Mr Moley Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Last mod for today was to tint the rear light strips, mask them off, spray to tinting spray, leave for 20 minutes and all done! It isnt as dark as this up close it's very subtle which looks great!Before,Masked:One done:Both:And done:While the lights were out the lighting mounts were in terrible condition so i got out some bilberry and a brush and set to work!No after pics but they were squeaky clean!Now i'm shattered. Next day is thursday! Another full day See you then guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lermy Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 lights are too much i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) lights are too much i thinkmaybe need all the red at the same level with just the reverse lights clear. (dont know the legalities of tinting) but it should look betterAnd by the way, your car is soooo shiny in this pic of the wheel arch that the reflection of the hedge looks photoshopped!

Mr Moley Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 The rear light reverse section is going to be sprayed red like the rest of the light tommorow (today) and the black like i said really isnt that dark. Ill try to take some better pictures for your guys! The car is far from shiny, i'm looking to get it to a much superior standard, i MIGHT be done by sunday if i pull off a full day tommorow and sunday. But i doubt that highly haha!Another big update coming tommorow!Keep watching guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lermy Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 it just seems pointless then to me getting a mirror finish on a black car thats going to be used every day, your going to be forever polishing it with a mop, but i guess thats up to you at the end of the day, it does look good though as is coming along nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Moley Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Few pics to upload later but for now im going to remain pissed off. Went to pick up the wheels earlier and the guy who did them doesnt have a key for the gate to get into the road where the bodyshop is and the guy who does it out having food with his mrs. SO im gunna pick them up tommorow on the way home from work at like 11pm ish. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxi Adam Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 gutted bout the wheels, look forward to seeing them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Moley Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Touch wood im getting the wheels today. Whether i can get the tyres on by the end of the day is another story! Lots of pictures should follow today!!! Look out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Moley Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Here we go,So i picked up the wheels with a pretty poor paintjob which is going to be re-done as they need some real perfect masking and prep to get them looking amazing but they still look pretty sick. They rub like an absolute bitch! Gunna need to flare these arches to give me some room to play with. Had a hell of a laugh today with a mate sticking the wheels on, the car looks 100000% different. I knew it would. Here a pic of some of the gear i had bought from eBay to keep things moving along nicely. A new "illest" sticker to fill a gap and my new scirroco aerial which looks a hell of a lot bette than that shark fin ****!Gear:The aeriel looks matt black but its just my grubby finger prints.Onto the wheels!Coilovers started like this......Ended up like this:Adjusters were taken out and springs cable tied down....How much fun does this look!!!New wheels!!!!!!Looks like i had bags......**** bags haha.And after all that, my furry friend!Still a hell of alot to do to the car!More updates will follow tommorow!Give me all your opinions guys!
