[Matt]

1 wheel painted, 3 to go

[kingy]

just done one of mine and f*cked it up. well gutted. still 4 to go for me.

[Matt]

It's not brilliant, but going to do the other 3 and come back to this one if I have time

[kingy]

thats what i thought but i dont think i could live with myself and i would have to punch myself everytime i cleaned my car when seeing the f*ck ups that i had left.

[Matt]

Meh mine just needs abit more sanding between spokes, can be sorted but want them all the same colour, I know I'll get a decent finish on the rest, but want them all for before FCS, along with respraying the rest of the car, there's a fair few things which are coming first haha

[Poodle]

will talk when i see you later

Missed this bit of dodgy dealing last night, sincerely hope an agreement was reached.

[Fozzy]

Hehe, nothing was really decided, apart from i had an engine and matt wants it. Thats as far as it got haha.

Oh yeah where's the pics matt, i wanna see the colour

Pic later

And I'm having that engine and everything I need to fit it.



What will I need? Haha

[Fozzy]

You would need:

Engine
ecu with transponder
Cambelt and waterpump
(i feel more is needed but i cant think what it is)

Stuff you already have or can sue from your engine
Alternator
manifolds
PAS pump
Aircon pump unless you have stuff to bypass it.
The loom should be the same so i was tol anyway.

[Matt]

Sweet price me up then foz

Pics

[Scott]

YES. Well in mate

[samass]

NICE!!

[4WayDiablo]

Haha no offence matt but didn't think you would be capable of such an epic colour/finish

Top job!

[Matt]

The finish on that wheel is fuvking shocking, seriously I'm appalled with it, there's some deep key marks and a couple of runs. But you can't notice from a distance haha. But cheers guys. 3 more to do. But to a much better standard

[Matt]

Oh and there isn't any laquer on them and phill I'm actually quite good at spraying. Just don't really spray much lol

[Curt]

That looks fricking sweet mate! Are you lacquering them yeah? Cos you'll be able to remove the majority of imperfections (providing there's enough colour to sand) with flatting back. It'll also give them a lot of depth and more protection

That answers that then! Haha. Like I say though, get rid of any imperfections with 1200ish grit before lacquer...

[Matt]

Nope these are horrible imperfections will means it will need to be sprayed again. Basically I'm goingbto do the other 3 properly, it I get a chance before FCS to go back and do this one again I will. Might get a dremmel. This was hard to get my fingers between spokes lol

[Poodle]

Haha, good work Matt. FYI, think that XSi head might even have some lairy cams in it, when i drove fooby's t'other night the power delivery wasn't anywhere near as brutal when it came on cam. Was fookin sweet though, and the noise, oh the noise... :drool:

Colour looks awesome! Should be sweet when all four are done. You going to do any more colour coding to match them?

[kingy]

they look a bastard to sand mate. im having a job doing mine. the ones in my sig. good look with the rest matey.

[Matt]

Lairy cams = win!!!!

I'm undecided, I want to do more purple, but I think things like petrol caps/wingmirrors look stupid. I'm doing the towing eye but not sure what else lol
