Hi Trish,

Your sig looks like the car is RadioActive. Or is that just Girl Power  :D

The car that glowes in the dark  :rofl:

Blame Daz he took the picks in poor light , we are going to take better pic,s soon.


Brilliant! A man tries his best, but forgot to arrange the correct light, come on Dazz, sort it out mate!

Personally not a fan of the wheels (too skinny in the spoke and too much open area) and i'd leave the roof rails silver...Gaz

Just had another look at the wheels they look great without tyres on them, but i think the blacked out / darker bits on the outer edge make them look unfinished, maybe if the silver continued all round they'd look better.

No worries Gaz.. I know where you live... :mad:  (only joking)

They look better in the flesh.. A girl at work has the same ones on her Black Corolla hatch and they look crap (sorry Kim :mrgreen:) The pictures I've taken so far don't do them justice wait til the windows are tinted and the roof bars are painted black .. Silver is too close to the body colour in our opinion.

They would have looked nicer in say 17" but happy to use the original tyres when Trish does no more than 8000kms per year in our second car..

Great car Trish. I hope you treat her better than Dazz did with his Luna (the picture of her trunk filled up with bricks, still brings me nightmares)
Oh and... definetely silver!

Great looking car Trish, I'm sure you will be happy with it. I also love the silver roof racks.

Hi Accim.. Trish is 3000 kms away visiting family and with limited access to the internet so don't think she is rude if she doesn't respond straight away.. :idea: :goodjob:

Dazzler and Trish, What a fantastic looking car. Congratulations!

Especially like the colour. It makes me want to break out with The Flex polisher and some Menzerna Polishes, but you are a bit too far away at the moment.

Hope you are using protection... er of the paint type. A few coats of jetseal109 would make that paint abolutely gleam.

The chrome on the front and rear of the car looks good. Agree with an earlier post - add some chrome door handles and maybe the chrome stick on bits along the door/window belts. Should make the silver up top look the goods. Bling rules!

Rocket.

Thanks, so far I love it, missing not been able to drive it, I was thinking of painting the racks black, because to match the door handles but might just leave them silver.

Here's some pix for Trish of her car which got tinted today...(Yes dear I had Praties for tea :D)

The workmanship looks good same film as mine (Black Azz)

I will photoshop some chrome handle covers on to see if that sets off the silver rails!

The guys that do our cars take the glass out of the side windows and bake the film on before replacing the glass so it is safe to open and close them but I didn't (Just in case)  :goodjob:

 :goodjob:  are you going to tell us the name of the tint company?  

We have used Xtreem window tinting in Devonport for our last 5 or 6 cars.. just changed owners but I think the new guys have done an even better job with Trish's CW :goodjob:

Not sure if they are an Australia wide franchise or not?

The new guys tried to steer me towards a different film with a hint of green in it but I opted for the last of their Black Azz as I thought that would look better with the blue than green would  :eek:

I think the flat black door handles look real good Dazz and so does the flat silver roof rails on your (edit: Trish's) pale blue metallic duco.

I was going to take off my 'rola' roof cross bars today which are flat black, to spray them silver and then realised how flat the silver finish is even bordering on a bright flat grey colour they are ? .... You don't seem to be able to buy a flat silver or aluminium spray can ? ...... So back to the drawing board  ???.
