Stunning work as always Nick! Love it!
Following on from the previous age.........I also painted the extinguisher cradle too. then carefully added some clear vinyl round the cage to prevent the tie wraps from marking the cage paint etc. .........

Then trial fitted the extinguisher..........

Will foys silver nova I saw at billing last year had it mounted in this position which is where the idea came from. Looks cracking I think!
Still thinking about front caliper colour I asked the legendary Southie to do me a photoshop to save me hours of work........

After seeing this I think Im going to stay with the red but do the lettering grey etc. cheers to southie again! On another note those who remember one of the first things I did to this car was to paint the horn push....... It did look pretty bland but I had an idea which I have now put into practice. The guy who sorted my vinyl knocked me up some stickers in dark grey in the same style lettering as the original vauxhall turbo tophat cover and steering wheel centres on the cav/calibra turbos which is where my idea came from etc. The horn push was rubbed down and sticker applied........

Then I took it to work and cleared over the lot and later fitted it. The momo course lettering on the wheel has been touched in black as I felt it was too much with too many colours on the wheel. I am however pleased with the result........

Front and rear lights/indicators have also had a good machine up bringing them back to life.......

Lastly I also had Southie attempt me another photoshop for one of my crazy ideas! As per the sr's two tone scheme I thought maybe I could do the rocker cover two tone? Unfortunatly it didnt look as good as we hoped. It just shows not all my ideas work but you've got to try! crazy rocker cover photoshop below!.........

Some more work may be done in the future regarding the above but for this year the freshly painted yellow covers will be used etc.
Thanks for reading, comments welcome as always!

That rocker PS is shockinglol Is the turbo cover painted or is that PS as well?
lol Was just a mad idea fella! Yes tophat cover is painted in the same grey with almost all the other bits in the bay Jeff. Regarding the Vents...... I can offer a little advice on them just drop me a pm.Quote:
