James's New Projects/Progress Thread (lots of pics)

[jamesy1990]

Thought id start my progress thread again and make a list of what ive done so far

Start with my car at standard (except the exhaust which was already on the car when i bought it)

First came some 133 stickers, blue LED pack and tax disc

police gave me into trouble for the blue LED side lights and 1s above back reg so they came off and decided to paint the calipers orange

few weeks after the calipers i bought 2 carbon renualt dimonds, got them glued on also bought robs towing eye

another few weeks went past then disaster as my mate crashed my car and bent bonnet and smashed my window

he replaced my window and bought me a new bonnet which i liked being black so thought id keep it that colour

i thought about it for a while and decided today that the bonnet needed some protection and since i loved my carbon badges id get the bonnet done in carbon 2 and while my m8 was wrapping the bonnet i got him 2 carbon wrap the silver bit behind the front reg to see what it looked like and i stuck my black 133.net and white 133 inside stickers on

and thats what i have done so far not 2 sure on the carbon reg bit but if decied i like it i will be buying new rs front and back badges with rs handbrake, rs gear knob, rs mats and spolier and new ariel as mines is still broken

Is that a bike exhaust on your rs

 

[jra3d]

As always mate love your car and the bonnet, the exhaust is actually growing on me haha

I wonder what a black bonnet would look like on a silverstone!

U should spray all ur anthracite bits black to match the bonnet!

 

[manofhow]

lookin good, adn like the subtle renault sports down the side. bonnet looks good, (something good to come out of something bad)

the only thing about spraying those bits black now is that people will saying u trying to make it look like silverstone.

[jamesy1990]

[Twingojoe]

How exactly did you wrap the number plate bit?

 

[jamesy1990]

my mate wrapped it for me and all he done was cut a bit 2 go around the reg then got me 2 hold the reg forward at the top and bottom of the reg while he placed some behind

 

[jamesy1990]

u could obv take the plate off but we went for the lazy option

I love how just a simple bit of vinyl on the front makes the car look so much tougher from the front

 

[scott133]

Looking really good mate

 

[jamesy1990]

[jra3d]

A couple of solutions-
One being go mad on the rear window as the white 133 is looking lost up there.
Remove the white window sticker as it's distracting but not enough to keep interest. Look at the picture and your eyes go all over the place randomly, hence feeling disjointed.
133 inside sticker on theR/H side bumper to balance out the flags

 

[jamesy1990]

some good tips man just 2 clear up do u mean take off the 133 inside sticker off the window then put a black 1 on the right hand side bumper?
