What did you do on your car today?

[Mystique]

Sprayed my fuse box cover metallic purple... although it turned out Plum purple! Hoping a few more coats fix it!

For the pics check out my Progress thread

Well... I did it...

Took off the chrome surround - back to black - not sure if I like it...






Definitely need to get silver-on-black number plates...

Why no more shiny shiny?

Listened to feedback from my other thread - seems everyone prefers the blacked-out look...

What started it was that I got photos from Exclusive from the day I first got the vinyl done and kinda like the plain look; the chore was a bit 'showy', but I've got like, 15m of the stuff, so I can soon re-do it...

I'm gonna look at getting the side window trims done in chrome and then see at refitting the front...

Too many decisions!

yes, window chrome might suit your car because it's blue, not sure I have seen it on any cars yet. I think the blacked out look suits white cars best as you get that contrast, have you thought about doing what Kirt did with your grill? It might contrast well

what about the chrome window trims that sit at the edge of the windows like RA's have

You mean that mad pearlescent red treatment? - looks brilliant, but don't have the ring around my grille like the RAs, just the two-part grille (like the LX, but thankfully without the chrome - that would be hard to work with I reckon...).

I'm thinking I might blackout the bottom-centre of the front bar... (a bit like TrojanHorse's EvoX if I can work out some kind of splitter)

I got a pair of T10 SMDs from an ebay seller. My LHS one started to flicker. Today I bought a brand new pair of T10 LEDs and my god, they're fantastic. Very happy.

Just waiting on my Mars Performance projector headlights.

Have you got a link to the ones you bought Tomo?
