i agree with RB, the matt black just suits those HUUUUGE rear treads.
either way it's going to be tough as nails.

Im doing mine black as well if I can get a spare second!

Im not doing any flash kits so it will be a little different and those wheels will make sure Im getting into the wrong car if I ever see it in the flesh

.

Full gloss has to be dead straight and is a pain to keep clean but looks damn good when it is.

Go for it.

Regards Greg.

Original panel

New panel

Start of idea

They have along way to go until we reach the finished product that we have in mind

Cheers for all the post re: colour, top stuff and greatly appretiated

The ideas we have for the trims inside involve alot of timber work, fibreglassing, priming, painting, upholstering .................. so it is better to do it before the body is primed and painted.... just incase

Here are some more pics of the "door trim" and rear panel progress, the speakers are the new Pioneer Basalt composite systems, 7 in total (big sub in the boot) to belt out Eagles, Dire Straites, CCR, ACDC .......

bring it on!! This is stage 3 of 7 for the trims

The lump in the middle is a "high mount stop light" (kindly donated from the VN SS
