This is a few recent pics of my car fresh out the spray booth and 2 machine polishes later (hence the polish swirls which will be removed with the final polish), The paints a total one off made from scratch using a super coarse metallic made up of 4 different pearlescent pigments added to the deepest black we could find, looks real menacing in normal light but when the sun comes out the effect on the pearls makes the paint go wild ! Its on spax coilovers 60mm rear and (will be) 65-70mm front, havent got round to adjusting the front coilovers yet. Hate the rear lights so im guna split em open and spray the chrome inside black, chrome mesh on its way, smooth scuttle, single wiper on their way, now ive just gotta find some deep dish 17' bad boys to fill those arches , got my eye on a set of Azev 8x17's with a decent offset for em. rest of the windows gota be tinted blah blah, then interiors guna be sorted in a silver and black theme. Sonly a 1200 so go ahead and laff

Bugger pics arent working so just go here:

What width wheels you running?

Maybe get some 20/25mm spacers to fill those arches more and give it exptra fatness.

Love it though - different.

looks good mate although i would get some wider wheels put on, like Tiger said to fill the arches up abit more. And i would smooth the spoiler into the bodywork and get a dual exit exhaust system going, looks bloody good though mate
Although is it black? one of the pictures shows it having a purple and green flip paint?

Cheers for all kind words again ! I put my best efforts into getting it all right and im well pleased with the result, Yeah the rims that are on it atm are just some corsa c sxi 16's i borrowed off a m8 there only staying on there till i get the new wheels, im going for some deep dish 17's, so the car will sit lower than with 18's, plus 18s are a lot more work to get them on! Im fabricating a carbon fibre GSXR-600 scorpion motorbike can onto a straight through system atm for the exhaust so should sound quite throaty . Ye the paint is a super coarse mettalic black, so its REALLY mettalicy, the mettali is made of 4 different pigments so it does have a subtle colour change, more of a metal flake than a flip paint tho.
