Predictable, good handling which can easily be drifted.....best of both worlds....hate to say it about a bm though! Cos apart from that they are boring as f@#$

had more fun in this 316 compact than i ever did in a hybrid octavia

Looks really good :-) How much did this set you back if you don't mind me asking?:-)

Cheers bud.. cost 500 for the body including black grill and vinyl on b pillars (yet to be done)

8 coats on body and 12 on bonnet, wings and front bumper.

Got a couple more pics which I think show off the finish better that I hijacked off their fb page complete with scarily purple looking wheels haha!

I didn't think I was going to like the look of this when you first said about it but although only seen in pictures it actually seems to really suit the car. I've always liked Matt colours but wasn't sure on the red, you have changed my mind on this one Scott. Looks really good there buddy

Cheers Craig85, I haven't even seen it outside in the daylight yet either as it was dark when I picked it up and dark when I started work this morning too!

Haha, I bet it'll make quite a statement when you do eventually see it in the daylight.

It does look very smart in the last 2 pics so in proper light think it'll look sweet

Looking good Scott I' ll have to arrange popping over for a look and maybe book mine in for the rapid sport 2 tone job. ( not telling SWMBO)

I'm pleased with how it turned out Chris, my mates z4m is in for a white plastidip with a black roof today and tomorrow too so I might have to sneak a pic of that on here to show you another example!

Beading on the plastidip

Looks smart mate, shame those wheels look purple tho :/

Now I like that.!! Really striking.

They just don't seem to photograph very well at all :/ i think gloss is the way forward for them i think, but leave them dipped for now over the winter

That's looking pretty F£$%ing sweet I've had a bit of a rethink on the Rapid 2 tone possibly going for this look

 

I love this colour and think it would look good on the octy with carbon wrap roof and B pillars. what do you reckon?????

 

Awesome colour!! I say doooo it!!

That is a stunning blue. Absolutely gorgeous.

I second that notion. Dooooooo iiittttttt.!!!!!

Even SWMBO likes it    only thing that puts me off is the name of the colour FRENCH racing blue   still an awesome colour. Just wish I could afford the XF RS Jag its on lol.

If you've got the nod from swmbo then that is just screaming dooooo it!

That jag is just a bit sexy too!!

Think this will be happening after Xmas, will be coming across the river to have a butchers at yours Scott. Would it be best to have the roof and B pillars wrapped before or after the dip???

It depends really if u want to keep the wvinyl on after you remove the dip or not when you get fed up of it...my b pillars are obv getting done after but it's personal choice I think!

Quite welcome to have a look.

If you have fb then you can find some of their work by searching for "davefstautomotive" or "FSTplasti dip and vinyl wrapping" I think.

Haven't got FB mate, but will defo have to arrange a visit to the southbank in the new year.

what do you clean it with? id be too scared of rubbing a bit off although with that many coats should be ok

Just snow foam and a sponge does the trick! Washed it once since I got it back and I did kinda sh** myself a little bit at first, but it's so far, so good!
