Thought I'd share a few pics, see what you guys think? Had all the silver bits redone in shadow chrome, and front and rear end repainted to remove stone chips etc.. Also had the silver done round the rear diffuser which I think looks ace!!

That is looking really good mate. Not many green ones about but they do look lovely.

Yes, the silver bit around the diffuser does look nice, would depend on the colour of the car though.

Green is nice in the flesh, have questioned my decision a couple of times but in the right light it is a nice colour and most other times it looks practically black.

I have the same issue with chips to the front and a mystery scuff and scratch to the back bumper. Will be going down the bodyshop route later this year.

^ always have liked your car Jim. :thumbs:

Dannorton, the car looks great. Get some more pictures up in the daylight, etc. I like the silver trim breaking up the rear bumper and diffuser it is very akin to the B8 RS4.

Agreed danortons car looks really good in the pics Marc. Will look even better in the sun.

Changing a couple of things on mine just now. Spacers, gloss black wheels and gloss black mirror housings this month. Hopefully adjustable springs next month. Pics will follow!

Btw my names not jim! Sonny was a childhood nickname just added jim for some reason.

Have you tinted your rear lights or are they aftermarket ones?

Cheers guys! Yes it's stunning in the sun!! The rear lights have been toned using laquer and black.

Im also looking to get mine done, been for two quotes so far, one was £600 and the second place never called me back.

Got a couple of other places to visit next weekend.

Looks good

Tinted lights spoil it though IMO

It makes all the difference and feels like a new car when cleaned and polished.

Very Nice,
Just got the front end of my Sprint Loon re-done last week, must be the weather for it!!
Must get sme pics up.

I have to say I really like that silver bit around the diffuser, really sets it off.
Might have to copy that, be interesting to see what it looks like on the Sprint Blue.
