Well people said dont do it but I did and to me I think it looks the DB'S on a black car

Image

a little flex additive to the black paint and its all nice and soft with no cracks

Image

Image

Image

And as for the front end, Result! He who waits!

Image

Image

Hope fully refit the bumper tomorrow so the reg plate should be removed

More little goodies to fit

E21 recaro seat runners when the seats are recovered

Image

And a nice steering wheel

Thanks for the comments, I'm well pleased with it. The sprayer did take a bit of time as he said the rear spoiler was an absolute nightmare to piant as it acted as a sponge and kept soaking up the primmer.

Rubber spoiler will remain as it is until somebody see's it and check it out by "poke it until spider web shows up" method :mrgreen:

But it looks fresh and nice!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

I've poked to the rubbers resistance before I stuck it on to see how pliable the paint would be with the flex additive, no webs there. but with age we'll live to see. :launch

Well I said the exhaust needed sorting so the old grandad one:-

Image

turned into this with a little cutting, a stainless pipe and a spray of BBQ paint.

Image

Image

I think this makes such a difference.

Got the front bumper fitted last night as well.
