Love the the sticker under the break light and the Vtec ones are very funny.
Ever thought about spraying your brake calipers pink?
Next up you should spray your engine cover. Perhaps like a black and pink or white and pink theme. Have a look at my engine cover

#33: Re: Gems 180 Project Nom Nom ;) **Update Pg3** Author: Gems, Location: OxfordPosted: Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:28 am ---- Quick update...... Most of you would have seen the changes at FCS but here you go.
(and before a few of you say it, yes it was an appaling job on the wiper cover and the boot strip so they are being done again this weekend)
Interior light surround before ....
Interior light surround after
Boot Strip and Fog light carbon wrapped
Also debadged the rear and had a bit of a sticker change / move about and got my french pressed plates on
This weekend i will be carbon wrapping the handles and the trim underneath the bonnet and doing some more work in the engine bay.
#34: Re: Gems 180 Project Nom Nom ;) Author: JamieM, Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 5:59 pm ---- Removal of most of the stickers would freshen this up, along with some Smoked Ultra LED's (like I have for sale atm).
Looks a nice car, kudos for trying new things.
