didn't vac bag this, but i have one at work, issue is the resin top coat in the vac bag. wouldn't work.

getting the resin on evenly is a pig, and then when you wet and dry back, not going through to the CF is a nightmare,

cheers for the tips, but i don't think i'd do it again

Admiral are the ones that a lot of younger people go with

i still think stinger missiles in the front grille should be standard Zed equipment

well i came back out and the things were hard as stone, i couldn't even push a thumb print into them so it must react differently to spraying on paint. so i thought what the hell lets fit these babies back on. so the finished acticles, they are by no means perfect, and as i made them i know where the flaws are, but they look a damn sight better than before. the sides have probably come out the best, and possibly the easier to do , if i did it again i know how id do it, i wouldn't try and adhere underneath and just trim it when it had dried. its wrapped round quite well, and the overall look isn't bad. there are some gaps as the cover meets the original trim, and that was due to the laying, i couldn't get it into the lip and stay there while i taped the rest down. if i did it again, i'd only CF down to the lip and then cut off the excess once it had dried with a knife. But considering this is the closest people are likely to get, its not too bad apologies to those purists, but i couldn't resisit sticking the nismo logo on the sides

bloody hell thats good going, i'll get in contact with him shortly, did you go visit him or did you speak to him over the phone?

Cheers Bud The badges came off pretty easily with a hair dryer. It was the glue that was a B*tch, especially the sides don't worry mate i feel your pain

they look great mate, good work and well done. how easy did you find removing the old badges?

have fitted the rear strut which is fine, but i'm using the laquer technique on the sides, one thing i was wondering is how long to leave the laquer to dry before fitting. each coat is touch dry within 15 mine, but i'm leaving 35 min between coats, it says not to go over it with any rubbing compounds for at least 2 weeks, but says nothing about overall drying time. my guess is to leave fitting till tomorrow for them, any one got any ideas?

damn you, damn you and your confusion techniques

i'm a jedi monk, can you tell me

i'm going to go for the standard nuts like yours but in red, since you said they come with a lock nut and socket attatchment.

cheers pimm, they look good

hope you both get things sorted

good work mate, top job

looks good, whats the damage for one of these then?

mine arrived today thanks again

You didn't write the zed off did you?

i'm going to be first for once

i think your just putting on weight so she doesn't feel so bad. "honest dear, you don't look fat, see we're still the same size, now where did i put that tub of cookie dough and spoon"
