Had a go at painting these today . Bit of touching up to do but not bad for a blind man !
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!

They look the , Not very good at painting - did it involve a load of sanding to flatten before paint? Done with just rattle cans?

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:
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.

[MENTION=14834]John577[/MENTION] DO IT ;) There's gonna me a lot more UK owners getting them done!
[MENTION=24130]Leeroy[/MENTION] I was half and half, but Black prevailed and ties in with all the other gloss black bits.
[MENTION=22033]WOLFMAN[/MENTION] Indeed the cut on them is flawless

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 car :thumbsup:
