fishman Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I think it looks , very 'stealthy', well done for getting it all completed, i think it may look a bit better with some OEM skirts and spats tho IMO.......... Congrats on getting it done tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I love it, I think it looks brilliant. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 i like it Rik, fair play to you for having a go yourself too Strpped out with bucket seats and roll cage would look great to finsih off that raw look. I don't know what it is but the wheels seem to take away some of the look, are you going to be painting them at all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I like it, only thing spoiling it is the rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Looks great, I love this look, in fact my Corsa van was looking like multi colour swap shop with all different coloured panels and I did this:- http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q220/shaneg7ewl/Mar18_29.jpg It cost next to nothing to do, I used the cheapest of kit and the roughest of paint, but it transformed it from a rough looking old van with different coloured body panels to what you see. The gun I used was a cheap £15 job from Lidls. I took a while to get the viscosity right to suit the gun, but other than that it was a doddle.

toyotasuprauk Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I dont really like it without any shine but do think the stock wheels suit the body really well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I think it would look nicer with some better wheels, It looks nice in some parts and a bit patchy in others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 looks cool chap think some nice fat rubber and a bit lower will make it look very mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Just seen this, looks good mate, bet the pics don't do the colour justice. Think the people saying it would look even better with an oem kit are right though, maybe with a Greddy style lip on the front, and some wheels, colour coded CE28's would look cool.

Matt H Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 wow, i really really dont like matt paint, thats why they improved things and went metalic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I think I quite like it. But then in a few days I may not, but then a few days later I may again. It's definitely a marmite thing. Well done though, it looks like a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4RK RZ Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 It's just rude to say it looked 'awful' yes he did ask what we 'thinked' but it's nice to have a bit of tact. I agree - its not to my taste either but its a dam fine example of that type of colour finish so you can apreciate it + the work thats gone into it. tact is what you need - or just letting your brain think before you type.

Havard Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Not my cup of tea, sorry!! I have seen a couple of Bentley's with a matt paint job and I can't understand the attraction. Then again, you could always argue that my car is in undercoat!! H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thanks for all your mixed opinions. The satin black wasn't a big master plan, it was more of a last minute thing. Besides i'm not that fussed about flashy colours and all that, it all looks the same from the drivers seat. But anyway, i like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 As per our conversation mate, I think it looks the nuts! Well mean. I reckon a Blitz front (not normally keen on them) with some Rotas and perhaps Veilsides would add to its fooking menacing look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Forgot about this pic of the rear. Those LiquidArt badges were the first thing i bought for the car 2 years ago, and the last thing to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 One uk light on the back? I quite like it but reckon i'd like it more being kitted out. Better watch out for kids with chalk. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, don't worry, i've another set of j-specs to go on.

Ray Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Looks oki mate, but personally if you had some Deep dish satin black alloys with some skirts and a front lip and lowered. Hell yea! That would top it off... Since its stock it just dosent look as good as it should imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
