Stutopia Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Ooooh I do like the moody, desaturated vibe of your pics. Really works with the GM. Feels like it should have a soundtrack of Vienna by Ultravox. Nice work. 1 Quote
oldbonesmcgee Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Once I've done a few more mods I'm going to try doing a video edit thingy...I'll put that at the top of the song selection list haha Quote
PS13Silvia Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 So that's what my car could look like in photo's if I knew how to use a camera! Only messing, it looks spot on there buddy, but I'm running the same set up so would say that What 20" wheels you looking at? Quote

oldbonesmcgee Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Canon 550d, those ones were just taken with the kit lens and a rubber lens hood. 1 Quote

oldbonesmcgee Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 I accidentally posted it in 350 instead of 370, so on this occasion you are forgiven haha Well hopefully the second ones are what will be going on. 1 Quote

oldbonesmcgee Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks for all the comments guys. The roof is going gloss black on Wednesday, the fangs are going matte black. I should have a Fujimura "style" rear diffuser on in the next week or 2 and eventually a sunline splitter (and rear spats) and Tarmac side step skirts. As for the wheels I'm still undecided as I really like the standard wheels....I can't bear to part with them just to gain an extra inch :'( Cheers, Dan Quote
oldbonesmcgee Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 Quick pic of the DIY matte black fangs before I took it off because the tight corners started peeling up. 1 Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Quick pic of the DIY matte black fangs before I took it off because the tight corners started peeling up. I tried my fangs twice, same thing, Looked great though Quote
flyboy Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) +1 on the peel. My dipped ones lasted a week and the rear 2 weeks. Were yours wrapped or dipped? as i'm trying wrapping next. Edited April 28, 2014 by flyboy Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Mine were dipped, the corners at the bottom of the mouth lifted, I think the hot air contracted the dip and made it lift Was thinking of staying mine satin Quote
Richie-B Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Car looked great the other day mate. The stance is just right imo Quote
oldbonesmcgee Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 Car looked great the other day mate. The stance is just right imo Cheers! I really like the look too, not too low And the car is at Customised Coatings at the moment getting done professionally, he said the only way to do it is to have an under layer around the deep part, but I think the issue is that the grill doesn't separate from the bumper, so you can't wrap the wrap round the edge to keep it nice and tight, but I guess we'll see.

flyboy Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I was advised today to paint mine as it wasn't suitable for a guaranteed successful wrap, this from a highly rep company who lost business by telling me this as they don't paint! Quote
oldbonesmcgee Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 Yeah, it's not possible with one single piece of wrap. I haven't looked at it really closely yet but from what he said you can only get 150% stretch on wrap, so I think he said there is actually 3 separate pieces of wrap on it. two (or maybe 3) bits that do the deep inset bits, and then a 3rd (or 4th) piece that goes over the front. It's not ideal and I guess a lot of bigger companies might just say no but I don't want to commit to paint just yet. Time will tell! Cheers Dan Quote
Cake Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 I had mine wrapped and was done in 3 pieces - two fangs and bottom half. Didn't even last the drive home and I then patched where lifted on the inner fang join. This lasted about 6 months until I just removed it as it wasn't perfect. US kits also come like this, but hey don't seem to be having the same issues as us here. A few have wrapped in the UK and been okay but most don't attempt it. A place near me said they can do it but quite pricey compared to others. Quote
