[Gooner_Mike]

Found your thread mate! That badge does look crap with the red inserts... much better all-black. Keep up the good work!

 

[deedaskrh]

[deedaskrh]

Update: Got the roof Vinyld black

after ages waiting for a decent price i decided to forget about painting my roof and actively seek someone to vinyl it lol after about five minutes looking i found the place an hour away from me..............and they could fit me in that very same day.

heres the results

sorry bout the dirty car

dont know about you but i love it and for only 90 quid.....................WINNER!!

Looks smart, i was looking to get this done but i only found one company in Southampton that wants arount £180 for it. Where did you get yours done?

 

[deedaskrh]

a place in Bristol, its about an hour from where im based so i wasnt too bothered about the drive!

£90 quid tho thats a bargain!!

Loving the black roof, not to keen on the black lights though.
But love the car, top work.

 

[deedaskrh]

i changed the old chavy ones now you can see the newer ones on one of the roof pics

 

[Shaunyboy]

Black mirrors

 

[deedaskrh]

yea was thinkin of doin it myself tho as theyre just two small insert things but not to sure lol im pants at painting

 

[Shaunyboy]

id do them if you got them to me, your not too far away

 

[deedaskrh]

im based down in tidworth mate so yea miles away lol cheers all the same. would i need special paint or summit or would a rattly tin of spray do it

 

[Shaunyboy]

Rattle cans if your good , just take your time and use thin coats of paint, too much and it may start to run, then its an arse to get it right again if you dont know how to. Sunday afternoon should do it then leave them in a heated room for a few hours.

DIY sprayed mirrors FTW! Really easy mate, I did mine: got them off the car (started pulling at the hinge end), then sanded down a little, few coats of grey primer then about 3 coast of matte black! Do it, it will look great! I'm liking the vinyl roof...

 

[robk2009]

looks good mate, mine is being done as we speak lol black roof and mirrors (sprayed)

 

[Reuvers]

yes! black is definately the way to go
