I'm lovin' the "You liked this" sticker below the rear plate!  But I'm not so fond of covering up the chrome bits - but then again I chose a silver-ish colour on my car when an identical red one was right next to it at the dealership, so we've got different tastes.

Yeah i didt get to chose color and if i did i would chose silver to ;)
BUt i got this as it was used, and its  a lot better then nothing  :D

RIght now i am thinking of taking of the red vinyl on the grill and make that black or even carbon, and then just leave the rest =)

Thanks for comments much appreciated =)

Where can one get nice exterior vinyl in various colours like that?  I can only find carbon fiber :rolleyes: on e-bay right now.

Do I have to cheer for the Vikings? :yahoo:

I found a local sticker shop that might be able to supply me with a little bit.  If that falls through I'll let you know.

Yeah they might have it , only way to get the right one is to use an ORACAL fan, or a M3 one , to match your cars paint then they can find the right vinyl to fit ,

Next plans are maybe making my car roof Matt black,

Also had some plans of maybe aksing work if I got sponsored I would totally matt black all of it , but will see  =)

I'll tell you what, glac, they all look great :goodjob:

I found the best way of viewing the pics is to click the first pic, then use our highslide viewer (and move forward arrow) to compare the pics as they superimpose on each other :D

I prefer number 3

Number 2 takes my vote as it's closest to my plans.  I'm not doing the hood or chrome/emblem cover though.

Here are the pictures you can really see how nice the red vinyl goes on the car, and I am keeping the front as it is, I dont want to spend money on vinyl, as i love the red " clean "look ,
But the white wheels is what im unsure of might just go with silver ones or something or dark grey.












Also here is a quick chop of how I want it to be in summer.
Before




After

I think black or Dark grey (not white) I like white wheels on a white car but black/dark grey looks better on Red in my opinion.. I even say so on our homepage... :goodjob:

I was going to photoshop a set of those wheels onto a red CW for that thread but I think you might be better at photoshopping than me so why don't you try it for this thread  :happydance:

I think it was 2i30's who worked out how to get the clips off each end that cover the bolts  :confused: (I will try some searching) My guess is you just prise them up with something flat like a chisel (they will be tight)  :confused:

Apparently I worked out how to do it according to this thread .. See UM's post  :confused:

sorry again , for asking but is there some pics showing it ? ; i cant see any =(

EIDT " nevermind , I manged to get it off , and realizing that it cant be done, , and here you can see why  = (



So i guess it wont happen, at least not until I can get a angle grinder, and remove the studs and then magically find a way to replace the plastic bits missing lol
