At the end of the day Nick, with cars like this they will never be finished! When you get to the top end, there will always be somthing you want to improve on. It doesnt matter how good you get the car, you will never feel it is perfect. But that is part of the fun!
Your car is 1000x better than 95% better than the cars appearing in TV, including mine! So i say persue it, and get the recognition you deserve.

Cheers fella, and I know what your saying but Id like to put a few more ideas into practice first. Once I know there will be no more big changes and only minor ones as said Id like to have it done. If tv are interested and it comes out half as good as andy b's or yours I'd be over the moon. :)

Ive always preferred the look of drilled items and they'll just be a straight swap as I already have the v6 setup on. Thats it for tonight but some more on the bonnet tommorow once pics are uploaded.

HI Nick, i just aquired some brand new red-dot for £20 and liked the look with the paint, what did you paint these with, where they primed first

Jeff, what you want is an acid based etch primer. It bites into the surface and wont flake, then I just used a silver aerosol to finish. pretty simple tbh just read the label on the tins/aerosol and make sure the primer you buy has etching qualities and you should be fine fella. :)

You'd need a 12 page spread to have this car in TV. Too many trick little bits, and too much bloody attention to detail perfection. OCD at its best. :thumb:

LOVE IT! lol
