Job sortedHaha I didn't fit it, I just stood there and watched as someone I know did because the biggest thing I could probably do is service a car at this point in time hahaAnd I was thinking just paint the mirrors for now as most cars have black plastic around the mirrors anyway, centre consoles look a bit tacky colour coded in my opinion, even though I'm about to stickerbomb mine haha Quote

F3rAL Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 Yeah, will do mirrors and door handles, centre console I think will do metalic silver, not sure yet. Will update this tomorrow or Tuesday when i get something done Quote
Roosy Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I like what youve done dude looking minty fresh will look loads better without the bump strips shame about your focus Quote
Stulet-GTT Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I had no idea it will come out like this, but looks like, polish (t-cut) can bring anything to life It is deffo back to life from the first pic... Quote
