    yeah i like the group A spoliers better than the group 3 ones. the small low ones dont look as good (i think anyway).
    thanks for the pics....
    cheers....personally i like the HDT AERO's, just for my two cents they are more rare and expensive.

    oh and what sort of bodykit does it have?

    thanks....

    Yes it sure is Asteroid Silver we painted it in Spies Hecker 2Pac with U-Pol clear it looks fantastic. The colour looks a little different in the photos as its in the shed with the fluros on.
    If your looking at painting your car I can highly recommend to paint the car in Glasurit or Spies Hecker they are both great products.

    Cheers
    Scott

    yeah i sure am painting my car, half way through it at the moment.
    its had its first coat of primer and spray putty.

    i think i am using Spies Hecker paint but its not 2pac im using acrylic.
    what brands of clears are good??? or doesnt it matter???
    i think i am using 'Standox' as my clear but im not sure

    In the 2pac the main component is Fine Silver which is MB518 there is are larger flake silvers available to its just a matter of adding the other tinters to it. From memory when I painted my VK in Acrylic the Spies Hecker acrylic tinter irridecent is pretty close match to asteroid silver so I think you might been to have a chat to your paint place but it can be done.

    cheers
