Just after I got her back from mot and back on the road.
The carbon bonnets really dull in spots and got two spider cracks. Tried re- lacquering it but still not right. Got told it would need re gel coating. Looked good wet. Image
Decided I was gonna have a go at carbon wrapping it!! Want to do other bits to then it will all match.

Really enjoyed wrapping the bonnet. Got 5m so I can do boot and roof too.

Love the fact you are modding it yourself. Not too keen on the wheels though. Some bronze volks or maybe a cheap copy by the name of Rota would look better. Front bumper is a bit fugly too.

Cheers. Changing the carbon wrap as the company I bought it off sent wrong stuff and sorter roll then I payed for so was about to wrap the roof with the extra he sent and it was different stuff but was the stuff I should of had in the first place. He sent 3d matt and I wanted 4d gloss but having never used it before just thought thats what it should look like. So gonna do it all again. To be fair to the company they accepted the mistake and then resent 5m off which ever wrap I wanted so end up with 8m of 4d gloss. Just need some time now. Should match the the carbon spoiler better. Yeah im in the market for some new wheels 15s or 16s I think. Need my current ones to pay for new one. Swaps or hopefully sell to cover cost of new. Ive also got some koni adjustables to fit to drop it a bit its just finding the time to do it. Got loads more pics to upload too. Cheers for the comments.

Had some water coming in the sun visors so had a little look under the seals and found a couple of holesImage
some paste had been put in to stop it I think. So decided to get it sorted properly.
Image

cleaned off so I can see what im dealing with. No wonder I was getting water in. Decided to remove all the trims underneath treat the rust and firbeglass the holes before filling and wrapping it.

Image

Fill and sand before carbon wrap.

Got Loads of picture of things I've done just been busy and haven't had time to upload them. Had a starting prob which turned out to be the main relay so re-soildered it and its been fine since.
Ive done a service and did the fuel filter aswell which was pretty straight forward. Also when i had the front bumber off the radiator didnt look to clever even though it never leaked or over heated but fitted a nice new alloy rad and some new pipes.
Image

bit old.
Image
new rad.
Image

Started addressing some of the many rust spots.
