vr-koj 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Fair play mate, minis have had it their own way for ages, lol.. Kinda funky in a good way. Just trying to picture the contrast with metallic black VR ! Link to post Share on other sites
gavinvr6 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 it looks really good against the dark paint. f.y.i is dusky mauve pearl not black.have seen the mini's and other dub's with chequer bonnets or roofs but never seen one decent one front to back or with mirror squares. always black and white and roof or bonnet. it really get's attention at meet's and on the street people are always looking and pointing, the finish aint to clever due to bits of fluff and grit under the squares but it kinda add's to the effectattention grabbing=mission accomplished lol, Link to post Share on other sites
vr-koj 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 lol, no offence meant, if you read my first post again carefully I said I was trying to picture an 'alternative' contrast with a black VR as opposed to what you have. No worries anyway, us humans have a habit of misunderstanding each other :-d Link to post Share on other sites
gavinvr6 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 sorry mate didnt read it correctly, rushed it through. with my paint being v.dark it almost looks black at times so wouldnt look far off mine, probably make them square's really really jump out Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 looks good m8 gota meet up soon when your available still got your pocket book Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I think it can look good with a certain style, however i do think the chequered roofs/mirrors etc have been overplayed now and feel its a more common get out of having a re spray or thinking or something different... just my opinion though Link to post Share on other sites
gavinvr6 0 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 thats you opinion and you welcome to it, i appreciate all of em. but mirror squares i have never seen before, and unlike the usualy chequer style it looks totally unique instead of over played. i like the chequer look but also thought it had been done to death hence why ive used mirror reflective one's. ive painted the wheels black and it now looks better, just gotta finish the damn thing lolspadam meet at canoe lake (the one with the swan peddlo's, in southsea at 730pm on 24th (next thursday) for a local small dub meet. usually about 20 cars. then roll down to 'boy racer corner' and into clarence peir carpark for a chat or to warm up in the pub if its cold lol Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 sounds like a plan i get paid thursday so all should be good. Link to post Share on other sites
kcw 1 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think you should do it down to the swage line at the door handle so the whole upper side on the car is chequered, slap some polished 928s and your laughing. Link to post Share on other sites
