I won't know untill next week. I told them something around RAC and General Lee orange. I will be going in when they mix it to approve it.


Looking forward to seeing this painted mate. Are you thinking about lowering it?
Im wanting to get some 16" steels for mine (nearly new 195/45 toyo's are waiting), i used to have the toyo's on my VTR but its now standard, thought i could use them on the van. Anyone any idea how much a set of 16" steels would be?thumbs:

I would keep an eye on ebay. No idea on price. However not many cars with 16" steels.
I have lowered the van at the front by 40mm. May decide to lower the back.

The heat trick involves taking a hot air gun and waving it gently over the arches and they turn black before your eyes. Be carefull not to melt or warp them though. I found it very easy though.

I was waiting to hear from the guys at the garage as they said they would call me when they were mixing up the colour to see what i thought. No phone call so i went to see them to be confronted by this!!











Turned out that they couldn't get the colour right so they just ordered proper RAC orange.

How exactly does it look half done? I am toally confused as to why you think that.
Remember it is in spray booth with harsh lighting on it. It looks a different colour in there to what it really is. Look at the pictures of the back and you will see it is really bright.

well is the bonnet supposed to be ''badboy'' or are they just headlight eyebrows glued to the bonnet?

if you see anyone elses badboy bonnets, the eyebrows are smoothed in.
