Cal Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Well I decided I wanted my rims going a shadow chrome like the GTR wheels; So searched around the internet and got some decent expensive chrome paint to test on some interior parts. It's translucent and takes loads of coats to make full chrome - this is what a few coats on a gloss black base looks like - just what I wanted Passenger grab handle trim; SLR pic by my mate Adam on the Orme in Llandudno - part of the WRC Wales course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Been slowly but surely tarting up the engine bay after giving it a clean... I've added some red conduit, and painted the fluid caps. I'm going to finish the conduit (to the left of the engine) asap, I'm also going to paint the power steering fluid bracket and strut bar feet. Bought these; Fitted; Tarmac brace bought; Was filthy (before pic at the bottom) Tarmac brace fitted; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Bought the Bi-Xenon headlights fitted, they were so expensive... But look 10 times better than the painted pre facelift halogens I was having serious condensation issues with, they were worth the money just to not have goldfish bowl headlights I guess these two photos are Stage 2 - complete! Also bought LED facelift rear lights while I was at it! Edited December 23, 2014 by Cal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really fancy changing the colour of mine ! I'd like to know too please as your calipers look really good. Thanks boys! The product(s) you need are VHT Anodized Silver Base and VHT Anodized Color, American product, but can be found on eBay - as can the decals. http://www.ebay.co.u...ff14=108&ff19=0 http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4177049d24 Looks good mate. White is one of my favourite when I wanted to get a zed but I can't find one =( might get mine wrapped 1 day I wouldn't advise getting it wrapped personally mate, not an awesome finish - no depth, and isn't helping with rust on the arches (trapping moisture) can't wait for paint! It's my own fault for buying a wrapped car, ha! Great looking zed! Cheers buddy awesome zed...look forward to seeing stage 3 Thanks Bob, always loved yours as I'm sure you can tell by the direction of Stage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
