It's the orange stickers on my bonnet dampers that's kick started the orange theme Ian

Thanks mate - next will be tackling spray painting some engine bits and also a slam panel next month!

Don't mess with Blobby lol

That's the only thing I'm scared of - getting runs on the final product! But good to know it can be mended. The other thing I don't want to do is end up filling the holes on the battery and brake fluid cover - but like Easty said, just gotta make sure I do nice light coats. Once I get my slam panel I'll probably get that colour coded too so that the orange theme matches up nicely

So I gave it a try today and this was the result I used the Fiesta Orange from Halfords - it has a nice pearlescent effect. It came out ok, there were a few ripples on one side but with a bit more practice I think I'll be ready for to do the actual bits. Pleased with the colour though!

Tell me about it mate, I prefer cutting so much more to bulking. I'm at the stage now where by my last meal is like trying to push out that last rep lol. The toilet is my best friend at the moment haha

So I finally got round to attaching my Mad Look eyelids today courtesy of Steve at Redline Styling! Had them sprayed by RT Performance last week and they match up perfectly

I'm in the same boat as you - used to be a hardgainer (still am) and struggle to put on any weight. I used to weigh around 78-80kg at my peak and was still pushing a decent weight, however this time around when i did my bulking cycle I've now gone up to 91kg and still got another 6wks of bulking left. I'm a massive fan of USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic when bulking but not for cutting. I use it post-workout and for my pre-workout I'm using Kre-Alkalyn with BCAA's. Also take a serving of BCAA's after training and glutamine and creatine and then ZMA before bed. I'm munching down around 4000 calories a day! I've put on some fat, but there's a lot more muscle and strength than ever before now as well. Breakfast: Big bowl of porridge plus 2 pop tarts and a protein shake Couple of hours later: Tub of cottage cheese and a croissant with nutella and peanut butter Lunch: I get these ready meals from www.musclefood.com or 2 chicken breasts and brown rice, then yogurt and something sweet Couple of hours later: Fresh fruit (just a random mix of anything) Oat/cereal bar Pre-gym: Pasta with tuna, or salad consisting of avocado, peppers, mozarella and tuna Post-gym: USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic Dinner: Anything high in protein and carbs My training is a four day split: Monday - Legs - Squats, Leg press, Hamstring curl, Lunges, Calf raises Tuesday - Chest - Incline bench, Flat bench, Flat flyes, Cable flyes with handles at the top, Machine incline press Thursday - Back - Bent over barbell rows, T-bar rows, Single arm dumbell rows, Wide grip lat pulldowns, Narrow grip lat pulldowns Friday - Shoulder & Arms - Military press, Arnie press, lateral raise, Reverse flyes (rear delts), Shrugs, Barbell curl, Skull crushers, Superset hammers with dumbell tricep raise, superset preacher curl with tricep cable pulldown The training routine I use for the big lifts is Jim Wendler's 531 Routine. You may think you're not doing many reps, but try it out for a few months. My strength went through the roof and I found myself putting on a kilo a week in mass! But key thing for weight gain is YOU GOTTTA EAT Give me a shout if you need any info mate

Quick questions guys, do I need to sand in between coats of paint as well? I'm practising on an old phone cover and sanded it with 600, then one coat of white primer, sanded again with one coat of paint and now drying. Do I need to sand again with 1200 or add the second coat on once dry?

Yeah I'd go to look at the paint in person first and then see if I can find it cheaper online. Otherwise just pick it up off the shelf. Did you get your orange from Halfords?

Mine only took 71 litres to the brim? Does the HR have a smaller capacity? your tank will always have 'some' fuel in there, unless you had it drained completely? Good point, otherwise I wouldn't have made it to the petrol station

Saw a White 350Z - LN03 driving down Fencepiece Road towards Fairlop roundabout and then took the exit onto Barkingside High Street. Seen today at around 12.30pm.

Do my eyes deceive me, Will suggesting hot water?? :scare: :scare: Lol

This is exactly what I've done. I've got a little 1.4TDI polo which I use for work and my runarounds and it's a refreshing change when I come to pick my Zed keys on my days off knowing I'm going to go on a nice drive where I can push the car a bit. If you can afford a cheaper car for a runaround I'd definitely recommend it

What a ridiculous idea. Any excuse

RIP...

I've kept my stickers on too! I like the the Orange colour as I'm planning to continue the orange theme throughout my engine bay too

Yeah two weeks isn't too bad. I'll expect something by end of the month then. Still got my eyelids to fit, but the weather keeps p*ssing down everytime I want to fit them!

Yes it was your original find chirag Sweet - I paid for mine today. How long did yours take to arrive?

I've just bought one too now

How much was this one mate? Was it one of the £6 ones that I posted up originally?

I used my washers on the engine bay side (bottom end) as I used the supplied bolts so I don't have to cut the plastic on the covers. The bolt at the top on the bonnet had a washer already in place so didn't have any need to put it there. To be honest I don't think it makes any difference but I used them as they were there

Too many haters out there who spend their money on drugs n sh*t and then get jealous when they see someone else driving a nice car. Really p*sses me off when I hear this stuff happening. Should I get the chance I'd put a dent in their car using their own f*cking head!!

Welcome mate - black is the best colour too
