matts xsi euro project

[Matt]

Already had h4s on lol. What's the part number for the v8s?

[Matt]

Bastards. Had the paint done for a bloody week and I come out to this :/



So repainted again. Good thing about painting with a roller. If something like this happens, takes two mins to paint lol.

Right letting the paint harden over the weekend. Will be attacking it with some 800/1000 gritt on wednesday to remove the texture and have a nice smooth finish.



Oh and plasma dials yo!

[4WayDiablo]

yours done the same? the trip lcd not working after the plasma went in?

[Connor]

Already had h4s on lol. What's the part number for the v8s?

Same as the H4 but V8 lol

[Connor]

6438v8

[Matt]

Nah phill mine didn't work anyway, bulb just flickers. Need to fit the new one already lol.

And cheers Connor. I have one of the v8s. And another on its way



Also managed to salvage and few rubber bits off my old door, which I managed to paint over on the car haha. Saves going to scrappy

[Matt]

Started sanding by hand yesterday, it's going to a right bitch of a job, might just leave it haha.

Going to start painting my wheels this week doing it one at a time, so off I go to pick up a steely lol

Nope it's an automatic pop out one from the rear of a newish vectra. Made it myself, didn't turn out to bad.

And regards to the dash I'm not sure what couloir at the moment. It's already white, but I'm spraying towards purple

[Fozzy]

Oh i hope you mean just painting the trim bits?

If you want to paint the entire dash ide suggest just get it flocked.

[Matt]

Haha no guys I actually mean the dash fascia the bit with heater controlls etc lol I wouldnt dare paint the actual dash. I would get it flocked as said.


I want to do it purple buy its already white haha. Would save me epic amounts of time. May leave it till after my wheels are done, if I have time I'll do it purple, if not I'll stick it in white

Photo bucket was bein a bitch last night so no photos ATM.

Although now have 25mm spacers on the rear

[devils_fuel]

Looking schexy matty

[kentiiboii]

I coloured coded my dash moonstone. And as moonstone looks silver anyway it doesn't look bad. I was expecting it to turn out chavvy.

[Ben]

What spacers did you used to have on the rear?

[Matt]

Used to have just 20mm but there was still abit of gap between wheel and arch, now with the 25mm on its near on on the arch

[mark_airey]

[Matt]
