Done some more work to the bonnet today:
Flattened the top to try get rid of the lip the stripes left

Scotched the underside and gave that a lick of paint

Fitted to the car,aswell as my new Vented Headlight Cover

And painted (painted very bad i must add,but nevermind mind....Function>Form)

The joy of rollered/matt oil based paint is that it looks awesome regardless of how it's applied

Nice modified Eunos/Sergeant's badge

If you can be arsed, I wasn't when I painted my M3 with a roller, you could use some wet and dry paper to 'equalise' the finish, but in my opinion the rough and tough finish is part of the fun (as was painting the car in an hour and a half tops

)

I now take it back i dont prefer it white. I`m finding the matt look with the sharks teeth a real grower. Love the stance too.....proper `ard!:thumbs:

Well done Chris. That is a good quality brace off the special edition cars.
