    Default My 1995 VS Commodore Acclaim

    It's pretty much standard.
    216,000k/m on the clock
    Auto.
    It has Bob Jane special mags - 17inch
    K & N High flow panel filter
    Custom painted rotors and engine cover
    Thats basically all ive changed so far.

    Soon to come -
    Over the radiator cold air induction - Done
    Custom interior on door trims - in the progress but lazy.
    Extractors (When I have the money)
    Exhaust (when money comes in)
    Lowered. in progress
    Re-tinted darker.
    Rear main seal repaired.
    Sig wheels.
    Altezza head lights.
    Panels repaired/replaced and painted - In progress.
    New speakers all round.
    Manual conversion when auto dies.
    Electric windows installed.
    Few interior repairs.

    Well, here she is guys.


    I painted this panel. Looks better than what it did I reckon. Just needs a cut and polish.







    Custom paint!



    Hope you like it guys!
    It's my pride and joy! Love workin on this beast even though ive only had it for almost 2 months. Lol

    Haha.
    It's not that hard to do.
    Rip the car up on a jack (choke the opposite wheel diagonally from the wheel your working on)
    Rip the wheel off
    Rip the brake caliper off
    Tape up where the brake pads touch (optional)
    Tape around the area to make sure there isnt any overspray.
    Spray with base coat
    Wait 10-15 mins
    Spray with preffered colour.
    Wait 15-20 mins
    Put back together.

    Hmm.
    Guys. Give me an idea on what colour to paint the brake calipers.
    Should I go the same colour as the rotors or something else like red or black? Hmmm.
    Im also thinking of customising the door trim.
    The material on the bottom of the door...
    I have Green fluffy material at the moment but not sure if I should use it... Or should I go with purple stuff?
    Ideas please!!!!
