Yea that's it.

 

[Dougyledds]

there Mad! hahaha

Ive got some minilites waiting to go Satin black, maybe i could just paint it and see what happens

done a quick mock up...I like it Dougy

...and as Enuo said...get some of that vinyl wrap stuff and when you change your mind...again.... It'll come off

Thanks Jen!

Im quite liking that tbh maybe if i did it all satin it would go quite well, do you recon just a black strip or a stencil of some sort to make it stand out

OH MY GOD! You need this car in your life Doug!!!!

 

[jk9194]

Japanese panda style. I am sure that Japanese people would love this car.

 

[Dougyledds]

Think the wheels are a bit to extreme lol

Don't be daft, i'd consider them a bare minimum. Don't be a sissy!

Ive only ever seen the teddys for sale!

you'll have to spray them to look like pandas, but its doable and will look epic.

How about painting a car like Converse sneakers? Laces on the bonnet etc.

 

[Guy]

I collect Victorinox penknives. One of their limited edition small penknives looks like a sneaker - pretty cool :

You must be joking? lol

 

[Japi]

Yeh but just a bit . I might do it. I'm somehow attracted to these clothing-themes...my micra looks kinda shirt.
...and those sneakers are cool imo

 

[markbognor]

A bit of a hack job, but you get the idea!

Instant win

 

[solarice]

Some sand paper and a bit of masking tape and you'll have that sprayed up in no time

Yayer! just need to make a stencil or something for the letters

 

[euro_micra]

Damn Mark, that's pretty similar to my 'shop I did today.

You know what to do dougy

At a guess what size wheels would they be?

I know there shopped but they look like a 14 with nice meaty wide tyres

It'd be a crime if you didn't do this. You know what the right choice is

 

[Enuo]

I prefer the style of marks but the what goose has written on the side

ive got some 13x7 minilites going on mate, there probably a bit to much poke but i aint scared i get some arches but not exactly overfenders as such.. gonna go for some mk3 golf ones cut to side then proceed with the 2 tone idea etc

 

[Dougyledds]

Youve got it spot on here mate, il just be running my minilites with some subtle arches.. really need to get in contact with Collision tho so i can pick up the sr bumpers unless there gone, realy need to do that with my lights tho.

I like the text on this bit il just be using Marks idea with the minilites etc thanks!

 

[Harlen]

This needs to happen Doug I'm getting all giddy looking at these mockups

Il need money for paint first lol realistically it might not for a while buts defo going to

 

[Enuo]

Get a vinyl made, it'll be cheaper (little-no body prep), faster and reversible should you wish to alter the car.

Maybe even plasti-dip could be feasible if you're not bothered about it being matte

Suppose, but then il need to paint the bumpers to match!

Pricey tho mate aint it!

 

[Harlen]

Pricey tho mate aint it!

No more than regular rattle cans and you don't need to prep

Would be better to wait and get the dosh together and do it right though! might be worth getting in contact with Kev and seeing if he can hook you up with those side stickers!

Il probs just stencil it tbf mate! but yea maybe

 

[johnbr6]

I would vinyl the sides bro, I wouldn't re-spray TBH

Il look into it jono!

 

[johnbr6]

just saves the hassle Doug, no prepping and like someone has posted, it is reversable. and you get a proper matty finish with no blemishes anywhere

Aye good idea actually...you might get it pretty cheap if you can find offcuts from a vinyl wrap place.

 

[Dougyledds]

Decided to make a wish list:

• Need my 13x7 minilites painting/tyres/spigot rings/wobble nuts
• Possible Gloss/Satin Vinyl or Satin paint for my side graphicx
• New backbox/421 mani
• Polo coils (especially for the rear, but if i had the set id just end up selling my current corsa setup
• Paint the inside of my lights, get some orange Laminex for the repeater part
• Flocked dash/Clean new rear seat bench
• Super s bumpers
• Paint bumpers Satin/Gloss black
• Yellow Laminex for super s fogs is i was to get hold of some
• some subtle arches from a Mk3 golf but not overfenders
• Ultimatly id love a Cg13 turbo/SR20 but thats far far away yet
• Deep dish steering wheel and boss to match
• Super s dials/Do some more interior decorating
• Super s electric windows
• A good general tidy up when everything is pieced together
• Possible Short shifter other little bits such as silverteck repeaters

If there is a way of having the white panda vinyl at a jaunty angle on the driverside corner of your front bumper that could look good

Im feeling that mate!

Anyone else got ideas??

 

[Dougyledds]

Would one of these go well? Spose they have that jdm feel!

Hmmm

 

[Enuo]

maybe at top of rear window...? I dunno, think would look better on a boxier car like a k10

 

[Enuo]

Hey doug, the 86 trueno levin you're basing your car off is from an anime series called 'Initial D'. Just been rewatching it and just remembered/seen again that in the early episodes they refer to it as 'The panda Eight-Six'
