farmerpalmer Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Looks great -good pics. Did you paint the rear valance -i thought it was supposed to be silver. It does look the DB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKAVIA Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Nice pics BMX - Picked mine up on Friday - it is indeed the DB's! Will post some pics tmrw however in the meantime I need help with a couple of questions: 1) I have the iPod prep armrest - works ok - should it charge the iPod as well? 2) Car does actually sit higher than I thought - I read somewhere on here about blocks being left in the suspension? How can I be sure I don't have this problem? Other than that I'm over the moon! Wheels look great in the flesh - lovely grey rather than silver goes great with black.

petsy Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 the ipod prep will charge the ipod. as for the transport spring blocks, just turn the steering wheel fully to one side or the other and view the springs to see if a rubber block is still attached.

RedRobin Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 No, Andy, it's the same as the Vortex one but not the standard black plastic one. Thinking of another mod are you by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] i painted the valance myself with satin black, its very difficult to mask up properly, it took 2 hours to do. to paint it you need to scotch the panel well to key it and clean it off with cely thinners. easy job really good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 If someone didn't feel their DIY skills were up to it (me, for example!!), a pro body shop could do a professional paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
