Thats better

Nice flip flops

haha and nice work buddy

Yeah Good Work! I Like It! :-D

looks 100% better mate well done!

I'm away to do mine in dragon green

looks like a cool little mod mate !!!

took me fucking ages and the rubbers an absolute nice person to come off, anyone got any tips for taking it off quicker?

Nice flip flops

haha and nice work buddy

Ha 'North Face' Cheers guys, just took a fair bit of sanding

I'm doing mine in silver, dont think the dragon green looked too great, silvers nice, ill add some pics when done xx

my attempts haha

both look sweet youve both inspired me to do mines

have one question tho, how do yout get the handles off the door card? and is it their any problems with the handle mechanism?

you just unscrew them from behind, the electric window controlls an absolute nice person though to dismantle and then reassemble, so watch that, also the rubbers a pain in the arse to come off, takes fucking ages lol,

i dont understand this m8

...the electric window controlls an absolute nice person though to dismantle and then reassemble......

is it just a standard screw or is it torx?

heres a photoshop i done:

a phillips, easy enough

I'm going to do my ones again i think, i was too impacient haven't got a good enough finish, well to my standards,

make sure you get all the rubber off as its not good for painting on and just peels, also the electric windows controller isnt good and i think mines broken it only works occasionally now but I'm sure ill sort it easy enough!

you should do your window handle aswell that would look nice

hmm also your speaker mount, the silver bit, do it would look good, i would imagine paint could go straight on to it

wow, they all look really good, would like to do mine in black, but really dont think I've got the patience.eek! lol will probly have to get the bf to do it ( he sprayed his own mirrors and did a good job lol) x

SAND:

PRIMER

PAINT

They look well smart, anoher thing to add to the list.

Good job, & cheers for the info/inspiration.

going to do the rest of the handle and the tweetr cover another day. just done the inners to see how they would turn out. :grin: :grin:
