Hey KIDS2K why don't you get the J's front lip repaired? Since it's fibre glass it should be. Is the top secret front original and how much did you get it for?

 

did you not take off the trim around the rear of the car that meets the softop..... i've seen some repainted stooks that look particularly bad in this area becuase it wasn't taken off! If you went to the trouble of taking the engine out might as well do ALL of the little nitpicky crap.

 

The plastics bits surrounding the roof had been loosened! It will be slightly raised during painting so they can do a tidy job round that area! There was no need to take out the entire piece as adviced by the painter!

Its not so obvious but you can sorta tell from pic5 and pic6

 

Sorry,
didn't see the other angles... looks like you are doing a very thorough job.... not many do! Can't wait to see results.

 

can i see a close-up of the spark plug cover?
the picture you linked above isn't too clear.
thanks.

 

Kids2k, Are you painting it black because of ur carbon fibre hood?

FYI I love ur car when I first saw it about 1 year ago. Have you had any recent mod(s)? What is your 1/4 and 0-100 time at the moment?

 

MY car is also getting repainted do to sand damage... Please remember to post pics once your is finished!.. should look great..

 

Great colour choice! I recently detailed a customer's SLK 32 in Obsidian, and the results with Zaino were stunning! I look forward to seeing some "after" pics.
