thanks guys, yea we are dying to get it on the road ;)

when to the paint shop today and picked up some metallic silver and 2k pink
so we got to work on the beaks bar and the lca's

gave them a rub down with a medium felt pad

Image



masked up the poly bushes and gave it a metallic silver base coat

Image


and then on with pink

Image

we left the gold on with the beaks bar to see what the effect would be and its a slightly different shade.. but its nice

Image

we also left the black sticker on... and after it was painted we peeled it off

Image

Image

and the finished lca's


Image




We also found a nice wee tail pipe in the scrappy and thought it would go well with the VTI-S lip..

Image

Image

Image


and it does :D
