Ummm very nice, looks very good I must say...

Did the cat scratch the paint or damage it?

Ok so now its down to the last bit. The paint has been flattend and is ready for pollish. I will post some pics of it tonight.

I found some wheels but don't like them that much. A contact found me a new set of TSW Heat wheels and he slapped some Bridgestone tires on for me and a set of spare drifting nangkangs both 215/40/17.

I paid R5000 for a set of 4 brand new rims and 4 tires and then got 4 used tires with. That means 8 tires!!! And a set of lock nuts!!!! I love people who know people!!!!

Here is the end product of not having your car for a week and a half!

looking good there Hanco...

It's all about the finishing touches though, so here's a tip or 3...
1. Invest in a rattle-can of gloss black and touch up the window beading after masking up the window and bodywork.
2. Clean off the exhaust in the meantime until you replace it with one those fancy japstyle thingie-majiggie-mabobby's.
3. Use an old toothbrush to clean all the grooves where theres polish residue around the lights and stuff to get the Brill burnishing cream out.

Well done lad!!!
b.t.w... Why not remove the antenae as well? Would really make the flush job complete...

... also, seeing that your car is royal blue and you've basically flushed the back end off, you should change your name on the forum to ROYAL FLUSH!!! Just for you VC... When we playing polka again????

How ironic...everything you mentioned now is what I have to do tomorrow!
I got the car At 6 and could not wait to take some pics so I didnt bother about those little thangs!

The exhaust is so rusted dude! If I clean it its gonna break off! ha ha

As for the name thing...rather not....reminds me too much of something else you flush...and I dont want to take my car there!

The antenae is a problem tho coz I dont want one on the roof. and the in window ones are so damn expensive!!! Maybe just remove it completely and let my GF sing for me!

yeah - i've always been one to encourage guys to get rid of that stoopid stock wing!!!

and this is exactly why.

looks awesome man. but that sucky aerial has to go. are the in-window ones really that expensive??? cos i need to go buy an one soon. i'm really getting bored with all my music! and no radio sucks.

anyway - last thing is that ride height hey? you gotto sort that out too man! go low - you can drop it at least another 80mm.

Thats soooooOOOOO funny, my mom saw the car and the first thing she said was the gap between the wheel and the body is to big. I have to make it smaller!
