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!

[tucpal]

well i like them they look different the inserts have not arrived yet
i will make my mind up on them whenever they turn up

[Cameron UK]

Look spot on with ur window chrome

[tucpal]

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

[Turner_SRi]

Very smart

[Dicko]

Looking good mate

[tucpal]

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.

[tucpal]

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..

[Rusty2009]

Looks good mate I used the tint spray on mine, make a big difference

[Cameron UK]

Looks good!

[tucpal]

The Transformation is now complete
with the addition of some black mirror covers..

[WhelanUK]

Love it, best looking J I've seen

[Cameron UK]

Told you they would look good!

[tucpal]

thanks it really does tie it all together

[Dicko]

Snap like the black mirror covers mate

[Rusty2009]

Looking good mate, was good to see you again.

[SI SRI]

Spot on mate. Love it.

[tucpal]

thanks all

and it was nice to meet you again also rusty
sure will get to the bottom of that issue soon,

[J1ODYA]

Black sun strip across the windscreen would look good!

[tucpal]

agree there i have got to get one done again but on the inside this time :cool

[tucpal]

here is attempted no1

[Rusty2009]

Needs to come down a bit more and be darker.

[J1ODYA]

Needs to come down a bit more and be darker.

You mean much lower & much darker lol

[tucpal]

agreed i did say attempted no1

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

[Rusty2009]

You mean much lower & much darker lol

No I meant what I said

agreed i did say attempted no1

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

not sure on that fly eye stuff looks odd and has holes in it

[Rusty2009]

something like this mate

[tucpal]

Yes like the old one I took off a few weeks back

[J1ODYA]

Personally try not to make it that dark, maybe a medium tint to match the grey of the car.

[tucpal]

I think you are right just a medium tint will work

[Cameron UK]

On that pic it's too low, like u say, I would use a medium tint

[Rusty2009]

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.

[tucpal]

Well the second year MOT has just been passed with flying colors
and 12 months new tax also added

[Rusty2009]

[tucpal]

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

[Dicko]

Excellent

[Rusty2009]

Does make a difference one of the first things I did

[Lewis6317]
