Great read
Some major work went into that, and no doubt there were points when it all looked a million miles away from completion
But you have done a tremendous job, the current white one looks amazing
Interesting that you chose to paint the kit/spoilers black. I thought maybe you would go with carbon wrap to tie in with the rest of the carbon? Or was that just going to be just too much carbon?
Nothing against the black you understand, it looks fantastic, and best of all, very unique
I say that as my skirts/lip/spoiler are a bit of a mess and i was considering wrapping/painting them in a similar vein to yours. Although now it is gonna look like a copy

Re: Lewd's Lude
^^^iv no issue with offerering inspiration
. I didnt want to wrap it all for two reasons. 1/too much wrap looks iffy imho and 2/ the company wanted too much cash. over 350 quoted
I am toying with the idea of getting the whole lot real carbon skinned though
what do you think?
I can honestly say that of the 4 years and four cars iv owned i have spent more time with them off the road than on it
the white one was 18 19 months off the road. waiting for pimping and then getting it all done.
@rob: they are placed there for future mods.
1/ Tein EDFC
2/ WoN Nos
3/Show lights
4/ spare
I may take out two and replace them with activation lights for the remaining two. I had to fill the board with something and these were a decent bling option at the time

Re: Lewd's Lude
^^its a spray job i did with my buddy. its sanmarino red and lacquer then i just gently sprayed a gold enamel from about three foot away on a breezy day. it gave it a nice light stippling.



Its a nice effect but not one I was sure I wanted to keep so i gave all the parts a wipe over with a rag covered in silicone grease. Any time I want it off all I have to do is Wipe it over with a rag dipped in thinners and im back to clean red..
