Finally shes got some good shoes! looks tonnes better! But I can't help but thinking that you need to put more chrome on the car so it will match the wheels. I dunno, maybe its just me.
Either way they look the goods on her!

Keep up the good work :)

Cheers boys.

I want more chrome, I just don't know where I'll be able to whack it on.
I'd love chrome vinyl'd door handles.
That might have to come into play soon enough.

And I reckon that the chrome argents are so much more unique than the charcoal argents. How many chrome sets do you see?

Cheers,
Russ.

i think it's more commonly refeered to a pearl, but from what i under stand it's a gliter put in the paint, i can't say this in a way that will make sence to you as it hardly makes sence to me but i was meaning you could use it to add a bit of a chrome look to the car or something like that

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, okay.
Yeah, but that's IF I respray it.
Which I probably won't, it's not too bad atm, and I don't want to go pouring tonnes of money into it.
If I won the lottery, that'd be a different story.
Cheers.

There's a difference between flake and pearl, I'm fairly sure.
Never-the-less, it would achieve the aim.

The wheels look good, good find :D

Chrome on a dark coloured car looks good, I'm biased of course.

And agree on the mudflaps, look better without em and prob be more practical as well.

This is of course only an opinion. Please don't hurt me :(

Lucky for you,
I agree. Haha.

Thing is, I went to take them off, and there is HUGE amounts of silicon and s**t underneath them. :S
I left them all on.

Could cut off the mudflaps/silicon then heat up the area where the silicon is but leave a amount on. Then using ya nail, no kidding, pending on how soft/hard it is, spray a small amount of silcon spray between the silicon and paint and sort of roll it off. Very time consuming but does work and once it kinda starts, becomes easier

The Silicon spray gets between the paint and glue and of course makes it come straight off but at a fraction of a time.

Silicon is a real hassle. There is a silicon glue remover but very strong and prob eat away the paint.

If in a unseen area, try the way i mentioned in a test patch area and see how she goes.

Cheers man,
I'll have to give it a go soon.

Haha, it's all good.
Atleast they don't have stupid fcking fins like the FTRs. They were a c-u-n-t to clean.
