Loving the updates Arun! And that US spec bumper strip
Oh, and the lurking paedo on the right;
Love you really, Phil
wub wubRob is a babe.
My car's quicker so you best shut yo mouf boy.
Progress with the wheels, finished the lips, started the barrels:
Sanded
Primered
Base coat
Lacquered, bake bihatches!
Then let to cool down and harden, then flatted down and machine polished (because I'm really anal)
Getting there slowly

How the hell are you managing results like this...from a spray can!? Or is it that essential flattening down and machine polish that vastly improves the finish? Top job son!

Well i'm managing to get a decent finish with just the cans, but the flat and polish is getting even better results

Getting the front bumper, bonnet, centre grill, door mirrors, top of the doors where lacquer has peeled, rear bumper and boot! Can't wait till it's done and the car looks presentable again!

PLEASE! Presentable? Dont be frigging silly! Shes amazing
I do think it will look better with the mirrors back to silver
I take it the bump strip is being colour coded tooo?
You may as well paint the car yourself with rattle cans, the finish you got on those barrels is slightly amazing!
I think Arun meant the US Bump strip, will look crap all colour coded, needs the black to set it off in places
I agree... Im usually a big fan of everything colourcoded, but the Bora needs the black as it just looks right!
Everything? Including the splitter and rear valance? Surely not? Want some contrast brotha!
Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That'd look poo, plus I'd rip the paint off at the first speed bump I get to lol
Thanks man. I want to invest in a compressor/ paint gun etc so I can start doing some spraying myself! Hate using rattle cans lol

Yup, as sujjy said. Don't worry, it's not all being colour coded
Car was dropped off this morning, will probably be there till the weekend, till then I'm driving this 60bhp non turbo beast
Your wheel refurb skills have pushed me on, got the 996's out the shred and started the sanding.
Think I've settled on Crackle black faces and barrels now, but still a fan of the Meteor Grey centres aswel
You having gloss black barrels/polished lips then... What colour centres you doing?
