Post 637867 by MoleT-5R on 2013-08-23 00:06:45

May be you should unveil it at trax..to keep the suspense going

Post 637881 by M-R-P on 2013-08-23 06:02:40

I think it'll be difficult driving it to trax with that cover on :D

[QUOTE=M-R-P;637881]I think it'll be difficult driving it to trax with that cover on :D[/QUOTE] could cut a couple of eye holes :banana:

Post 637889 by M-R-P on 2013-08-23 06:21:08

You can just see the traffic report... "A 17 foot long, black ghost was seen doing 120 mph off the sliproad, the AA has extended it's cover to include the elderly ruining upholstery"

Paint looks up to my quality, but at least I would have masked off the glass

Post 637944 by Nealevo on 2013-08-23 11:46:54

The photo quality is poor as I'm using my phone and its indoors but you get the idea. Image Image Image I will take some better pictures when it's been cleaned and the Sun is out .

Post 637945 by M-R-P on 2013-08-23 11:54:28

Post 637948 by V70 Graham on 2013-08-23 11:57:19

Nice, hope you keep it that way, well at least long enough for TRAX so we all get to put out grubby finger prints on it lol

Post 637950 by Tomcat on 2013-08-23 12:22:40

Ooh nice...Are the roof rails painted gloss black?

Post 637951 by JamesT5 on 2013-08-23 12:28:33

[QUOTE=Tomcat;637950]Ooh nice...Are the roof rails painted gloss black?[/QUOTE] Yes mate, I had them painted when I had my wheels refurbed £25 :)

Post 637955 by bonelorry on 2013-08-23 12:56:06

Looks good, The second picture looks like there quite a bit of depth to the paint with the refection. They do look smart Red 855R's, My old one looked good after a detail.
