Thought if doing the rust, needed a respray so why not be a bit different, so bonnet, roof bars and tail gate all going black........ seen it on an Audi R8 and thought it would look cool :)

Yea, my mates, been doing it up for ages ! :)

Getting excited :)

 

She's almost finished, had probs with the primer cracking on bumpers and spoiler, was supposed to be the correct one for the job but after 3rd on its finally ok :)

 

One slight perk was coz bumpers got mucked up I got my wheels refurbed !!

 

Got to admit its taken far longer than expected but it was mates rates and paying off bit by bit, but he has done a fab job !

 

 

Anyway, pics to follow soon

Thanks mate :) I did debate, but I've wired them up as just indicator/side lights rather than running lights, easy enough to change if I want though lol
