Nice starter, for idea's I reckon clear indicators all round, 16v/mk5 rear lights, some other alloys (although i'm not keen on those, others may think different), colour code handles and slam it :lol:

Nobody likes red drums of power, black FTW. Also hides the rusty drums and makes it less obvious.

I wouldn't even go into the hassle of cans, just scuff up with some light wet and dry, mask off the surrounding area and then take some black hammerite smooth on it :wink:

Paint 'em. Get better coverage & thicker coat, plus you're not going to get close enough to see the brush strokes (if any!) so why spray & have to mask a bigger area! :lol:

hydraulics then :twisted:

i got my drums painted gloss black and standing up u cant see the brush strokes as there arnt really any. it kinda smooths itself outand can get a even coat with painting which means u cant see the dings and stuff from removing the rust.

wat about painting the b pillars (the vertical bits inbetween the front and rear window) and black wing mirrors..... can do both urself. mirrors are better if u take them of the car and b pillars, make sure u cover the rest of the car up.
