Looks quite good. Makes the car look even more aggressive. How about having the colours the oposite way...would make the respray even cheaper

 

[Red Rum]

Not sure weather it would look right the opposite way around. Ill get me mate to do a photoshop that way to compare them though

Come on then Red, share your contact for the body shop

Nooooooo dont do it! Keep it black!

 

[Red Rum]

Nah lol i think im going to do it like. Its grown on me considerably

 

[Red Rum]

Been doing a new black and yellow mod recently. I had a spare grill lying around so i did some experimenting. It still needs tidying up and laquering, but you get the idea. I managed to snap the top yellow bit in the badge off, so i need to wittle some plastic down and fit it in.

 

[Red Rum]

Managed to get the grill on today. It still needs re-doing as it a bit ropey, but i put it on to get an idea of what it will look like. I have to admit, i wasnt bowled over, but it looks better than before imo.

Also been re-doing the engine cover to a higher standard

Car needs a wash, but i really cant be bothered today lol

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

You not got any rear spacers mate? I see where you're going with the grill.

 

[Red Rum]

No.I did have but they broke. Hopefully going to buy rash's when i get the cash

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

How did they break?! That's really quite worrying...

 

[Red Rum]

The centre spigot that goes onto the hub broke off from the main disc. Only noticed when it started clicking when the wheel was turning

 

[T. Spark]

Same happened to my old spacers mate. Liking the grill honestly.

However scary how you have posted a picture of what I have already looked into for a vinyl idea! My red car, with what you have black, in white. Scary!

I asked the guy before I whent on holiday, and just popped on here and seen yours. I wasnt looking to have it so wide, but think that looks nice

Ask him to do a red ibiza with white there please whilst he is at it

Grill looks smart. I want to do the same thing to mine, except the yellow... What primers/paints did you use?

 

[Red Rum]

i got the idea from a black mk5 golf with cream roof and bonnet to grill and cream bentley rims. Me mate has just done me a couple more photoshops with the strip coming from the side of the headlights and it looks stunning ill try and get them up asap

 

[Red Rum]

Used grey etch primer, black magic paint and a few coats of laquer. Used ford signal yellow for the inbetween bits

 

[vRS_Dave]

Thanks!

The badge looks good, it might look better if you paint the part around the 'S' yellow aswell like I did on mine.

 

[daz_cymru]

[Damoegan]

[daz_cymru]
