Bert you definitely need some camber on the fronts, the rims seem to poke instead of sitting flush atm. What size tyres are u running?

I think youve nailed it then. Nice work :good:

No chrome wings in the grille is a nice touch also.

hey rob, what did you use to spray the chrome wings on the grille?

by **bert_** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 9:20 pm

hey marc, i used high temp matte black.

by **STI-47W** » Tue Sep 06, 2011 10:29 am

looks awesome dude! im going to try doing it to mine today, as well as painting the calipers!

by **bert_** » Tue Sep 06, 2011 10:40 am

I'm doin my calipers matte black as well so my EBC green stuff pads can stand out

Btw, do you still have that pirelli golf? It wouldn't happen to have a red number plate and be around orange grove gym would it?

Painting calipers to make your pads stand out? That's different

I would suggest doing it gloss or satin because matte will collect a lot of dust and is very hard to clean and will result in being brown.

Did you have to sand back the chrome first? And take the grill out?

BTW, your car looks awesome! Love that clean look.

by **bert_** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 9:06 pm

Hey mate, I removed the whole grill and then removed the chrome wings

Removed the chrome with brake fluid And sprayed primer and the color of choice
