Pics were taken leaving Inters 09 at Bruntingthorpe. Saw the plane hangar and looked like a good place for pics, sun was shining too. :D

I've got alot of time for this. Im in the process of doing this to mine too. Nice to see how it may look, gutted you got there before me!

If you dont mind me asking, how much was it to get your roof done? Is it painted or wrapped?

The roof and spoiler are painted, I have seen some wrapped and thats ok but I think the paint looks better. Mines mettalic too :) Cost varies I guess but I got mine done for £175 for roof and wing.
This was while I was having the bonnet and bumper resprayed (had some awful chips etc).

Love your track day pics by the way.

Thanks mate, Yeah i would prefer to go for painted to be honest as i dont think i would be taking it off, even if i was selling it. My Wheels are still in desperate need of a reburb, just cant decide what colour yet though. Im liking your colour, i personally wouldn't go any darker than that, i dont think it looks right against the platinum. I think i may have to go with the anthracite due to the roof, mirrors etc.

Have yo got any other plans for yours?

cheers for comments :)

yeah i like the anthracite on the wheels. I've seen some black ones though on the platinum LCR and they do look good. One thing for sure is whether you go black or anthracite, you gotta keep em clean. When they get just a tad dusty, or grubby they look dire.

As for other plans, maybe FMIC but not in a rush to sort. Maybe next year.

That looks awesome!! I've just got something for platinum LCRs... Really nice colour and the anthracite alloys top it off nicely.

I'll be getting a LCR shortly and these pics just increase the urge!!

Used the Birmingham branch on sameday service.
Dropped car in at about 8.30am and collected it about 4.30pm. Job done :D
Its a full wheel job, they take the tyres off etc and refurb and paint the entire rim.

Hardest thing is picking the colour, they have a good selection. The finish is very glossy which I like. Had them done more than a year ago and the finish is exactly like the day I got them done.

Cheers for the comments.
