Hopefully more updates tomorrow, very tired tonight

Any and all ideas/pointers welcome... people in this country seem to think coilovers/cut springs and a set of replica alloys is "dapper" and "sc3n3" and all sorts lol

I prefer more than buying a 2010 car and dropping it to 40mm .... gonna drop it do it right 100mm

Welcome. 5th gens look good in black, yours looks like a good one too, so congrats on putting the work in to spruce up the condition again.

Do you plan on getting the rusty arch repaired? Replacement panels are available off the forum, if so.

Cheers for the welcome gents

Rust isnt too bad, just a bit on the surface from what my sprayer tells me but you never know lol

Cara in overall good condition but ive slightly warped the discs from... "aggressively overtaking" a few performance cars lol

I find it easier to overtake without using the brakes.

Well the end of the road contributed to excessive wear on brakes lol

So continuing from where i left off...

State of the wheels when i got them...

So work began on all alloys refurbing them

Flying prelude

They werent in the best nick

Sanded them all down, look pretty damn good with that polished metal effect

First coat of primer (etch if i recall correctly)

Second coat

Sprayed with a custom silver with a blue effect

So while the wheels were being done i decided its time to give those brake calipers a bit of colour

Cleaned first of all

Not amazing detail but got the rough stuff off as we were on a short time frame

Coat of primer

Undercoat of silver with a few sparkly bits

Top layer of blue with blue sparkles (fleck or something i think the actual term is? someone with knowledge help me out lol)
