So I've had the car for a couple of weeks now and I''m starting to do a few bits and bobs on her, I've also got some parts on the way, fog lights and replica type R grill should be here by tomorrow, rep Mugen front lip and rep type R rear on the way, and saving up for some v-maxx coilies. So starting off with things that doesn't cost :win:

First off, I've been de-badging the boot, highly recommend this as the first "mod" but beware, you're gonna need a lot, and i mean A lot of patience haha, that sticky shite is HORRIBLE, such a repetitive job!

Removed the badges first:

The "Honda" badge was the worst and took the longest :nono:

Done!

I'm a bit of a perfection-ist so don't be alarmed by the 2 hours bit XD

After de-badging the booty, I moved onto colour coding the plate holder,

Prepped and first coat of primer:

Primered up and ready for paint:

First coat of paint:

Just finished painting it up not so long ago, and is drying at the moment awaiting for some lacquer! Hopefully it'll be done by tomorrow lunch time and I'll post some updates.

Ps. Didn't realise Halfrauds had the paint already, I got my first can mixed, which is double the price of what you can get :angry:

Pull them off, which was quite easy, it was cleaning off that sticky gunk that took me a while, i used a cutting compound to rub it off, and like i said, i'm a perfectionist so i took my time and made sure it was all gone and didnt leave any marks XD
 
you should have used a hairdryer mate it loosens off the sticky stuff then you car just stick an old car underneath and prize them off lol
