Not really feeling the nurburgring inserts but that's only because so many people are putting nurburgring decals on their car it's just far to common and is now starting to make me cringe, haha.. nice choice with the smoked lenses though!

just got the twin tail pipe on the car today
i had to cut the pipe to get it too fit and a friend spot welded it in place for me
it is only a temporary thing till i can get the full system made
but that is what i will be going for but if i do go for a duplex it will have two twin pipes both sides
but i do like the single twin and this will do for now

I have just had my roof wrapped gloss black yesterday with the help of camaron
and my rear roof spoiler and tail gate were repainted last week
to get rid off some bad scratches on the tailgate and a **** up on the roof spoiler
that was made a few weeks back when it got painted
but all is good now and looking perfect again
and i have given the car a good detail today also.

I am very happy with the way the gloss black roof wrap has turned out :cool

also i got rid of the sun stip from the car as it just did not look right with the black roof
and i am looking forward to not having the tax disc in the window at the end of the month when it is time to renew it
next job is to tint the front indicator lights i am going the fly eye them next week.
Decided to fly eye tint the front indicators
to stop them standing out and to blend them in to the surrounds
being a mesh tint they still let plenty of light through so no problems there.

Before..

And after..

Snap like the black mirror covers mate
Looking good mate, was good to see you again.
Spot on mate. Love it.
thanks all

Black sun strip across the windscreen would look good!

You mean much lower & much darker lol
agreed i did say attempted no1 Lol

that was with the fly eye mesh i had left over from the indicators
but i will get some proper tint next week and try again Smile

Doublethumbs not sure on that fly eye stuff looks odd and has holes in it Lol
something like this mate

[Image: Tucpal%20tint.jpg]
Yes like the old one I took off a few weeks back
Personally try not to make it that dark, maybe a medium tint to match the grey of the car.
I think you are right just a medium tint will work
On that pic it's too low, like u say, I would use a medium tint
Cameron UK Wrote:On that pic it's too low, like u say, I would use a medium tint

It is not too low and it hides the mirror plate.
Well the second year MOT has just been passed with flying colors
and 12 months new tax also added Smile
Doublethumbs
I just added a second factory boot light
and i used two LED bulbs i had lying around
it will make the boot nice and bright
now the winter is on its way and the dark nights are here. :cool
