Like the spraying you did on the inside in grey. Benn thinking about doing that myself....for the last year!! Have all the bits I want to spray in the garage as spares.
What colour did you use? Any tips on getting a good finish?
Those wheels dont match the car, you should sell them to me on the cheap. ;)

it was rover gunmetal grey, robbed the idea off a thread i saw by dj dee99 (sorry:p)
just takes alot of patience, the hardest part was getting the stock rubber coating off the plastics so its all just prep really rhen the paint will look a treat:chat

i would imagine it aint the best thing to do but i aint drivin mine due to the fact the clutch is dead!! until pip at wgt waves his wand over it after me trauling it to him on a trailer!!:Giggle
cheers for the comments gents keep em comin:cool
ps nice try Fish! lol
How was it painting the brake calipers?
Noticed the MAZDA painted in white, thought about doing this but I can
imagine it\'s a nightmare!
Any tips?
JB
surprisingly easy really jb, red was just halfrauds brake caliper paint and as for the white i just used a really thin brush and took it slow and steady with some hammerite which is quite thick which helps:chat
I have some Halfords silver caliper paint but I think either the red/white you have or black/red would suit mine best.
That\'ll give me something to do tomorrow.

ps thanx for good comments lol
i think i saw this down at WGT on saturday? if not, almost an exact replica. the painted calipers are spot on and look great, am going to attempt myself now.
definately not me mate, with the dead clutch its hard enough to move off the drive:chat
Quick question for you..... what length of cable did you need for the battery relocation??? Need to do mine in the next few weeks so though I\'d get all the cabling sorted ready!!!
Jono
to be honest mate i aint to sure coz i used the cable i had hangin round, :2Confused
i think the best way was to measure from original battery point to the boot then add about 1.5m for the bendy bits in routing it through
cant go wrong then i reckon
hope this vague answer helps:Hammer
