Good colour...and the Motegi kit will really set it off. Enjoy the build, it's the fun part.

Thanks. Not as easy as I thought it was going to be but turned out pretty good for my first time! Had a few folk already asking me to do there's which I'm chuffed about, be a pro in no time.
Starting the paint after work today. Haven't got high hopes for it tho :?

I was gonna say you should expect to get plenty of requests from others now :lol:

Painting is a whole different ball-game though, yep...


Did you form up the new arches yourself, or were they bought panels?
