I think it looks sweet it's not over powering cause it's not constantly on view I would stick with it.

I wouldn't do any more though any more and you will over kill it

Had a joint feature done with a couple of other cars last Thurday. And what a location, Telford Motor Spares! Had a good time meeting some new people and a massive laugh at a McDonalds in Telford with Jacko, Jono and Si.

Did a couple of 'choice' mods especially for the shoot, one inspired by Jono, cheers dude!

Also added a couple of pics i found from another forum that i liked.

The mods:





Few pics from the shoot:





And the 2 other pics i liked:

Update: 26/8/08

Quite a big update this time!

Firstly, i've sold on the banded steel wheels. Although they are sold, the new owner is letting me keep them till my new wheels arrive!

The next thing is, its back in the bodyshop. Its getting a few repairs done, such as the sideskirts and the spoiler that has cracks. But while its there, its having the front number plate recess smoothed off and the ariel is also disappearing!

Oh, and did i mention its changing colour......

Got it inside and started taking it to bits while Phil started on the number plate recess.







Action shot of Phil sanding down the first layer of filler.



And the second layer



And the ariel all smoothed off




Thats as far as we got today. More updates to follow tomorrow.
