Looking good, got a BRM just down the road from us.

:wave:

[Taphouse]

Trophy blue looks the muts clean. What wheels you thinking?

My BRM was one the best all round cars I've owned.

[welshone]

Just some more straights but painted in anthracite.

[sarah]

Looks very nice and tidy ;)

[welshone]

Just need to try and stay away from the kerbs now :crazy:

[stamford]

Looking good, but I do prefer standard or white on trophy blue tbh.

& what colour are yours :laugh:

But i know what you mean I thought the same until I got these on. Only got them because they were cheaper then getting a new set of tyres ;)

[stamford]

Indeed but I do have the stainless rim to break it up. White is on the horizon one day ;)

[welshone]

Malcolm passed his MOT today with only 2 minor advisories :D Need to treat him with a few new parts now :)

[Mr ZS180]

I totally agree.....




but then I'm biased :thumbsup:


Malcolm does look clean though. What else you got planned then?

[peterzs]

Always a good feeling when they get through.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[ZS Phil]

Great looking example, I really like the anthracite, good choice :D

[welshone]

Had a little play today some good progress made as it takes me ages in doing anything on the car :yawn:

First up is I attempted to put my flyeyes on the rears. Had these sat around for a good few weeks and don't think I warmed them up enough before playing with them and ripped one :( So did this instead.

From some angles it looks ok but from others it just doesn't look right and the colour isn't quiet right :(

Next up was the Mk2 grill which I started months ago. Slowly getting there with this one :)

Reckon you are trying to get onto, "the dressed area"..........

Do look good.

:wave::wave::wave:

[welshone]

I've been playing with some sticky back plastic again :laugh:

Originals already in the car.

Blue ones which I acquired a while ago with coloured door cards.

Or do I cover them all like this.

I like the blue carbon effect, look great if the rest of the interior was done in it..

That's hopefully the plan ;)

[Dan1971]

Personally - not that keen on added blueness inside ..... :sorry: .... but I DO like the UJ ....

I thought that about the blue interior I have, that's why I haven't installed it but I think the Carbon effect blue isn't so in your face as the standard blue. So going to give it a go.

UJ was only going to be on there for a meeting down at goodwood a few weeks ago. I'm still undecided on them :/

Here's one fitted :)

Looks good, different.

[welshone]

That's the vents done, now for stage 2 the Heater surround, ashtray and gear stick surround. Then the final stage of the door cards.

[gary saunders]

Looks good.

OK, my second attempt at the flyeye stuff. They were waiting for me when I got home tonight. I took the rear light clusters of the car his time and did them indoors. Was much easier this way. Going by the colour of them in the dark they look like a much better match then the last one's I got ( got the midium blue last time and the darkest blue this time. Here's a uick snap but i'll get a better one in the daylight tomorrow :)

I know it's not to everybodies tastes but I like them :p
