That's had a bloody hard 4 months....

Looks awesome r-bird, I love mk4s on ch rims

Dreadful picture but orange front units installed, really like them on, look better then expected! A quick picture whilst the rain held off for 5 minutes!

Come to my house Matt, and make love to me in mien mouth

Better pictures, needed a smaller air brush in reality for the rivets and lining but this'll do for a race shell...

Airbrushed my first shell today, it's so difficult to work backwards on the colours Fairly pleased for attempt one thou.

Do those work on the same idea as a helicoil? Just a beefier version..

I hope with the artist birdie next to it

Orange five 27.5" tank. My mates really enjoying his nukeproof meta, another mates just bought a fairly well specced 27.5 trance that IMO rides like shite. I'd defiantly get to some demo days dude and get trying some stuff out. I can't praise my orange enough to be honest, over the past month I've really pushed myself and my riding (lost about 9lb in that time too!) and the five just keeps suprising me.

Got a few bumper scuffs/stone chips sorted.. Back on her shiny boots.. Cheeky bum shot.. R36 spoiler bonded on now too, hell on earth trying to sort a proper high level brake light for this thing, specially when the twonk at TPS is as helpful as a tea bag. Got my sport interior in too but I didn't grab any pictures bought some orange indicators for the front.

Well, after running the hyper7 and spending mad amounts of money on it it'll be up for sale soon, nitros just not for me. Still running my cougar svr and mi3.5 drifter but might flog the drifter and replace with a cougar k1 aero for some 4wd buggy action.

KOI KARP UP INT AIR LIKE! Ratatatat! TAKE THAT, you b*****d!

I'll read that, but first..

I do indeed, sat festering away in my garage!

What will you be using to paint? Carbons fairly deep in texture and either needs heavy coats or a lot of multiple coats to get a smooth finish. If aerosols you might be better of asking a bodyshop to lacquer them, it'll work out cheaper for you. I don't know 100% of a lacquer tat adheres to carbon thou.

Just started to repair some of the bumper scuffs on the passat, gone better then expected!

I went to a 'prestige' car show today as a perk through work, it was a public show but I got VIP banded and shit. Asked a guy on the inchcape merc stand who painted the side on a display brand new AMG E63, his reply was 'our in house bodyshop sir, why'd you ask?' I replied 'no reason' and walked off. He twigged what I was getting at and looked abit shitty lolol. It was horrendous, it was black pearl which did it no favours anyway then looked like the paint had been thrown at it, the colour blend was terrible and the lacquer work was appalling. I was gobsmacked for a 100k car or whatever it was, be the last thing I bought at that show! Although a F40 fezza pulled in the show which got my attention! I got tonnes of pictures I'll upload soon.

Whatever happened to Oli's mini Nick?

R36 boot spoiler is on, looks great I recon, nice and subtle but sticks out enough. Going to the paint shop in a week to have a few scabs sorted and then I can put her pretty boots back on too! Spent all week hoovering the carpet and stripping the old interior ready for the new seats, tomorrows job is to wet vac the seats and carpet ready for fitting, looking foward to getting it looking good again!

I missed that quest thing, but stuff on there is repeated non stop. Enjoyed that for the love of cars but still don't know why they kept the dunlops! A set of cooper steelies would've looked great.

The only thing I'd recognize that bike for is the blue levers.

Took the rear bench out the passat and found 27 quid! Aswell as a sweet selection of MacDonalds monopoly tokens!

I stopped for a drink at sherwood pines the other week and some kid went 'oh my god my bike!' Whilst pointing at my orange, I told him to do one, he instantly walked off and shouted the same at another guy. I too wondered of his success rate.

New bike too Matt, suuuuucks. Jardo, did the read any of your posts on tf to inform their decision?
