Dest's Ruby Red Avant

[dest]

Ive decided to go back to the red lights, I do like the smoked ones, but think it needs darker wheels for them to work as they clash a bit.

I had to sort out the fried eggs first though... spot the difference

That looks much better mate. Looking forward to seeing them on the car
Im planning on doing the same on my cab at some point
Good work

What method do you do yours with?
IMO its little bits like this that make the difference, I always love the small attentions to detail!

[gavs20v]

agreed wholeheartedly. Its al about the detail
I use tinting spray from savage. Key it with some wet and dry then voila. Lots of thin coats the rubbing it down between each second coat to get rid of any imperfections. Finally after a week or so buff it up with the poilsher to get rid of any orange peel

[dest]

Nooooo, Ive not tinted them, Ive removed the "fried egg" orange indicators!
The pic is before and after

[Skull]

have you destroyed the orange plastic inside?

[dest]

Yeah, totally removed it.
Ive done the same mod on my other cars in the past

[gavs20v]

ah, ill get me coat. I thought youd removed the orange filters and tinted them. Still look bloody good though

Standard lights back on, just got to replace the badges but they still need spraying yet.
New tinted plate fitted too

Your car looks really good mate. I love the paint. I really need to give my car a proper polish, since my car looks really bad nowadays.

[dest]

Thanks, its about half done now, Im having to dodge the rain!
By the end of the week I should have some pics up of the whole thing polished and detailed

[A80Avant]

you have to show us the photo of the engine as well though...

[dest]

Apart from the boost hoses the engine is no different to the pics posted earlier in this thread

[A80Avant]

Here's a really poor pic Ive just taken, they are still covered in my dirty finger prints too lol
