Lovely car. Looks great white and that spoiler is fab!! but then I've got one the same  ;D. It's a good copy of the Irmy one though and subtley nice when painted.

Thanks Horsecow, I'm hoping to get it re-sprayed this year, staying White of course! :y

Before...

And after, well... Just placed on to get a look at how it'll look....



Still needs top coat putting on but it's looking good... IMO....

Thanks guys, she's getting there.... The idea was to get one that deserved to be fixed up.
I've put some of the trim back in where the boys in blue took it out.
Put the MV6 wheels on and droped it a little.
The spolier's going to be on soon and I have a front spoiler to paint too.

The long term plan will include a full respay and see what I can do with the inside too....

Ok, over the last few nights, I painted the boot spoiler and even though I used the proper paint from VX, it's practically yellow next to the paint on the car!!!!????
I didn't think White paint discoloured??? I know it goes powdery.....

Looks very tidy  :y
The pic's hide a lot of problems, it needs a lot of work and most of it I can't do....
I'm hoping to get a full paint job....
Thanks btw... :-)

HockeyDave55

Well...
I finally got to put paint on the front and rear spoilers and I learnt the White is not "White"!!! I got some with the correct code and when I put it on the car, it looked yellow!!! FFS!!!
Then I got some mixed and it's spot on!!!! :-)

Next will be side skirts but for now, I'm happy!
As ever, your thoughts are welcome....
