That looks very smart with the new black bits! Sorry if Im being thick here - I've prob not read something properly before from your previous posts - are you spraying that orange? Also, how come you've got the VX? Is it a customers, yours? Or just a project you're doing up and selling?

i bought the car damaged bout 7-8months ago, so finally just got round to repairing it! got orange bits for it from another vs but its staring this yellow, with few more black detailing going on like grill and badges if they go back on! iaz

going out to laquer the car now, its not to cold which is good hope i dont get any runs!!! will have pics up latter! iaz
