Thanks alot for the comments guys! Got me in the mood to get some mods sorted!


I was planning on using a company called Belmont Metal Finishers. They demount the tyre, refurb & Re-paint @ ?46p/wheel.
My only issue here is, they paint, rather than powdercoat!
Were you planning on using Lap-Tab? I've heard great things about them, and they powdercoat. But logistically, its tough!

Thanks buddy. The Remus is just the Backbox & Tailpipes.


Thanks again for the nice comments guys!

 

Looks fantastic. I'm not digging the mud flaps but the rest is exactly how I want mine to look when I get my 172's and boot spoiler.

What about getting the windows tinted?

 

Nice car.

Where did you get your trunk finisher, and how much did you pay for the LCI tail lights ?

Why are the Mudflaps not included in the styling section of your signature ??

 

I totally understand the need for mud flaps where you live. How flexible are they? Have you ever given thought to having them painted to the body's color? At least on the outside / side view of them, and keep the wheel side black?

Great looking car! I only wish you weren't going to paint the wheels so dark. Just a few shades darker than they are now would keep them looking nice during bad weather times when you can't keep them clean, but I'm not a fan of dark wheels anyway. Just my own opinion though ...

 

Great pictures! Thank you for sharing!

 

Car is lookin sick sick sick Sagar.....

 

Yes, that's the one I was planning, but then I'll have to spend the whole day in birmingham. The other option is Wicked Wheel, have not contacted them yet.
So, is powdercoat a lot better than paint?

 

Car looks absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!

but the mudflaps are a real distraction...it's the old question of form over fashion....I vote fashion...loose those babies.

 

I actually got a quote from LapTab and for a full refurb and powdercoat it came to ?350 for all 4!
I'd rather do the powdercoat however, paint sometimes chips and isnt as hardwearing, although in saying that, to get a good powdercoat finish, you need a long time for the rim to be cooking.

Thanks man, Im planning on lowering the car, which means I'd be tempted to get rid....I've got a feeling they will leave a hole where they have been fixed onto the wing. Ill do some investigating today!


Thanks again for all the nice comments
