Gonna start off the some interior parts painting. Going for Daytona orange and then the same colour for the alloys and wing mirrors.

u found a nice one dere, fair minter, do the bumpers come fully color coded on a si?
interior plans sound nice, im not fond of different color mirrors though

Thanks mate. I think the bumpers do come colour coded on a si. I will paint the alloys and have a think about the mirrors after.

Had a second thought about the colour of wheels and interior. Not sure to spray it orange or blue. What do you lot think.

I think you should keep it stock grey from factory

I was only thinking of painting the speedo surround and all the removable parts down the middle.

 

[rockstar]

Shortened the gear stick a couple of inches today. Feels loads better to drive.

 

[rockstar]

Anyone know where I can get a cheap direct fit backbox. Louder the better

 

[prefaceliftlife]

shortened gearstick is nice, might want a new gaiter
wud u not go for a janspeed or peter lloyd system

 

[rockstar]

[rockstar]

[prefaceliftlife]

[rockstar]

Not happy with the Finnish. Gonna do it again but with Matt orange.

 

[markbognor]

You quite clearly require one of these.

Yeah defo. Along with some orange seat covers. My car will get tangoed.

 

[rockstar]

Next on the shopping list

 

[rockstar]

gonna spray the center console again as im not happy with the gloss finnish. should i go for orange again or go with blue. i need some help deciding

 

[hoopdub]

brave colour did you use plastic primer before you painted them? i highly recomend it, stops it all flaking off a few months down the line

had enough of the orange paint. gonna go for white and gonna paint the alloys white too

 

[rockstar]

Tried the white paint but it didn't turn out that good.
Trying a new idea with comics. Just gonna glue them on then clear coat it

 

[rockstar]

Lol. Couple of months worth of papers. Gonna do the door trims after dash trim is done.

 

[rockstar]

all done now. just need some clear coat.

 

[markbognor]

Cool, I rather like a bit of Decoupage. I have a stack of 90's NME's that are going to get used for something one day. I had a few Initial D's bought for the purpose too, but ended up selling them on.

 

[rockstar]

glad you like it. took ages todo and gave me massive hand cramps but it was worth it. initial d comics would look pretty cool on it. shame you sold them on

 

[sterry9454]

i have a few exhausts for sale pm me if your interested

 

[rockstar]

found out the hard way that clear coat will wreck it. makes the paper transparent. luckily it was only on a small part i tried it on. done some research and you have to use stuff called mod podge. will get some this weekend.

 

[rockstar]

thinking about making a H gate for the gear stick. has anyone else done this. i need to find a tamplate

 

[rockstar]

All done. Mod podge is amazing stuff

 

[EnterScott]

[rockstar]

Made a phone holder out of old parts

Will be fixing it in here. Got a hole cut out the back to fit the iPhone lead through

[rockstar]

All fitted.

[prefaceliftlife]

[rockstar]

[rockstar]

almost finished the speedo surround. just one more copy of the daily mail and its done. not sure on what to start on next
