looks great! I don't suppose you can drive the car whilst these bits are off? I imagine the painting and drying can take a bit of time and I've only the one car!Had a go at painting these today . Bit of touching up to do but not bad for a blind man !

Every little helps with those convertibles! It's not a selling point we use on the jacking rails, ( we dont need to haha! keeping them in stock is hard enough as it is!) but they do help apparently.Finally fitted my Steeda 'vert jacking rails, that was a fun 30 mins on the floor with my socket set, torque wrench and loctite blue :lol:.
After a quick set drive all is well - quick question thou, should the car feel stiffer? It might be the placebo effect of having worked on it, but I would swear that it feels different :shrug:
Sanding was fun sat out the back garden in the sun. Bit of masking, red primer , red topcoat ,gloss black for the letters and acrylic laqueur to finish . all in all about ÂŁ20 from halfords and the satisfaction knowing i done it PS ive never painted b4!They look the , Not very good at painting - did it involve a load of sanding to flatten before paint?

Did you save the cut-outs to weld back in place come resale time?
ahahahhahaa, I did consider it, Mike handed me it and said "im turning these into a hood scoop for you too" :lol:! I left them with him, I have no use for them, at all, vent life!Did you save the cut-outs to weld back in place come resale time?
Seriously - loving the gloss black bits. I think the black vents would take time to grow on me personally, but can see why you did it, matches well with the other gloss black.
Look a bit odd without any other black detail on the hood, however, your carLooks a great job Manders, but I would have gone for red, but each to their own!
