Nice one George....soon be burning rubber ;)
If Airfix plastic model planes are made exactly to scale, why don't they fly?

just wanted to clarify you know the people who are painting your car it isnt a proper 2k bodyshop paintjob it is a plastidip product that can be peeled off at a later date.didnt want you to get confused with a normal paintjob that can not be removed all there products are peelable not 2k paint..

I have decided to go with a vinyl wrap, as we missed the deadline last time, through no fault of my own, AutoXclusiv are asking for another £200 deposit  :-\
The car is being wrapped on June 11th
I know some of you might not be a fan of vinyl wraps but it's only temporary and will get it painted in the future
So I thought as I'm going with a wrap I might as well make it a bit special and I am going with a brushed metal finish see pic

Sha has told me once the wrap is done the car will be ready for collecting a week later  ;D

Hi George cars looking great ,but I must admit you hav got me confused  you hav mentioned a couple of times now that the dip then the wrap are only temporary ,all the hard work in painting a car is getting it to the stage you are at now so I don't see how it can be any cheaper to wrap it at this stage rather than put the paint on cheers Jd

Hi, thanks for your interest, it's not about the cost.. Wrapping is the best option for me at the moment..

It's been a while since I posted an update, good news the car is finally in paint :)
As the exterior is almost complete, I am looking for someone to help me with the interior,
It doesn't need to be someone who does interiors for a living, if you have done your own interior and fancy the challenge again, I will of course pay the going rate :)
Any ideas or recommendations let me know thanks!!

Let me know your opinion on the colour I have chosen!

Love the colour
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
