Is that paint or a wrap? Does look good but would look better if the spotlights the rear foglight and real lights where done black aswell also masked headlights. Then in would be well stealthy

Thanks for all your comments.
Yeah, I intend to buy a sheet of that fly-mesh stuff, looks good when on.
I'm going to smoke the side repeaters and spray the petrol cap too!
I wouldn't mind doing the headlights in Matt black, but, I'm that heavy handed "I know" I'll no doubt damage them!
Any help would be much appreciated as they would finish it off nicely!
LED rear fog or Smoked?
Think that just covers it...!
Oh, the cars sprayed.
My best mate owns a professional wrapping service. He's done Bentley's, X6's, Porsches and top end cars.
The finish is spot on. I've asked him to wrap my roof in a Matt graphite grey brushed steel effect, along with the door posts and wing mirrors.. What do you think?
Alloys were done Saturday, my mate comes to you, NORTHWEST ONLY, and does them any colour and even while they are on your car. £110. At your home/work/gym etc. takes about 2hrs

Fly eye is very easy to use and you get a better finish than tinting them imo. Also how cheap would he do a roof?
My mate used to have an astra van in matt black that was pretty good.

I like it, but I have a matt black saxo and pictures just doesn't do it justice.
Think they look better in the flesh, if you are going to any shows next year will be looking forward to seeing it

That all depends on colour etc. Probably around £80-100

Simple,
Sponge and hot soapy water.
Hose off, then I use one of these special fibre cloth type things in hot water.
Comes up spotless, looks weird at first as it drys funny, grey and black patches.
But once aired for 15mins it blends and the finish is great

Cheers ExoVyper,
I was hoping that someone would pick up on that eventually.
I'll give it a go.
Fingers crossed, they'll be nice to me!

Fully noted, cheers, that's the plan.
Yep, got one, I need to cut in where the original is... the rear badge "removed" will show the previous paint.
OR will it just go on regardless and not be able to see it?
