I have no idea, i did want a grey colour but decided on black the vinyal down the side nedds to go abit darker and i have bits and bobs that need sorting rust wise. But its almost done just need the engine bay spraying up and smoothing abit. I did say keep the outside as standard as possible so i will blue pinstripe and it should look standard but sporty:thumb:

Quick question can anyone photoshop the blue pinstripe on????

If you give me 20 minutes mate, I'll reinstall PhotoShop and have a go... It's been a while since I've used it though...

Ill install it again now

Do you mean near the rear arch i just had a look and it looks dented but its where i decided to take the rubstrips off one day but then half way through thought noooooo. So put them back on and they look wonky and bumpylol there is a dent on my front near side arch and one on my roof really small. Thinking of a full respray butting keeping side vinyal on. My bodyshop is cheap but i dont fully trust there work especially on a full respray:confused:

Right.. Bear in mind I haven't used PhotoShop in literally years lol.. So it's pretty crappy, but eh, least you get a basic idea... Plus, I couldn't get the colour properly...

Will look better with the blue stripe imo.
Looks quite a good job, colour looks just gloss black to me.
Nice.

Thanks for the photoshop its quite good deffo putting the blue stripe on now just got to find some any ideas. I think i need to go darker on the vinyal in the middle and probally a nice gloss black on the alloys as they have been really curbed up and need a refurb:thumb:

Yeah, the sides need to be darker... And I might even have some pinstripe like that at work... Is it desperate? I'll have a look tomorrow if you want, and if not, I'll see if I can find anywhere to get some...

looks good mate, i'm thinking of having my bumpers done like that and to be honest 90 quid sounds quite reasonable!
