Guys,

Alongside my turbo plans i'm also considering having te car repainted whilst its off the road, and i'm lucky enough to have a friend who paints for a living which will help keep the costs down, below is what i'm planning at the moment, feel free to laugh at my xp editing skills, i did!

And i'm not too bored, honest :o:

Image

1. the line above the rear quarter and at the end A post, the top of the car down to thse lines will be painted carbon black, Including the mirrors.

2. Carbon black centres, with the rims diamond cut like gcorkys.

3. the rest of the body, this will be painted Silver Grey, including handles, skirts, bumpstrips (apart from down the sides, these will be removed) and the black part on the lower rear bumper.

4. the only futher addition to the body will be a Mtec II lower valance, with a lower splitter painted, you guessed it, carbon black.

5. light smoke tint by pentagon on all windows.

A few extras, such as clear side repeaters, front indicators, smoked headlights ans red rear lights will be fitted.

Any opinions? or anything you'd do differently?

ps. wish i could use photoshop lol!

crikey i had to look at that pic for a few secs before i realised its two tone LOL, yea thats quite cool, but i think i prefer the darker colour on the top, and don't want to use the usual swage line, id like the sides to be all one colour 8)
