vornwend 0 Posted June 15, 2009 Definitely much better Andy. Difficult to tell from photos but could you get an even deeper red hue? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted June 15, 2009 Definitely much better Andy. Difficult to tell from photos but could you get an even deeper red hue? Nice aren't they? Yep, gonna give them a couple more coats and a couple of coats of laquer. Have decided I'm not gonna concourse the car... you need to spend a serious amount of time and money (don't have either) and I'll get really precious and stressed about the car- which will take the enjoyment away for me. May enter it in the odd show and shine though :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boost monkey 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Spot on with the rear clusters mate, there's a reason they'd be on any black C I own! Also, let me know if you're after random bits. I cleared out my "parts bin" at Andy's at the weekend and got shedloads of bits (including G60 calipers :norty: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
