francoisv 466 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 Thought I'd start on the tail gate light. Picked the light up from a hilux and used my LED strips purchased from JayCar. Will probably land up tinting the light a little once I have the mold in the rear sail fabricated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

francoisv 466 Report post Posted April 27, 2015 Mmmm, trying not to Chinese it up too much, mind you I haven't sorted the reverse light out. Wonder if it would pass wof if I went with the white LED as a reverse light? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kulgan 1042 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 You may have said in an earlier post I've missed. But what color are you going to do it in. Man it's looking good. Cant wait to see some pics when you get it back from paint. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francoisv 466 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks I was going to go with the BMW i8 Blue/Grey. But have since caught sight of another colour that I really really like. It will be a 2 tone Black Blue pearl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francoisv 466 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Beasty was picked up today, kind of an emotional departure. Stopped by the paint suppliers and picked up my sample sheet, colour will be similar but smaller / finer flakes 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 thats pretty glittery man... something that a 10 year old girl would have in her pencil case.. or a ladyman on k-road would wear.... hope it looks good once its done haha looking forward to it 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zero 1162 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Colour is a bit too bling for my tastes. I'm sure the car will still look awesome though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francoisv 466 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Yea it won't actually be that sparkly, the flakes will be finer so it will appear to be black in one light and dark blue in another. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
