Project Silver, PIC HEAVY

Nice job on the door cards, they are simple, but very effective, look very clean, and with the blue door pulls and handle trim, looks really smart. Congrats on the weight too, you must have at least 130bhp now, so your looking at around 150bhp per tonne, but will go round corners like its on rails.

:thumbs:

 

[ScubaSteve]

yeah can easily take them off tbh

back to more pressing matters i had a go at wrapping part of the dials in cf

heres what they looked like before

after wrap

on car

may have a stab at the rear half of them at some point

 

[ScubaSteve]

had another go at these handles as they werent really up to my standards, changed the design of them slightly and made sure all edges were parallel with the outer partners

before

now

sorry it got dark, flash makes it look a bit shit

what you think, better, same, worse?

 

[Ginger Tom]

I like it, gives it a cleaner look IMO

 

[Williamsclio1]

Yeah much better mate

 

[ScubaSteve]

rear door cards done

 

[PumaJay]

if only mine looked as nice and neat inside as yours does!

 

[Xparty]

Love it mate!

 

[ScubaSteve]

thanks guys

 

[ScubaSteve]

update on cage should be here middle of next week at last

 

[Anonymous]

Looking good.... will look the great when you get the cage in!

 

[ScubaSteve]

hopefully, leaning towards getting the cage converted to bolt in, so i can remove and powdercoat rather then trying to spray it myself in the car

then the front inside needs a respray and getting proper footplates and then ready to go!

In other news changed the transmission oil on the swift as per service schedule, apparently quite vital after its first 27k as it can knacker the bearings due to all the bits from it being a new box

crap on the magnet

 

[ScubaSteve]

open for feedback on this, reason i did this was because wing mirrors have the paint rubbed away at the edges, otherside is worse

so wrapped them in CF to see what it looked like and to tidy that up

back on the car

what you reckon, do the otherside or not?

I'm quite partial to the carbon look, sets the mirrors off lovely.
But, on the flip side, it kinda looks odd as I'm used to seeing the mirrors colour coded to the car.... Hmmmmmm :roll:

Yeah, I like the CF!

The mirror looks good, how easy was it to get it to bend round the curves though.
I assume it was done with a hairdryer but must be tricky all the same ??

 

[Xparty]

Well mate, those mirrors looks great :thumbs: Still thinking about wrap my mirrors too :thumbs:

 

[ScubaSteve]

Yeah took a while with hairdryer not the easiest

done both sides now though

 

[quest63]

Easier than getting a squirrel into a matchbox ?
