Hi small up date
Most of the rubbing down is done and is off for paint the end of the month wwwwwweeeeeee.
But I like the sound of shiny anthracite same colour as my revos inside the car with my carbon door cards ans tunnel cover and the engine bay/under side back to white???
What do you think??
no more fuse box hole



No more battrey tray

no more trim holes

Well its nearly painted but I'd say its a rally paint job on the inside,no runs but abit of crap in the paint ?! :-\ but I don't mined its cheap and the cars to be abused
Its graphite same as the revos wheels


Getting it home Monday then its the doors inside and side skirts/bumpers to get painted up
