  1. it's shadow chrome, can be a c**t of a job, you have to rub the wheel down, paint it back (either solid or COB but it must be shinny) then apply the shadow chrome without rubbing the wheel this time
  2. those flared guards are massive, looks tough as, the SL65 was already awesome
  3. white 911 is my boss, has heaps of the old plates, one stage we had 4 million dollars worth in the shop window, 15 i think is still for sale for $750,000
  4. is the kit plastic or fibreglass? if it's plastic it's very somple, just give it a gray scotch, clean it with plastic cleaner then spray sp,e plastic primer then treat it like any outher color. If it's fibreglass i would bake (at about 40 anything else is to hot for fibreglass) it first because they seem to get massive pin holes in it, then prime it and bake it again, rub it bake and then treat it like any other panel. if it's fibreglass it may come already primed and if it does you can rub that and paint over it but at work we have found it's alot better to reprime it otherwise it tends to pin hole or leave bubbles which will just chip off
  5. looked at a r32 GTR from a dealer once, went with a mate who is a mechanic, the guy said we could it for a test drive. Before we did my mate poped the bonnet to check every thing 1st. all the pipes were just hanging on, the intercooler pipes were not connected just hanging near it not even touched the ends of the cooleer, Oil level was very low and the oil was dirty as f**k and finnaly it had no coolent. Was told all these things get fixed after i buy it so it can get a roady.
  6. it's not a AC Schnitzer car, his just got the bar on it, it's not a M6 so it's either a 640, 645 or 650, it's a individual color from BMW, did he still have the black wheels on it?
  7. the XC Cobra????
  8. +1 for a SLR5000, and those HQ Mazda Roadpacer things might have a rotary in them but they werent turboed so the power to weight is pretty bad, there was one for sale a few months ago
  9. if your to generous it will lead to solvant boil so dont go overbored
  10. orange with black bonnet and wheels would look horn
  11. if your going to clear it do it in two coats, the 1st coat should be very light so it's almost dry then let it tack off, then allpy the 2nd coat which should be wet
  12. as said before, plastic primer would be best then wax & grease remover (also known as prepsol) If the paint is metallic it WILL need a clear coat otherwise it will have a matt finish, If it's a solid black i would think the can of paint you have is a can of 2 pac paint which will leave it with a gloss finish but like all 2 pac paints will fade quite abit over time

    F1 2009

    got my normal grandstand ticket, 5th row right in front of the start line
  14. ok saying it like that i know what you mean it's normally called a flow coat, yes the clear will look better and deeper but i personally think P2000 is way to fine to clear over, think about it you buff over P2000 and i know of a few show cars that have done this and after a few years it's all flaking off, i would personally only reclear over P1200 or P800
  15. never heard of it, do you mean high solid?
  16. you forgot to mention the M1, besides the GTR it was really the only car worth looking at
  17. yer i just got home then, been there all day, it was still going strong, if i wasnt working 2morrow i would still be there with all my mates
  18. For the UK version there are a few stigs atm, Depending on the car. Some companys want there own driver to drive the cars and some dont care. 1st Stig Perry McCarthy former F1 test driver (one they shot of a ship) 2nd & current Stig Ben Collins has raced Indy, IRL F3 USA Stig Mario Andretti Heiki Kovalevien drove the F1 on the TG Track The Australian Stig is TURN AWAY NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.......... The Bates Brothers 1st it was though to be Russel Ingal but was later found out to be both the bothers
  19. they did, it was 2 people from the ARC
  20. dont wanna ruin it for people so a hint, think Australian Rally as for who the stig is thats old news, i still forget his name after a few minuts anyway
  21. Collision Craft is the name of the place in Dandy, it's 106 Cheltenham Road, there is no signs but its next to dandy exhasts. my mate got his done there and they look awesome, if people want i can post up pics of it
  22. $1800 is what i would consider cheap, a mate of mine just paid $1800 to paint his bonnet, front + rear bars and to blend into the front door and a full cut and polish. That was through another mate of mine who normally only does resto's so the quailty of the work in 2nd to none
  23. yer to paint it properly they would need to sand it all back, probably prime it so the paint already there doesnt play up when applying the new paint and then you would have to blend the guards so the colour is right
  24. a Holden W427 might apeal more to some people, Audi RS6??? why not the same question on ECCA.net? there heavily into there euro's which seem to be the cars your targeting
  25. in Melbourne try Seetle (spelling) they make spray booths and have a center in Bayswater where u can hire a booth
