Trying keep the costs down as low as possible but still get a good job.
Don't want it showroom condition but want it respectable.
Just over 12 months ago I had a 280bhp Toyota mr2 but sold it cus needed more seats
My bmw is nearly 200 and it feels like driving a slug
I want something that is scary to drive

heard vinyl wrap can be hard, but if you've done it and would give me a hand that would be ace!! I'm still undecided on a colour

Cheers mate, trying get it in best condition as I can. I wire brushed everything down, the sand papered it. Then sprayed it with protective black paint. Iv been really anal with everything tho. It got to the point I bought a toothbrush just to get the dust out the cracks before I sprayed lol

Should have sprayed it with underseal like waxol, last and protects it much longer
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
