Default re-spray and pimp my red cabriolet

Starting this (alsmost ending) year to do some changes and respray of my red cabriolet. Its an 1.6i 16V Pacific version of 1996 and i wanted to have the RS2000 bulbs on my bonnet, a clean front bumper, black hood (i mean the hole hood of the car!) and a black/red compo off the component of te cabriolet.

A friend of mine did the most work to the car to get it clean from (the little) rost and he did the making of the bonnet and the re-spray of the hole car, starting with this:


the bottem of the car was in grat condition




prototype of the bonnet


some rost





..and cleaned


the cleaning of the front bumper...



..finished


finaly the making of the bonnet...




..ready for paint!


the first layer




radiant red (original Ford)


the second layer (after a view days)




velocity red mica (original Mazda 6, with al lot of metalic )


RS parts like rearbumper, skirts and rearspoiler..



back home: whit the hole top in black (sonnenland) fabric! Look at the A-style..



spoiler detail 2 colors (black under/ red above)


RS "wings" at wheelcast


smoke headlights


future option



dash, airbag and poke parts in color

photoshout!







More to come....

imo it needs the mirrors painted and the side strips and rear lights removed/changed and a set of 17" rs 7 spokes and it would be perfect
