Yeah they work! Well done. Interestingly they actually look like a satin finish to me.  :goodjob:

After much deliberation a friend of mine hooked me up with these.
Should be on next week

They'll do the trick :goodjob2:

They look good!

I think a set of gloss black mirror covers will complete the look to match the tints.

Personally I think black mirrors on a coloured car make them look unfinished, like someone forgot to paint them :D

Those wheels also look like a Satin finish to me as well which don't look tacky like gloss accessories do.

I can see both points of view on this. On a wite non prem SR I think gloss black mirrors might look pretty good.  Not so much on my red one maybe.   :undecided:

I have a white one so this is what it looks like from side and front. I guess I'm going for a 'Panda Spec' :p

can't wait to see how the ROHs go :D

100% agree on the de-badge.   Now to paint the rear Hyundai badge Black..  As it can't be removed as there is a cpl of holes behind..
The rims look great..    Do you know if they are any lighter than the standard 18's ????

How have you gone so far with your intake??

cheers mate,
Yeh that was the plan, did you just plastidip it?
did you take it off or mask it up?

Yeh the intake is going well.
A little loud on part throttle but sounds good when giving it a hit.
Did you fit the heat shield? i havent looked at mine yet
cheers

That's the benefit of Plasti Dip, you don't have to remove anything :) sheet off the rear of the car leaving a hole for the badge - give it 3 to 5 coats and when done peel off the sections in between the badge and any over sprayed areas.


Autobarn sell the genuine Plastidip, it's better than the imitation stuff from Supercheap.

Yeah I took my badge off to paint it. Using this :link: Aerosol Paint - Acrylic, Satin Black, 400g | Supercheap Auto
Just using a heat gun & a plastic type credit card works wonders..

But as Craig mentioned above. Plastidip will also work as well..     Whatever you would find easier..

Yeah I have the heat shield fitted. Must say it does look pretty good & tidies up the engine bay. And the sound is also quite good..
