Or not decided yet?

ive not decided yet mate i think they both look good i think i will have to pinch your pics and do a poll when im ready to do it

[Zayyan]

Fair enough, I think most are purists though who will say do it like the first pic as the second one with the whole bumper painted looks a bit Roy Bacer (though my intention was to make it look a bit "Sport" )

At the end of the day it's your car so you can't really let other people decide what you do to it.

[wayneE30]

did you spray the door bumpers aswell?

or did you take them off?

[Zayyan]

Do you mean the black plastic bits along the side of the doors that stick out like this?

I just left them as I knew people would be opening doors on them in supermarkets etc and if I painted it I knew it'd get chipped off and I'd be constantly respraying.

OK it seems to take away any spaces you put before typing.

[wayneE30]

yeah

[wayneE30]

the black bumper thingy in this pic

[Zayyan]

No I've left that for reasons explained above

It doesn't look as odd as you might think looking at the car from the side.

[wayneE30]

personally i think that might look odd have you got a side pic of your motor mate so i can have a look

[wayneE30]

i have just had some good news i've just invested in some wheels

[Zayyan]

Elliot's?

I was thinking about having those!

[Zayyan]

They'll look good on your motor matey

[wayneE30]

Elliot's?

I was thinking about having those!

yep

[wayneE30]

originally i was just gonna sell this car after i fixed it but ive decieded to do it up a bit first just need to fix the bloody engine

[Zayyan]

Nice one

I'm just looking for a side pic at the mo by the way, I haven't forgotten

[wayneE30]

are you any good with photoshop???

[Zayyan]

Nope, never even used it!

[Zayyan]

Here's a side-on pic, doesn't look as odd as you might think does it?

Though to be fair I will probably do the door bumper things when (if) I paint the rear bumper....

[wayneE30]

never mind then i was just thinking about spraying them rims red or blue in the five grooves and thought photoshop could help me out but like you mate i dont know how to do it

[wayneE30]

that acually looks quite good i like the rims

[Zayyan]

The rims are being sold (reminds me I've gotta take close-up pics for the potential buyer ) as I couldn't stand the ride quality

Did look good while they were on though

Really not sure about your plan of spraying the spokes of the rim body-coloured

Perhaps black or grey but red rims?

just an idea i would like to see it befor i do it should start a thread and try and get sombody to help

[Zayyan]

Probably a good idea, or PM someone who knows their way around Photoshop and has too much time on their hands.......Sjoerd!

It will look awful though - it's like painting the front grilles or kidneys body-colour, a good idea in theory but looks k () when you actually do it!

[wayneE30]

ive just had a thought i have done a mod every day this weekend mirrors sat wheels sun now eyebrows tomorrow so whats the best way to fit eyebrows??

[Zayyan]

Marvin Medium, as I said

You need to remove the foam strips along the tops of the grilles, and then stick the brows in place. Easy peasy

[wayneE30]

just glue it in place no nuts and bolts surely it cant be that easy

[Zayyan]

Easy peasy

[wayneE30]

Easy peasy

[Sjoerd320i]

[Sjoerd320i]
