nice Howie! I alway thought this looked great on the old calipers, glad you've got the new ones up to scratch mate

Cheers Nick,

thought I would add this latest little colour-coding detail, which I completed a few weeks back,
got a new pair of headlight protectors for my birthday in April, and decided to paint the clips

Did have to do a little wet-sanding again to be happy with the finish, from the "lumpy" left to the sanded and polished right:



Any excuse for a reflection, even a blurred one



Fitted now, the colour is not too clear on this pic, but I liked how the photo turned out.



Plenty of things still to do, to get ready for my first ever Japfest ..............must start polishing her again

What you gonna paint next then Howie

She looks as stunning as ever

Show & Shine contender or should i say winner

I say, definately a winner...Damn, even the most little bits are as shiney as....

I wish my ZXI was half as clean and tidy as yours Howie. Thats real dedication you have

Glad youve got these bits done now Howie. Always thought they let the car down.

top job howie see you and your mint car at japfest

Your car is so shiny i like wheels colour

Cheers for the comments, especially yours Nick

Here's another reflection in my new headlight cover:




I managed to finish and fit my painted kick plates for Japfest yesterday



the rear plates:





and the fronts with Megs badges:



and a clearer reflection shot:






Did get a little carried away getting the F clean and shiny for Japfest ................

matey, If I had a nice garage......... I would be doing the same as you


I really like the megs badge on the sills there a nice fit.

great to see you yesterday Howie, the car is looking even more amasing! The sills look great. As I said on the day, I think sill mods make such a difference the originals are large plastic things which great you each time you enter or leave the car.

Thanks ernee

It was good to see you too Nick, pleased with my new shiny bits as well

She is just so beautiful Howie

Think i might have to do my wheel well also

Shame we only have those stupid wheels in there but

If i have enough silver spray left i'm gonna do the space saver, at least it won't look quite so bad as the yellow colour when you lift the mat up

you guys! you guys! colour coded space savers!!!

You are setting one very high bench mark for the rest of us you know.

I've never liked the colour of the spacesaver. What on earth possessed them to make them that colour

At least it wouldn't be quite so embarrasing having to put it on if at least the colour matched

Nothing new for the car...........but last week we (I) bought a new digital camera.
Worked out that my original Fuji is now 8 yrs old and with only 2 MP,
seeing the difference in picture quality on my daughters new 4MP camera we decided to buy a new one.
Another Fuji, this time a S2500HD with 12.2 MP and lots of new functions and settings to confuse me.

Here are a few pics from last week, outside my garage:



Then tried the full zoom function from the same spot, amazed by the quality



Last night, after shutting our shop, I gave the F a dust with a body brush, then quick detail on fingermarks etc.

Tried to find a new spot on the farm for a few pics:





Down by our back barns:



zoomed in:





One of my favourites, with reflections in the numberplate too:




And a last one from my drivers door:



Very pleased with the new toy

Nice pics, and your car is simply stunning mate. That last shot is an inspiration - good job I'm picking up my G220 tomorrow

Yeah, cracking photos Howie
I must get myself a decent camera sometime

The last pic looks like a reflection in a mirror Howie, all credit to you

I just got blinded!!!!! that's a hell of a good job there!

These Fuji superzoom's are good aren't they, I got my S8100fd a couple of yrs ago and still I am finding out new things I can do with them (just found out I can get bracketing done on it and then HDR some pictures!) have fun with it

Nice one Howie ... again


Mark

Looks brill Howie very nice mate

When are you sorting BUG out then Howie ?????

theres be afew reports of the g220 burning out after 1st usage, I think these a faulty batch... Yours might be ok but if not there good on warranty

Howie.. I hate you

Cheers Guys



Whenever you and Paul would like to visit again Jax, I'd love to play with the Bug

yeah but what about the Bg


Taxxxiiiii!!!!

Quick update, been doing a bit more painting.............on a larger scale this time.

Tucked my F up under her cover in our second garage and spent a couple of evenings sealing and painting my garage floor.
Used a couple of tins of heavy duty grey floor paint from Screwfix.



Inside the garage:



I also received a set of blue coated headlight covers from Awaters and tried them on.

.......must admit I'm not so sure with how they look on my F, they are a great colour and looked good on Andy lovely silver F.

But I'm still undecided on them on my darker coloured one, think I prefer them clear

I like them

I think they look good Howie. I think its good to have something subtley different on your "perfected standard" car

He'll have something else that is very cool also to add very soon!
