[Seid']

[Matt]

For Lols



Now ready to paint

[Seid']

[Niall]

Please tell me your not painting it like that?

[Matt]

White. And sticker?

What do you mean Niall?

[Niall]

With everything scratched into the bonnet like that.

[kentiiboii]

I think seid means take some stickers off
I've just bought the eBay coils ftw sticker as well .
The wheels look ace. Stick in there though. Mine have taken me so long now I'm on my 3rd. The other 2 ain't perfect but they're good. I think next year I'll get them powder coated instead though
All my centre caps are now finished and look awesome just need polish .

Keep it going though Matt can't wait to see it

[Seid']

I think seid means take some stickers off

Thanks. The S fall off ehehe

[Matt]

Nope bonnet has been right sanded back. These were taken mid sanding lol. And I can't take the stickers off. I love them. About £50 worth too lol

[Seid']

I dont mean take all of them, but some, is too many, or then organizes them

[Matt]

Haha, I love the randomness too much, although some are coming off, outdated/ruined ones. To be replaced with fresh ones

[Curt]

Stickers FTW to be honest. Niall don't be a pleb!

Gonna look sweeeet

[Matt]

Some of you may know I've spent the last two days at curts respraying. All sanded down today I set upon te task of painting so masked up an made myself a DIY spray booth















Most usefull thing Chelsea have done all year



The almost finished product





Still to do

Mirrors.
Smooth front bumper. (in progress)
Respray rear bumper (same time as front)
Replace rubber bits
Finish wheels.


Not far off being done now

[Toby]

But .. But .. In the photo's you've sprayed your rear light cluster bulbs

Edit: And could do with more pink bits

[kingy]

oh mathew, hope you know what your doing mate. really do hope this turns out how you want it to. good luck mate and as toby said, you will need more bulbs.

edit... are those rear lights legal. i like em.

[Grant]

Looks a better job than the first time mate. Looks smart in white!

Have you used a Matt lacquer? Primer (if that is what you used) adsorbs water if left unsealed. If otherwise I'll shut up lol.

[4WayDiablo]

Haha as Toby says you have painted your light cluster? Lol
Paint looks good although a little thin?

[Curt]

It's Matt white, and the bulbs were already sprayed by the previous owner, so are getting replaced.






















As Matt said the bumpers and grill are yet to be sprayed so ignore them...

[Matt]

Yeah need new bulbs

And they are standard lights kingly just tinted and totally legal

Paint is very thick, it's sprayed with primer then Matt white.

Will have Matt lacquer very soon

And then will be flatted

[Seid']

black mirrors plz

[kentiiboii]

Tbh don't keep taking pictures of it. Cos the quslity isn't doing it justice. Either get a better camera or wait till fcs. but sure it will look epic.

Thought you had your wheels off ATM for spraying?

[Curt]

Don't take pictures of it? Be an interesting project thread then

[Poodle]

For a brief moment i saw your spray booth and thought you'd let Niall loose with the shrink-wrap again.

Got my fingers crossed the drying time was enough fella, will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Very possibly Mark

[Matt]

I have a better camera it's just I used my phone. Picture quality is alright. Curts pictures are taken with a really good camera
Mirrors are stayin white. Think they look so much better than the black.
No I don't let Niall loose haha. It would all be pink otherwise.
Dryer ok even though it's pissing it down now lol.

Wheels are coming off in pairs. As I cba with re thread locking my rear spacers lol

In my defence the tab might have been open a while when i replied the last post was Grants

Either way I think its been cleared up now, I shall be quiet

[kentiiboii]

Yeah you can tell his is better camera.
Hopefully will looks loads better in person . I just think the pics are letting bits down. I know bumpers need spraying but grill doesn't look right and drivers door.
