Today was supposed to be the CSL M3 but rescheduled so had a last minute (literally) booking for a pre sale XR6, and took some after shots for car sales:

Today was a Porsche 993 Turbo which had been very well looked after just needing a light polish and some interior TLC, Will only post a few photo's so It doesn't clog up the thread.

I actually don't mind red in the right car, not sure if it suits silver exterior though.

Needs a Subaru boot emblem or something, it looks a bit odd.
Or at least go all the way and remove the lock.

I don't mind the de badged look, the bugeye has way to many badges standard.

Although as you mentioned It would look even better getting it shaved completely.

Needs an STI badge

How do you avoid getting lines after doing both sides of those 50/50 shots Hamish?

EDIT: Is it correct to say "an STI" or 'a STI"? An seems more natural....

Not sure what you mean by getting the lines after doing both sides of the 50/50?

Yeh just a STi badge would be good.

It's always whichever is phonetically correct. If you are pronouncing initials you are saying "Es-Tee-eye" so it's appropriate to type an STI as you would say that if you were to annunciate it

I noticed when I tried it on the turd I did half the panel really well, then had a sharp line to show the difference like you do. Then I went and did the other half of the panel but you can still kind of see where the line was... I suppose when both sides are absolutely perfect it's not a problem though

Haha thanks Jerome! Knew there had to be some sort of rule behind it

[hamish_023]

You just need to work as much on the other half and you did on the first half to get them both swirl free. It's a bit easier when you have a panel gap like that door picture.
