Hmm...

I was quite impressed by your series of DIY mods... a standard 'loon made to look rather tasty... then I thought "Why ruin it by painting it orange...?"

But then I saw the wrap process, and I was quite impressed. Not liking the black stripes left on the bonnet / boot though, would have been cool all orange, but the preciseness (a real word?) of it is really quite good.

I like it. Sort of. 8)

Cheers mate, i know what you are saying, i was a bit like uuummmm when i first saw it finished but now i like it as it breaks up the colour a bit and adds to the skill involved in the "preciseness" of the job.

Plus i have just ordered my new wheels, black centres with chrome deep dish rims which will help carry the black theme through and then the interior next year will mirror this with black leather vadar seats with orange stitching.

i liked it befor as all black and i like it now, so all is good.

thanks for your coments, i like constructive feedaback, better than just slagging it off.

:D

No problem. No point in slagging off a car that's a bit different just for the sake of it. Not something I think I'd do myself, but then everyone is different!

With the new black centred wheels coming, I think you're right, it'll carry through the black 'extras' on the body.

Vader seats with orange stitching sound interesting too.

Nice to see someone creating an individual car for once without being too over the top.
