DILLIGAF?: Project Ratty

I've been off work today and went on a search for a V6 front splitter to add to the front end along with the Leon splitter, once again came up with nothing so came home and took some inspiration from the 206 interior.
I took the centre console apart and ended up doing this:
It was just a test to see if I liked it and I'm quite happy with how it looks….. Despite prepping the plastics thoroughly, the paint has not gone on too well in places so I'll have to re do it again at some point.

looks good to me

My splitter will be coming off in the near future, want first dibs? I don't know exactly how long it'll be on the car. But should be off within the next month or 2 and replaced with my JDM lip.

Dibs on that please bud and it's black so that's perfect. How much posted please? :D

Theres a few scuffs in one side of it though so I'd say it'd need a lick of paint ideally!
I'll have to check how much postage is. I'll PM you when I know! :)

Sir you are a star. I'm not bothered by a few scuffs really. As you said, I'll be giving a fresh lick of paint and also the Leon splitter too to match. A fine mix for a lower front end look :)

Another day off work another bit of boredom and more paint (and beer in the sun :D).
Now I'm thinking of following suit with the bonnet and spraying that matt black (would cover all the scratches anyway!).
-
Nice! Looks well.
One thing to think about is that my mate has a custom matt black Vespa, somehow some petrol got spilt on it and it bolloxed the finish, so if you do the bonnet matt just make sure petrol doesn't end up getting onto it. Matt is easy to touch up though all the same.

Funny you should say this Ryan…........
One question…... How would I get petrol on the front end of my car or my spoiler (unless I was drunk of course-but then I shouldn't be driving ;) )?

looking good do like the matt black look

Me too, my old civic was all matt black, easy to look after and covers any blemishes easily.

I've gotten some petrol on the bonnet before, left a jerry can on it after filling up a Vespa.

So, took a trip down to North Lincolnshire last night to go see my folks and have an early 30th celbration (11th of May guys! ;) ).
This weekend coincides with RSCS at Lincoln Show Ground so I thought I might pop along and see what was happening, so Saturday morning was spent cleaning the car out of dog hairs and playing with my new toy thanks to my beautiful girlfriend, a car polisher.
The results of using a powered polisher compared to just good ol' elbow grease is immense, it's just a shame I made the trip down the A15 only to discover it was going to cost me £20 so I could look at other peoples cars for about an hour, I would have paid it if I hadn't have turned up at 4pm and planned on staying for longer but I just turned back and went to the pub instead….
