Guest jay Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) looking really nice mate ;0) looks very familiar seeing all those pics lol.. cant wait to see it back together. did you remove the entire bodykit and paint each piece individually? just wondered as i have with mine. also noticed in the pics you have masked out the mirrors to paint the centres? did you know they clip out? you just clip out the glass (real easy) slide it off its adjusting rod and unclip the spring,then remove a clip inside the mirror and it just clips out keep us updated... jason.
