Spoke to them this morning and they said they would coat the inner front arches with some sort of zinc paint?

I'm really enjoying it Ian, its a superb car..yes you don't get the kick in the back you do from a jap turbo such as 200sx or alike, but what you do get is one of the best all round sports cars for the money..its much more refined than anything Japanese :)
How about adding forced induction Rob. That should give it a kick!

That's fine mate. Essentially the zinc paint (or at least all of the ones that I know of) will be painted onto the bare steel. It can either be left as it is or overpainted, and if it does get exposed to the elements it will sacrifice itself instead of the allowing the steel underneath to suffer from corrosion.

That will involve too much money if I'm honest eddy, I'm pretty happy with its performance

I agree Rob. I drove a customer's stripped out one the other week and was pretty impressed.

Finish is superb, and now I have zero stone chips, dings, dents, scratches or rust....for the time being lol

Next on the list are replacement front tyres and wheel refurbishment

Looks gorgeous Rob, well done mate. Make sure you get some good quality wax and or sealant on there as soon as you can, if you haven't already. Poorboy's EX-P is particularly good on silver cars :)
