Got the car back from the paint/repair shop after having a full body respray. I am really happy with the work done. Ill post up some pictures when I get some decent ones.

first day of having it back and the handbreak let loose and it rolled down in to my dads car!

Did that put another scratch back on the fresh paintwork????

Remember to always put the car in gear!!!....never trust the handbrake!!

Luckily no, its filthy so I cant really see at the minute.

You need to update this...

Finally getting around to a small update. I've had a full body respray and complete front plastic trims replaced so the car now looks all fresh.

I was shocked at the price for all the bits off the bumper when they came in really cheap at around £70 including centre grille.

I've had the tape removed from the middle of the spoiler, the rub-strips removed and new Depo headlights fitted with new HID's.

I had the black roof and door window pillars peeled off and done fresh in blue to complete the full body respray.

After seeing Luke's (XA0SX) blue dials and buttons supplied from Dark_Hero I couldn't resist getting mine done! They really stand out and transform the interior.

Here is a few pictures. I look forward to hearing all of your opinions of my car good or bad and especially recommendations. I plan on getting Xenon lamps, wheels refurbished in matt bronze like the Rota's. I also plan on getting K-Sport 8pot brakes as the Brembo's just get too hot.

Thanks for the interest

This is the wheel colour I hope to achieve.

Fifth picture down is now saved as many of my rolling screen savers on my laptop looks lovely!
