Now my car is finally coming together i want to tidy a few things up for a year or so until i treat the bodywork to a full respray, maybe even a colur change.

I dropped my bonnet when removing it damaging 1 edge. Partly due to me being a clumsy oaf and the fact that the hinges sheared. I also have some minor damage to a couple of my SP12's.

So i am thinking of giving the car a different/meaner look for a while.
Maybe to vinyl wrap the bonnet... carbon fibre, matt or satin black.
Repaint the wheels, black, anthracite.
Replace the side repeaters and indicators with smoked?

Thoughts and ideas please as i am quite colour blind!

The bonnet would look good wrapped in carbon fiber with your white stipe and ther is a chat at Thursdy out side Carlisle that refurbs wheels, i would have thought gun metal grey would look good.
Nice pic Derek

Why not copy the design of the vehicle behind your car in the pic?

I think that looks great as it is...Carbon fibre and anthracite can look a little boy-racer imho...Spend it on bhp!

I think if you could make that Vulcan bomber look like that awesome piece of engineering that would be just brilliant... (or did I get that the wrong way round??)

XH558 - does it fly again this summer ? It's a must see if it does.... Almost as noisy too!

Not sure if they managed to get the funds for this year. Last time I read about it they were quite a few £££ short.
