TheOwlTwooo Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 So, I decided it would be a good idea to re-spray the engine cover gloss black.Out it came... It had a clean and a de-grease with iso. Then primered it... So it began...Once touch dry and masking tape removed....Waiting till the paint has hardened a little, then the triangular unfinished areas are going gloss red to match the red bits inside Think it'll look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOwlTwooo Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Right, well..Gave her interior a bit of a clean today, and thought Koop'd be interested in my phone holding device. So here she is. This is the little magnet that holds it in place. Its absolutely SOLID once its stuck on, really pleased with it!!(Sorry its dark outside. Haha)Also, cleaned engine a little today aswell.Thought it looked quite mean, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOwlTwooo Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Right, my chrome side repeater bulbs arrived today.So did my xenon bulbs and some yellow headlight tinting film (was just going to try it and see if I like it, to hide a scratch on one of my headlights...)Some aero wiper blades should be here sometime soon also.Like a kiddy at christmas.

DaddyC Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Good to see you're keeping up the woman stance and doing what you're put on this earth for..........

TheOwlTwooo Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks mate, thats awesome!I might call you up on that.And cheeky with the woman based comment I just fancied the red bits just to brighten the whole thing up a bit. I might well get bored of it at some point!Thanks for the nice comment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOwlTwooo Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Got the chrome indicator bulbs in the front, along with the brighter headlight and sidelight bulbs.Look much better, although I am a little peeved that you can still see orange. (This is the plastic surround for the bulb. DAMMIT!)Going to get the side repeaters in tomorrow I hope.You can see a little less orange than normal I suppose.
