Long weekend tinkering...

[The_Hawk]

With a little spare time up my sleeve I did a few things I have been thinking about for a while, one of which was to mow the back lawn. But to the important things:

The Air filter has gone from this:


to this:




Got the Chrome heat shield from AutoBarn for about $25, sprayed it with a quick couple of coast of the yellow I used on the brake calipers Not the best fit at the moment, but with the current mouting, it's the best I can do. Look at alternative ways to mout it... eventually.

But the best part.


This:


went to this:

Chrome badge?

Looks good

[The_Hawk]

Actually the chrome badge was done a while ago, I only just noticed thats different in the photo myself

The headlight surrounds have now been colour coded.

Looks a ton better! Well done.

Looks nice hawk.
P.S. How did you turn that black badge back to chrome? I used "chrome" paint but they turned out to be shiny silver.

[The_Hawk]

I exchanged the black for a chrome

Nah, they are some other brand. It says TYC on the glass.

The only thing I'm not 100% happy with is with projectors it really only puts light DIRECTLY in front of you, so turning into driveways at night can be a little interesting as there is no light as you turn.

They came on the car when I bought it, otherwise I would probably have bought Mk4 style headlights... or angel eyes

How much was it to get the surrounds colour coded??

They look nearly indentical to Hellas, although I have to say I'm wayyy impressed with my projectors. Stacks of light

[The_Hawk]

How much was it to get the surrounds colour coded??

About $12 worth of black gloss paint.

I'm not completely happy with the finish just yet, they need to come back off and be sanded, get another coat of black, then a coat or two of clear. But for the moment it's near enough, I wanted to see if I could get anywhere near the finish I wanted fore I gave up and paid someone else to do it.
