thanks!
i'm having a tough time deciding what to do with the paint job....
i spend far too much time every day on type 3 selecta playing around with ideas.
i bought a sample of vw cobalt blue and chinchilla grey, my initial idea was (assuming that i still like the colours) to do the main body in blue with grey roof, bumpers and other ex-chrome work....
but now i'm thinking of maybe reversing that, or even going back to the drawing board (selecta 馃槈 ) and coming up with another colour combo....
i'm also thinking about ditching the trim and having the holes welded up while the bodywork is being done.
it's all a bit much sometimes!!! :duh

Kai, I would go gun metal grey, while keeping all the chrome, it would look mad!

yeh, i've thought about gun metal grey.....it would look good!
but.....
i think dannyboy is gonna do his notch gun metal grey.
and, i really wanna get rid of the trim, now that i've got the idea in my head....

p.s. i'm also intent on going 2 tone! 馃槈

dont go the grey... not the vdub theme. its too sailorboy.
this is my choice.

looks great! are you keeping the same wheels or going to porsche twists like in your signature pic?
Kai.A. 路
for now i'm gonna use the wheels i bought of danny, it has standard steelies on at the mo.....
i just got the tyres taken off the rims (the mags not the steelies) and i'm gonna polish them up to within an inch of their life.
i'd love a big set of porsche rims, but then i would need a big set of porsche brakes to go with them..... i just havn't got that kinda $$$ (yet 馃槈 )
i'm busy modifying another selecta pic, i'll post it up here shortly, it'll be my most up to date idea of how i want it too look (read: i'll probably change my mind on most aspects of it in the coming months :duh )

how ever u go Kai it will look sweet - love the wheels 馃槈

been polishing the wheels up...they come up really nice!
the only thing i can't decide at the mo. is whether to continue the black detailing on the wheels, 2 of them are nearly done, 2 not even started yet. the problem is, i really like the way the non-detailed wheels look........so, do i paint, or strip paint.....
here's a piccy:
the top one was already polished, and has had the black detailing started. the left one i have polished and the right one i have half polished.....
