Now that i'm getting old and sensible I decided to change the look of my car from this:



To this:



Might go for black door mirrors next, hope you like

 

Nicely done! Did you have to respray or did the decals come off without residue or trouble?

 

Decals came off with a hairdryer and what little residue that remained came off with a clay bar. Took an hour or so for the whole job then a quick polish and job done!

 

I really like the contrast of the grey and red! One of my favorites! I don't think the black wheels go well with the grey. Silver would look better.

 

Very nice...much better!
Subtle, sharp and bitchin'!

 

So much better this way ... I typically hate any type of graphics or garish wheels on these cars .. too reminisent of a 1978 Trans Am .... great looking car .. enjoy

 

Much classier!

 

I like it both ways, but probably a little more with the color because of the individualized look. However, I realize the color/graphics could be interpreted as either a "LOOK AT ME - I NEED ATTENTION!" or, as I see it, "This is my car and I want it to be personalized/different from the rest."

On the other hand, a more standard look could also be interpreted two ways. Either, "classy" as someone pointed out or "I'm conservative and have a need to fit in."

I'm not saying that any of the above applies to you, only pointing out that no matter what you do, someone can have either a positive or negative opinion of it. As an analogy, right now a guy just came by my desk wearing a BRIGHT GREEN shirt and BRIGHT GREEN and black horizontal striped socks. I'm working at an energy company so this is absolutely not the norm. Do I like it? Not really, but I give him credit for wearing whatever the hell he wants.

To each their own.

 

love the new look! looks like my car!

 

Like the color

 

Thanks for the comments. I purchased the car with the red decals and wheels because of the spec (carbon pack etc) and mainly, the price!! I was never a lover of the red because it did draw a lot of attention, and not always positive which is fair enough as it's not to everyones taste! I decided to go "stealth" for a complete change and maybe it will be easier to sell on in the future

 

Very nicely done

 

Car looks awesome now! What lowering spring are you on?

 

Very nice!

Get a set of wheel spacers to fill those arcs. Maybe 7mm front, and 15mm rear.

 

Thanks! Its running on Eibachs, lowered about 25mm, still a comfortable enough ride too
