Update time chaps, Had a few nights in the garage this week and got the rear of the car fully prep'd, etch primed and then using a red aerosol Ive half coloured up the rear too. As said earlier this will save me a fair amount of time in the booth hopefully on friday evening after work. As I couldnt source any new grommets I left the ones I had in a tin full of cheap thinner overnight. This stripped the paint from them so they almost look like new which is a bonus as in my opinion painted grommets look pants. So heres where we are now........

As said above hopefully all being well I'll use it for work friday have the brackets removed and then paint it friday eves. Saturday should see the car demasked,inside waxed and then put back together. :)

Will look perfect all painted up. Really wanna see this car in the flesh.

ive been through most pages on this thread and attention to detail just wows me,in all honesty the car never left the line in better condition,credit to you nick,just utter Exellence
ps i know every page on this thread has the kind of comment ive made, but it realy is an exeption.(id build an extra room in the house personaly for this car:) :thumb:

At billing last year I came up with an idea I thought at the time was original. (I now know there are some around) I liked the idea of having carbon manta mirrors. So I asked a few people who are in that business and no one was willing to completely make them from scratch. So I opted for the next best thing and sent some covers to Don fulford... They came back great as I was very happy with them until One day I spotted some on ebay! And these were the real deal one hundred percent carbon. So I purchased them straightaway leaving me with two sets of mirror covers.....

Just with the small difference of one set being whole carbon fibre and weighing in 20g per cover lighter than a standard set... get me weight saving!!

Unfortunatly with the bonnet not likely to see the car for this years shows Ive been a little undecided about them as I thought they would compliment the bonnet perfectly. So for now I decided to sell the Don fulford covers and painted up some more covers in body colour today at work and got them back on the car this eves.....

Given the carbon panels etc in your interior, I think they'd fit in with the car perfectly with or without the carbon bonnet :)

One last thing for this eves then. I noticed my new wheel centres were coming unstuck the other day and as they are not even a month old I wasnt best pleased! At first I thought it may have been my fault in not degreasing before putting the new centres into place but on further investigation I noticed they are a two part sticky item and the two pieces were coming apart from each other! I keep browing ebay for some original black speedline items like I used to have but to no avail at the moment so I got these instead......

Id really like to find some original black speedline jobbies and I know you cant get them new.. only the silver ones are available now but hey these will just have to do for now. I dont think they look too bad. Thats it for tonight hopefuly some more progress at the weekend. :)

Nick.
