OMG, that number plate sounds extremely nasty in Romanian :lol: :lol:

 

Car looks amazing, love your wheels! :lol:

 

Haha, I had thought about changing it at some point but never found one I like enough to justify the price/hassle! Had R3 CAD on my old MR2. Should've kept that :(

Its a bit fiddly and the paint can tint the flat area around the letters (Which it has a little on mine).

Best thing I found was to get a blob of paint on a fine brush and just use the brush to guide the blob into the corners of the letters.

Takes longer to try each coat but less messy and gives a good result after a couple of coats

The missus has some of this stuff called nas 99, its a some kind of alcohol cleaner she uses when she does people nails. Works a treat for getting any over paint off. Maybe you could fix yours with it? Dont think its too expensive... :thumbs:

 

Finished product:

Still need to do a bit more cleaning to try and get the last of tinted areas clean but im happy with it :)

that's one way to spend a lot of money!

 

bet you cant wait

 

Only the best for my zed!

Your right, I cant wait to get it on. I doubt it will sound a whole lot different but as its a GT4 I kind of want to keep it fairly OEM looking so parts are selected carefully! :)

Milltek and Berks all fitted! So happy with it, its exactly what I wanted. Fairly OEM looking and sounding but an awesome growl when you give it some.

Japex took a before and after shot which they have kindly allowed me to use.

I've still got them. Had a fresh set of Falken 452's put on them not long before getting the LMGT4's.

Figure I might get them reconditioned sometime then shove some winter tyres on them but for now they are just a backup set.

Well still haven't recorded a sound clip of the exhaust but I have de-fried-egging my rear lights. Shoved an LED reverse bulb in too :)

If it hadn't just chucked it down I would have replaced the drivers side cluster with the cleared out one I have!

Way ahead of you ;)

That was on the list for today but it tipped it down so I took a break for a bit.
