Ok,
I have just ordered a few parts in the last month so I thought I would create a build thread.

Sorry most of the pics are of boxes but I promise I will get some pictures of it on the car

Thanks for reading..

Base car (pre-mods)

Sorry I had to

(works well with canyon red)

I have also got a set of Pressed plates with dubmeister surrounds.

Photos coming soon

Bbs rs or similar looking wheels, coilovers, leather coming not so soon

Cheers guys

Chris

Becomming fairly common that red now isn't it

My Indigo Blue seems rarer

Yeah but theres only one with perfect wheels (in my opinion) and thats 3LL1077's.

The tints look really nice I will get some pics up soon.
Yeah my sig is a photoshop but its what I am basing my car on. I am a part time graphic designer and I airbrush cars a lot.

Cheers guys

Thanks for that Chris

I'd love some tips on air brushing, its one thing ive never really tried on photoshop, its a bit daunting to me!

Give me a pm

Did you do the tints yourself mate? I tried mine with a mate and we failed miserably!

^ ha ha lol

Yeah I got through 3 attempts before I was happy with it. My only tip is to get most of water out straight away and then "squegee" GENTLY the bubbles towards the edge. Yeah I got it looking proffesional but it takes time and practise I guess.

To 3LL1077, PM soon
