I had a garage.

ripped_fear Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Got a bit more done on the car today, First removed the drivers side front wheel and gave it a good scrub behind as i did on the other yesterday and it came up nice. Unfortuantly due to the temperature painting was put on hold again today though. Did find my silver paint though so will use that for some of the suspension parts when the weather allows. Thought this was all I could do on the car today, but had a knock on the door and Robs dress up kit arrived! So got to fitting those and then gave them all a touch of metal polish and they looked very nice. many before and after pics bellow Once they where all fitted I gave the whole bay a quick clean.

Rob_Mitchell Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Every little counts and for £20 a bag i think its a good bit of bling. The big holes left along the wing, i put a couple in as dummy ones, looks much better than having a hole there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Thanks mate I may just do that, didn't realise they where threaded in those holes. And like you say for £20 they are a bargain Edited February 1, 2012 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks mate I may just do that, didn't realise they where threaded in those holes. And like you say for £20 they are a bargain there not thread, you can be clever and slip a spy clip there like i did OR super glue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 there not thread, you can be clever and slip a spy clip there like i did OR super glue cheers didnt think they where. Will do that I think as the wholes look stupid, thinking of filling some of the unused ones in the bay and paint it all in stock silver.

Noz Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 that shroud has really changed your bay IMO. i think there was too much black, and the chrome shroud really makes that bay look mean. looking good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving the work man, can't wait to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
