like the nurburgring sticker on the back. i think interesting is the best word to describe that.

you watch mighty car mods with the decorative front like that?

CianRyan · 20-04-2013 05:25PM

Still looks mental but I totally appreciate it.

A real set of wheels and you'd be flying.
I'll sell ya two for €30. :P

That sticker on the back is the exact thing I said to a guard recently:D
he asked had I been drinking and I said "I am not drunk, I was avoiding the potholes" I didn't know they had stickers saying it

@jordan5372 - hey, how did you get the arches etc back to that colour?

Jordan5372 · 20-04-2013 06:07PM

i spray painted them with gloss black.

Here is some more pics of the process and the car. next plan, to get some alloys

mine were near white too, take a look at the pic below of what they were like. Gives you some idea of what can be done.

SJPK · 20-04-2013 06:46PM

might sound stupid but... what 'sort' of gloss black did you use? like can? name of company? and did you do any prep or just clean and spray on?

Jordan5372 · 20-04-2013 06:57PM

this is the can i used

http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/m8grOQgqIoQjyMjFT4Fb_Kw.jpg

i sanded the area down with sandpaper, then i sprayed on primer.

Then the spray paint.

And it didn't even do that good a job of hiding the dirt!

CianRyan · 20-04-2013 07:37PM

Ah I dunno about that, wouldn't it be vertical then? :P Plan to remove them when I get bored of them anyway!

It'd look way better without them. Never knew about that spec.

The HB Ice Cream wrappers and bits of newspapers stuck to your front bumper. What's that all about?

Neither have I! It looks like a Zetec S to me with the rear bumper the way it is.

At an empty yard at an Airfield, using my proper camera for a change too.
*EDIT: For MCMLXXV, its tarmac, ok so not a "field" but a small airport, Weston Airport in Leixlip
