Galliano Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 i think thats a darn good paint job for a beginner.. although... im not a great sprayer myself.also not over keen on the reverse scoops, but its your car, your choice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 just got back and my c-pilla bar had tried to be delivered but instead of the driver putting the note in the post box he mailed it! which then meant snack time for the dog.i got home to little shreds of delivery notice. and i cnt make out the name of the company. damn dog!

BenV Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 a little update. after a hell of alot of trouble i recived my brace (no thanks to parcel force).so i thought yey il pop out and fit it now.well who ever said that you could fit it to seat belts buy getting a longer bolt was wrong because of some unique thred thats on there.so after some drilling and reeming the standard bolt fits through. then i had to dremel the nuts out of the seat belt mountsso the brackets could fit correctly. not the easiest of jobs to do if you dont ave the tools at hand.but after all that its fitted and looks cool as feck!also ive taken my scoop off and ive sprayed it again with some new paint! will post some new pics up by the end of the weekend.
