I've not really done much to the car recently mainly due to the poor weather and doing loads of overtime
I've got a nice little list of jobs building which I'll hopfully be ale to make a start on soon;
1) engine service
2) gearbox spline mod
3) check front and rear brake pads
4) respray the Brembo's
5) repaint the rear callipers
6) paint front and rear hubs
7) Decide what I'm going to do with the paint work on the car
With regard to the paint work as I've mentioned before the bonnet lacquer is very badly scratched/cracked this was we think due to a poor quality lacquer being used a few years ago when I had some repair work done, also I've got a bit of lacquer peel on the front and rear bumpers. Because it's a metallic I know it will be a pig to match it and being a obsessed with how the car looks I'd want the whole thing reprayed which will cost around £1500 so I did a bit of playing around with a few ideas I had for another option.
Good old Forza
I've done a few different designs but this is my favourite, the bonnet, roof and spoiler will be wrapped in a metallic gloss anthracite vinyl, the AmD twill be the same silver as the car's paint, I've decided not to get the bottom half of the car wrapped mainly due to the cost of it, the bonnet, roof, spoiler and lettering will cost around £260, I will still need to do something with the bumpers but they are not that noticeable.
Not the best picture but this is the colour I've chosen
It's pretty close to the colour of my wheels so it will tie everything in, also the AmD lettering on the doors will be the same colour.
I'm still undecided whether to go down this route but it's maybe the most cost effective option at the moment, I could run this for a year then save the money for the respray for next year,
