The only parts that stand out and ruin it for me are the headlight water sprayers. I personally wouldnt do anymore as it will start to look tacky.

Yeah I only decided today to do the side vents for a muck around, I don't want it over the top. I always had a back of my mind though about those water sprayers too but my social group all keep saying its nice.. Maybe a need a new bunch of friends

No. But u need more dipping. Why did u remove the two triangle area on the bonnet?

Maybe try yo paint the wheel and a/b pillar?

It's not salsa. Does not need more dipping.

The bonnet strips looked shithouse The owner obviously realized this fact and removed them.

always a slight cringe when i see Trolley's posted something. The brutal honesty! aha

Yeah, i admit alot of what goes on there does look tacky. Thus why its toned down to a simple outline on the scoop instead of over the top bonet stripes and such.

The black delete on the bottom of the front bumper is covering a nasty scratch from offroading. Once ive saved the dough, a new bumper, quality lip and clean paint job will be replacing it.

I ultimately want to end up with a just a simple gloss black vinyl roof & wing. The whole dip thing is just a play around, and each piece only seems to last a month or two before i get over it and change it around.

I had some damage from a pot hole that was encountered on a cruise a couple of years ago repaired by Neil at UAR.
One would hazard that the cost to repair might be significantly less than a new unpainted bumper.

I thought as much. I havnt been looking around through quotes yet, though price is not the priority over quality repairs.

From what ive seen Owen at Melthams seems to be the go-to guy, but i will definantly check out UAR.

Cheers
