Why the hell didn't you say luke when I was talking to you about the stickers the other week lol. Oh well The reason it took so damn long was no companies appear to want to make money, I've contacted about 5 companies before this guy approached me on an FB post.

Attero Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I seem to remember you talking about it but I don't know why I would have missed my brother in conversation or if I dismissed the idea. If it's just cutting stickers out, the laser machine should do that easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Got some more time spent on the last set of spokes, they are all now at least in there first stage of primmer, now lots of layers and rubbing down to get them smooth. I have also got my stickers through very happy with them. And I have selected a colour, little more tame than first thought, but got for a VW colour. Should look good once done, and at least i will be able to get more made up in future if i need to which would not be so easy if it was a custom colour.

ripped_fear Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Ok so I'm sick to death of these wheels taking so long, so it with much regret the supra will be braving the rain tomorrow on the drive, and Im commandeering the garage to get some progress on the wheels. Im hoping to get them looking fairly good so look out for a nice update. However in my spare time i have been buying parts for the interior for a little plan i have in mind, Thinking of re-doing the whole interior over winter with a new look. Somthing i have only seen done on one other supra. This will be a surprise for now while i accumulate parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor supra has been evicted to the drive for the night, but nice to see the car again. lol Have also tried plasti dipping one of the bronze centre caps. As im unsure on color choice for them.
