There's no accounting for taste

And, "snippy" most definitely is a word!

Whatever

Wow,new pics look great Phil! Cars is looking great mate


Cant wait for the same treatment on mine.

Patch your car probably looks newer than when it left the factory!

Looking good chap

To be fair, this deserves a terse response! Kind of unnecessarily belligerent don't you think?

By the way Patch, I'm very glad you decided to go back to black with the grille - I think it looks much better!

i agree with you mikey, on both counts. but hey, big mouths shout loudest eh?

I'm quite excited about fitting these mirrors tomorrow Procs, should look different anyway! Remembering this is a Patch Plus and all

Come to the Donington park meet patch!

Eh! When's this?

tomorrow! were to be there at 8am

Can't do that Sam - my daughters having a sleep over at a friends, I'm the taxi back

Just wondering, how do you manage to get your parts sprayed so quickly? It's like one minute you've got something in 1 colour and then a day later its changed!

Well Insy... the process is thus;

When I spray something like a grill (or wing mirrors). I prepare the night before (including masking)

Spray primer - leave 15
Spray first coat - leave 15
Spray second coat - leave 15
Then third

Bring into house for 1 hour

Spray lacquer coat - leave 15
and repeat twice after.

Sometimes I will gently rub down the colour coat (1200 grit) before lacquering

That's it! Works for me, not an ideal method, but for smaller stuff, it works just fine.

EDIT - The wing mirrors are a spare set, allowing me to play

spray in haste, repent at leisure - that's what they reckon...

nice jobs done their patch, i'm just waiting for your sense of style to return..

Trouble is Proccy, your sense of style is back in the 60's

Something special coming up Mr Patch?

Slightly modifed body

i like the look of that cloth interior patch, nice one....

Are you feeling okay Proccy?

Next job,swap the 6 speed out for a 5 speed gearbox....

Gradually getting back to a poverty specced coupe...lol

To be fair,i have the one cloth seat in mine atm and is incredibly comfortable and supportive.

Good idea for everyday use mate,the recaros are like rocking horse and easy enough to swap back over.

Nice seats aswell
