Post Thu Apr 14, 2005 10:55 pm

Imy what red is that? I'm gonna do mine towards the end of the year and
im thinking of doing it Imola Red? Is that a new kidney grill!

Need some pics out in the day light!

Looks sweeeeeeeeet!

Something to aspire to!

Post Thu Apr 14, 2005 11:03 pm

Lovely - looks very nice

Post Thu Apr 14, 2005 11:05 pm

Its original brilliant red James. Was thinking of going ferrari red but thought best to keep it original. Yeah new kidney grill, don't know if you saw it before, there wasn't much of a kidney grill left!!

Post Thu Apr 14, 2005 11:12 pm

OMG what a beauty!!!!

Post Thu Apr 14, 2005 11:14 pm

no i didnt se it before!

I swaped mine for a black kidey grill never, been to impressed with it
where did ya get yours from? think i might go back to a shiney one?

What do ya reckon to imola red? The only reason i like it is its not
as orangey as the older reds?

Nothing against yours though looks spot on?

Post Thu Apr 14, 2005 11:27 pm

i'll have to find a before pic....

Imola is nice, i have seen it on an e30 M3 on s14.net. Ferrari red is good too. i think all reds fade with time though.

jimbo, i will swap you a black grill for my shiny one?

Post Fri Apr 15, 2005 12:30 am

you sure rags? mines only a home made one not that you can tell
unless you look at the back of it?

Post Fri Apr 15, 2005 12:41 am

well, i was just going to paint mine!

any better pics?

Post Fri Apr 15, 2005 5:45 pm

Sorry off topic!

Just paint it rags!

I got some wet and dry and took it back to plastic then went down my
local r/c model shop and brought a little 200ml spray can of satin black,
bonus with that is that paint is designed for plastic r/c car bodyshells so it
dont need priming!

Took me bout a hour in total and cost about 2 quid!

Still not sure about mine though!

Post Fri Apr 15, 2005 5:55 pm

no i was just saying, no point wasting a good chrome grill! :lol:

Post Fri Apr 15, 2005 6:11 pm

If it realy is a nice shiney one rags then i would be worth a swap like you
say! Just mine was looking a bit tierd thats why i sprayed it!

Post Fri Apr 15, 2005 8:30 pm

shiny as fuk, clart

Post Fri Apr 15, 2005 8:44 pm
