GLAZIAR GREEN GLAZIAR GREEN Its a mk 2 colour and rare they dont even make the touch up paint any more its also a very clean colour and i can speak from experiance

Jazz blue never did it for me , Anthracite would be nice.

How about the Raven blue in a bora?

Ray: Cheers for the pics man, i want something that looks a bit retro so new colour palettes past mk3 is of limits!! (unless it is special!) I was drooling over your caddy at UD!!! soo nice! I think i will look at some porsche colours yeah and see if that turns up something cool..

Wiggy: haha isnt that your colour glazier green !?

signal yellow is good pete,

anyway, updates coming at the weekend........

i dont know whos worse you or mexican for teasing!!! looks good poke!!

Update is a bit of a late one but here none the less

Decided to get to grips with plastic welding! so armed with £1 drill bits, a flat head screw driver and a hob i got the running lights going..

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Also having a bit of an experiment with the A's, thinking of doing something colour wise to either the lips or centres or both... or even just leave them alone! not sure. Leccy tape sparked off some ideas..
Only done black upto now, but i have, light blue, dark blue, red, lime green to try!!

Opinions on the A's welcome

If your A's are minters then i would leave them as is mate, they really make your car.

Loving the driving lamps

firstly... hi pete mate, long time no see,

i like your borbet A,s silver the way they are, they look well nice,

but if you do decide to colour them, do some "photoshopping" first its loads cheaper,

i personally think they would look cool with the centres "mystic blue" like the vento, but hey thats just me,

nice to catch up some time & have a look at all these things you been up to with the old vento,

If They are minters id be tempted to leave them but i gotta say they do look really bice with the centres black

Cheers for the comments guys, im very much in 2 minds what to do with them as i change my wheels more than i change my underwear

The borbets are minters yeah, thats whats making the decision hard as im trying to keep an oem theme as much as possible but with some subtle/unique twists!

Seen some siiccck vento's with gold lips but generally on black cars, not blue/purple.. hmmmm.....

Fil, we'll have to catch up definetly!.. il have to have a pop up when i get my engine finished or we'll get together at a DD meet sometime maybe ??

More stancing happening tomorrow as my arches are getting rolled by a certain Mr.Denton of StyleHaus il get pics up ........

Oh boy you have a treck to come Mr.D when you booked in with him?
i'll come meet you if im free

Booked in for around 2 dude! Come say hello .. il be an intimidated northerner otherwise

Ive checked them out and im soooo pleased with the results, steve is a bit of a maestro and i would recommend him to anyone.. real nice guy.
