Now I realise the car was actually a shade of pink before it got painted,went for super red 5 which also looked a bit deeper.

Went a drive through Loch Lomond and the trossachs and took a few pictures of the car as it is now,needs some new front indicators and a few other bits and bobs but its looking so much better now!

Cheers guys!

The red was an impulse buy and it took a while for me to like it after having a black mr2 previously. Love the red now though,just need to make sure it stays red now!

i've had 2 reds a black and my current yellow, (i had a red one and a black one at the same time) when i had the red, i always wanted a yellow one, now i have a yellow one, i can't stop looking at nice red ones the grass is always greener (or redder) i suppose

[Gullzter]

Looks Brilliant Glen, looking forward to seeing it next weekend!
Im going to be buying some black mesh soon as i get a few pounds together for the front bumper and side vents if you fancy chipping in to get some for yourself too?

[glen n]

I'm not going to mesh my side vents,I quite like it open. May do the front bumper when I replace the radiator though. When you getting the mesh?

I started really liking the yellow ones when I first saw the one Rory I think it was had,then he robbed the engine out of it for his anniversary project! the yellow one was a really nice car. The silver one isn't too shabby though!!

[CRAIGROBBO]

Looks really good pal! Nice work

Cheers Craig

Dude that looks epic, I want mine painted now!

Only thing I'd change is the number plate location. Blocking off air to the radiator.

I had a small plate in the same location and got fined twice,once while waiting for new plates to arrive, on my apexi commander it has shown 2 degrees higher water temps with the plate there,which is a fair bit! I'll need to have a look and see what other folk have done with theirs. My mate made me a stick on plate which can go on the bumper a while back but im sure they will also be illegal now(or never were legal) . Looking at the original plate to the one that's on now the gig one looks crap there!

[Ryan S]

stick it right on the bumper without the horrific number plate bracket thing,
