Great job guys, looking the mutts

[scouk]

That's just silly!!

Nice arty shots!

BTW - Does anyone know where you get that style of mesh? Been looking for years but cant find anywhere that has it in sheet form, I found something similar but the diamonds are smaller..

That's probably the sort of thing I'm going to have to go for.. I've been looking on and off for a couple of years for the right stuff. And the bulders stuff is closer to the mesh size I want. Easy to get small diamond or hexagon stuff but really want the large holes. Most of the industrual stuff I came acros before was a bit rough for looks, and would require painting/coated black.. Would be nice to be able to get a supplier of the right stuff that the proper grills are made of.

Good suggestion though

Hang on ...... .... that's better, can see the pics now.

Nicely done boys, shined up well.

What did you use on it ?

It was "Poorboys Black Hole", i done the Series Mcrae first then the Hatch. Great stuff for dark coloured cars!

[Midnight21]

Thats nice in black love the red rim on the wheels too

[tommo9375]

Cheers for all the comments -the hard bit is keeping a black car clean & shiney

It is good stuff isn't it ! Used that on Imy's car from the Santa cruise raffle, brought it back to life a treat. Covered it over with FK1000p for long term durability...not sure if it is still working ???

As for keeping it clean, wee tip perhaps, buy some Last Touch and spray the bodywork just before you dry it (after a wash obviously) - it helps with the drying but also gives just that little extra shine too. May seem a tad expensive but mixes 50/50 with water so should last a while. Good stuff too to spray on a bird cr@p before you remove it as well.

Again, nicely done lads, gotta love the shine from black.
