I was thinking of carbon wrapping a few bits after seeing Jules and Lee Wong's car at AITP. I know carbon wrapping can be a slippery slope to go down but going to try and keep it subtle - front splitter - side panels. Your car’s stance now sits very well especially at the front as I think also the front is a little too high on std.

I see your down for ADI so will look forward to meeting you. Cheers, Gav
:blackrs4:
yeh was well happy with the price for the job they did! its a 100% improvement over the tired standard look!

im loving the carbon wrapping and have done some quotes for the future! shame more cant be done about matching the engine bay bits but i have put the Revolution carbon intake on the list since seeing them made its a want!! this is an expensive game haha

Look forward to ADI! car will also be at Edition 38 next weekend! hoping for sun to come from all this rain :rant:

So today was the cars detail day! i took it to midlands car care in walsall!

there was a set back in time to take it over so i decided to change the DRL bulbs in the time i had which resulted in a headache...
Image

the wost happend! being tight the bulb must of dislodged from the holder and once in the hole fell out! so the drastic decision was made of bumper off with only 2 hours turn around before getting it to be detailed!

well it was off it was rude not to de tango the headlighs and sprayed the chrome bits of the light satin black to fit in with the theme of the front end and put in my indicator bulbs and DRLs and all back together! it has transformed the front end! only 1 picture but will get more soon once the detail is done!

Image

and got it to Russ at Midlands Car Care who got to work! will be collecting it tomorrow evening! he will be doing a full write up on detailing world for which i will post the link for on here

Thankyou for the comments it makes it all worth posting :thumbs:

It was said in the for sale thread that the badge is in the wrong location but it seems to be glued to the grill?

Thanks mate! i had them done at City Powder Coaters in Birmingham.

Some more pictures taken today! again with iphone so excuse me! they were done on the HDR setting as it cuts out a lot of light on the car so you can see better detail....
