That could have looked good... if you had have spent more than 5 mins covering stuff up.

It now looks a complete wreck.

by the look of some cars i'd say you could be right.

the bumpers are not staying that colour! The wheels MAY come off as I have a better set anyway. So the only paint that went anywhere is on the back light which will come off anyway

Its only a 6n anyway. Prefer mk2 loons

Re: prep work, i just took it apart. like the whole car, windows out doors off. etc.. then masked up like a kuvva fukka all the bits that were left and then went at it with some 800 wet and dry... did a bit of primer where it was needed and then went for it with the colour! I've haven't done the best job possible.. just the best job i could do! lol. bit I'm pleased with it! got a run on one of the wings tho, so I'm gonna be backing htta off today to do it again..

Not long now chaps :)
