I wanted to change the cd player in the glove box so i could use my i pod, so when it was out i remade the panel that houses the cd player and wanted to give the flocking kit that allan had very kindly given me, out on the inside of the glove box, it looks so much better now than the black carpet i had before, also i have run the ipod lead so it just comes out inside the ash tray so everything is hidden away and is neat and tidy !

Before

Looked ok but decided to give it another coat

http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8374/pict2239.jpg

Much better colour match now, although the camera seems to change the shade slightly but its hard to get a good pic sadly.

I also dropped my comps off to be re powdercoated on wed night to give them a freshen up.
Two in the boot and two on the back seat lol

Good stuff mate, is looking good. How far away are you from having it OCD Iain spec and back on the road? lol

very nice man :)

Kev, there is not a lot let to do really just polish the drivers side re fit the wheels, a stainless steel four branch manifold decals and the tracking and camber set up properly and a few little bits and pieces, not a lot really lol, going to tax it in april so most of that stuff needs done before then !

Iam glad you like it robert mate, and yes there will be more to come pretty soon !

Cheers

Good times !
Yes i used three new plastic blocks that push into the front panel for the bumper to screw into, and new side mounting brackets that go onto the wings, i picked these up over the last few years or so
But the "L" shape bumper bar brackets were just shotblasted and powder coated black because they were only a few years old.

I love this, i'd have done the same.

looking amazing as ever! Where do you use for the powder coating iain? Needing a set of wheels done for a corsa b im doing just now.

I sent you a pm about the powdercoating Gary

Small update.

Been mega busy with work but got my wheels back from the powder coater about three weeks ago ! and the guy has done an amazing job on them , with the powder i got for him, as i got a friend to mix up the correct shade of powder to match the car body, also got new decals from compomotive for the wheels as well and painted the center caps cause of a few cips in them.

http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/8676/pict2263.jpg

http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/158/pict2266t.jpg

Two coats of polish and three coats of dodo juice wax to seal and protect the finish from break dust, inside the wheel and on the face of them.

Wheels look amazing mate

Looking good dude

Just when i thought your ocd could reach no new limits, you blow us all away again lol


Shame to cover those speedline bolts up, btw where did you source them from or did you make them?

I thought you were off your head getting your wheels colour coded but after seeing it in the flesh it does look far better than before.

Still want to get a wee photoshoot done before the graphics go on?

Wheels looking amazing mate

Looks superb mate,hope to get to see it in the flesh
