JamJay's 290bhp Ovni Yellow LCR - Latest: SOLD & Replaced With A BMW 335i Cabrio

[JamJay]

There's an FQ350 (I think) where I got my wheels refurbished and it looks gorgeous, nicely lowered and I love that it has rear Brembo's too. There's also a red one near me, I have never seen a red one before but it's covered in carbon fibre (D.K, close your ears) and has a huge carbon front splitter on it & black wheels...i'm in love .

Anyway, enough about those. Thanks for the comments . Keep your eyes on this topic as i'll be fitting the HIDs at Xmas time, i'll try to do a detailed guide from start to finish.

I have more pics of the spacers waiting to go up for anyone wanting them but I can't access photobucket at the moment.

Looks sooo smart, I am having thought of getting my front bumper and bonnet resprayed, Even a good wax and seal doesnt seem to stop the stones

And thats on a Black LCR

 

[JamJay]

Thanks CupraK, black was my first colour choice to be honest but I don't miss the swirls and stone chip marks. I'd say go for it, you won't regret it and you'll drive about 5 car length from the car in front from then on

I bought a mags g220 kit, still hasnt really helped the swirls, with using the proper pads so i think i need more work in the summer.

The Brembo peel is my first port of call, it annoys me more than the paintwork,

 

[JamJay]

Brembo peel is easy but just make sure you degrease them properly otherwise you'll seal in the the dirt and they'll look poop.

 

[cuprak04]

yep, just getting a dry weekend as well thats a pain

 

[JamJay]

It's ridiculous. I cleaned my car yesterday and it looked immaculate, I had to stand back and admire it but last night it's tipped it down and when/if it dries, i'll have dirty rain marks all over it. I try to wet wash off the real dirt and keep on top of the rest with lashings of Quick Detailer.

 

[cuprak04]

Yep, i tried a few quick detailer. try to do an extra coat of wax on the bonnet and front of the roof if i am doing long journeys. Its helped a bit but the black shows dirt as well.

Hi all, some more pics of the spray job and the spacers for anyone wanting to see them. No major new updates although I have a 5k HID kit with slim ballasts ready to go in, although I am not aloud to open this until Xmas Day!

 

[JamJay]

Got bored today so re-did my O/S Brembo caliper. I went for a new design, what do you think?

This is what it should come out like, I did the N/S a week ago but all the rain has dirtied it up a little.

Love it, cute dog too!

 

[Snatch]

look good with the new spray job mate!

Really tidy Jam, pic with the dog in it is nice. possibly the cleanest ovni on here me thinks?

 

[JamJay]

Cheers again people. That's my little RSPCA rescued chum, looks tiny next to those wheels huh .

I discovered that I have only a few 'mm' of brake pads left on the front so it looks like slotted discs and DS2500 have been added to January's list.

Will be back end of Dec with HID pics.

Looking good Jay, mines in the body shop now, just getting a part respray but its better than nothing, should get it back Thursday.

Oooo nice, what part(s) are you having done?

 

[Phillc]

Bonnett, bumpers, sills, part of the roof due to lacquer peel, door strips, door handles, the guy is matching to my paint shade so should look good.

 

[JamJay]

It will look great Phil, more than anything I was pleased that it's all one colour. How about the fuel cap and spoiler? Fuel cap is tricky though, normally it's hard to do without blending the whole quarter panel.

 

[Phillc]

Yeah, he said he would try but as you say its tricky.
