Iains blacked out stealth Rs

14 August, 201312 yr

Seeing as my car is nearly done (if they ever can be!?) i thought id build a wee thread showing how it progressed.

Bought the car in November 2012 just turning a year old 1 week after i purchased it. So first thing was first, home and a coat of wax and couple pics...

So it stayed like this for a full 8 months or so as i enjoyed owning a newish car for the first time ever before i began to get bored. I hatched a plan...Keep it clean, keep it fresh and keep it stealth with no mad coloured wheels or in your face stickers.

I decided on a course of action -

Tint front and rear lights. Decided on yellow fogs for a subtle touch of colour, worked out well imo

Lower it and get the stance right, still need the spacers but the coilies are on and it's sitting pretty.

Do front grill carbon and replace the rear badge with a new style one done in black. Carbon wrap needs redone though as the stuff i used was old and to dry.

Powdercoat'd wheels in a darker colour. Eventually went for "graphite grey" after much deliberation!

Tinit windows lightly and get sunstrip applied - STILL TO DO

So it went from the standard car you see above to nearly finished in a space of about 1 month.

First up was fly eye kit for head lamps and carbon wrap for grill followed by the fitting of the coilies -

Few days later done the fogs yellow and toy'd with tinted DRL's (still not sure) and took it to it's first outing, Glasgow cruise where it got some good attention. I decided i was headed on the right path and continued down it.

Couple weeks later I fitted the new style rear badge done black and had the rear lights lightly smoked. Done a full detail on it and Took it to SVAG 2013 where it got some good attention and nice comments again.

So after a few mishaps the wheels were eventually powder'd. They shoulda been done 2 days prior to SVAG but there was a problem, then had to cancel my appointment the following week due to work related business.

Heres how she stands today. Roughly a month ago being totally standard.
