Yea I was gonna write up a post of how I can get my two tone back, ya can see the paint chipping away round the bottom of the doors and back bumper, it doesn't even look like its been sanded before painted so would be mint to get two tone back.
Any ideas

Also stealthy have you done a post about your rear lights? they look mint thinking I might copy you as I have one RH exec light and the rest darker chrome lined calais ones, and can't seem to find a RH one so thought id head down your rd?
So Wet For You!
Theres a few posts where i mentioned it. Havn't dome a full write up.
I will once i get my new set of lights, already have the pics etc for wagon lights, will get a full set of pics for sedan ones and do a how to.
Your best bet is doing what i did, and buy exec lights, and buy spray on chrome. Looks much better than any factory ones.

Why not be unique, and paint the bottom half a different colour (as opposed to standard silver.)

different? na wouldn't look right without a silver

did a cooler thermostat change in the weekend lots of difference, runs just above C and doesn't get hotter than quarter the scale.

as someone above mentioned, colour code your grill, looks a million times better. buy a can of touch up spray paint and spray it straight on like i did, or you could do it properly with sanding and stuff but w/e mine came out fine

Ha, mint just went and got 2 cans of colour match and clear and many sheets of paper, looks like ill be doing it this weekend.
I'll put picks up after, once i've got my bumper back on too. Bumper off as I managed to get an genuine optional power steering cooler

shes pretty standard at the moment, just wondering what to do with the boat anchor? engines' sweet but not near enough power one day oh one day.Nice Rig man, well done

This is after a million coats of stupid reacting lacquer damnit, looks ok for now, still got the bumper to go.
She may be standard but she is clean. There are heaps of tips on warming up a 5L on here. just do a search and take special notice of greenfoam, he knows his stuff.
