Need a new bracket to fit the face lift front bumper, the roof is going gloss black and the tailgate needs doing. Oh and wheels need work along with a small suspension height adjust. Happy days!

Glad you're getting there Adam. Pm'd Mikey about rub strips but he still wants them. You should have taken them with the bumper.  Sorry.

Dave, its entirely my fault - don't worry about it! Thanks for asking mikey anyway. I can get more of them

[adam b]

Right then. The base wrap is finished and its waiting for me to get my arse into gear and sign it with the company details. Will be picking up the new bumper parts on thursday so its still got a navy blue front end until then









The grey and matt black are Hexis wrapping vinyls, the gloss black roof just a normal cheapy Oracal vinyl. Really loved the way the Hexis stuff went on - very easy to use!
I have put a few more joins in than I would on a customer car, but it is simply to save money and i'd say 95% of people will completely miss them anyway.
The facelift R front end is also wrapped ready to go on. Just got to do something with the wheels now. They don't look wrong, just could do with being a bit bigger, black and called TD pro race 1.2....

Wow that looks stunning. Just wanted to know how will it stand up to the weather. How much would it cost to do. I can't wait to see it in the flesh, Dave.

I can see the boot is wrapped in matt black.  Has the rest of the car been done?

How much would it cost to wrap the 855 in custard yellow?  

[adam b]

Yes the entire thing is wrapped - there isn't a sheer finish standard paint. Rear was done as an experiment in contrast. Will look better when its finished.

Main thing is finding the right colour. Will look tomorrow

[adam b]

Dave - its designed to last and be easily removed after 8 years.

[DTP]

Interesting. No more polishing. Some protection against scratches. Then remove it and it's as good as new. Let me know when it's finished and I will pop down to have a closer look.

It doesn't show how damp it really was, but there we go. And it'll look a load nicer when certain people manage to send me a grille..

[Redbrick]

Looks fantastic IMHO.

Was that yesterday?  

Could not be wetter than our last T5D5 Combe track day!  Noah lapped me in his ark.

The Corrado giving it opposite lock in the first pic gives a clue

Sweeeeet!

This was a plodder in white if I remember you correctly?  Nice job.

[adam b]

Nope, shed in a few varieties of dark blue...

Yep thats the badger. Had a replacement subframe to sort that little issue out. Reduced my negative camber by 2.2 degrees hehe...
