TheTurtleshead Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Not sure I'm gonna be parting with this bonnet I'm afraid mate, It's unique and I like things like that. He was a nutter. He wasn't taking anything less and I was getting fed up with trying to find a mint set, Their not easy to come by in this condition. Damn straight, he said he hasn't managed to find another set since, regrets selling them actually lol! Fair enough, looks like i'm making myself a hump for my own bonnet then.

Supra Gaz Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I spoke to that nutter Vinny yesterday, he told me what you paid for those seats you crazy man! :O They do look well though. Yes,he is mad, I rang him too, very odd. I pictured him in a shell suit for some reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.m Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Quick photoshop courtesy of Mike2JZ, Thanks mate. Could be on to a winner. I will try and get someone to do a photoshop with the engine covers fitted when they arrive, before making a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Have to agree with Jamie and Abz here mate, but I've never liked red! Robs not on to a bad idea either, but carbon is the new black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.m Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thanks for your input guys, I do like the carbon one but fancy trying something different. I wont sell it just in case. Not sure polished would go very well as the cam covers are chromed, might be a bit to much. I'll wait until they arrive, fit them and ask kindly for some more photoshop options.

steve.m Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Started to give the wheels a spring clean yesterday. The U.k weather really Isn't kind to polished wheels, they need constant attention to keep them at their best. I keep contemplating getting them powder coated as I do get fed up with trying to keep on top of them, but they look so good as they are. Both fronts done, just got the rears to do. A few before and after pics for you. Before After Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.m Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 They've come up real nice mate, what did you use? Bet it took a while! Thanks mate. Used Meguires metal polish, various machine polishing tools and finished off with poor boys wheel sealant. The front wheels were the worst, they took about four hours each.
