[/QUOTE] Hey guys, need your opinion. Paint rocker covers, satin black or gloss black, or the same grey as the rest? The more I look at it I'm thinking satin black, as I was going to do strut caps and other billet bits satin black. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Satin black will contrast nicely with the grey and give you a good theme to carry through the rest of the bay. Build is comin' along nicely - I'm usually not a fan of the grandpa spec pin stripes, but it just seems to work on your car.

Thanks for imput guys, appreciate the feed back. I'll do them satin black, if I don't like them it's no drama to redo them ---------- Post added 15-01-13 at 18:48 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by NZ_GTS [View Post] Satin black will contrast nicely with the grey and give you a good theme to carry through the rest of the bay.

Thanks Gaz, the stripes really do it for me, loved em from first time I viewed the car. I will redo the red stripe in the bumpers to a blood red like the red walls once the VK Calais door mouds go on.

I'd try satin black. I think it would look good. You also would go wrong with keeping it colour coded.

had a blast round Hampton Downs track for Mobil Oils Track day. Got to drive the wagon in anger. Found its limits very quickly of course being a wagon with no sway bar in rear, small brakes and heap load of body roll. but keep her off the walls and had soooo much fun. ---------- Post added 23-01-13 at 18:51 ---------- was on the track with some serious race cars that made me look like i was sitting still. Racing Ray Williams, Mad Mike, GT3 cup cars etc. Mad Mike was completely side ways at full speed drifting past me at one stage, quite a buzz. Managed to keep up with a Suzuki Swift race car, monstered him on straights and he walked away in the corners ha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
