Apollo000 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 As I was away for a while I thought I would give a short update on what I've done, apologies for the pic heavy content. The most obvious change is the Martini Livery, bought on eBay from Europe and applied by VK Graphics in Melksham - I was worried about the quality of the product but Kelvin from VK assured me they were a quality product. So next was a a quick engine clean, more our of boredom than anything else. Lastly a poor DIY effort on the brake callipers but definitely a little smarter.

½cwt Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 I like the Martini stripes on the blue background. Great for a Le Mans trip or similar events but personally not full time. What did it cost? Wheel nuts as a finishing touch - Hammerite silver is an almost perfect match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is actually Atlas Grey but with differing light looks blue, black or sometimes grey. Cost was circa £170 for stripes and £160 for fitting, main reason apart from aesthetics was to cover up some peeling lacquer on the bonnet so cheaper than a respray and obviously I like it, not for everyone but thats why we all have individual cars! Wheel nuts are getting replaced soon, well the ones that are starting to go around the shoulders - I was wondering which paint would match! Cheers for the Hammerite tip 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the Hammerite tip 🙂 Given the peeling lacquer, a good solution, go All In! Keep to 130Nm or 96lbft to protect the bolt shoulders.

Cheers for the Hammerite tip If you're spraying try to do as light a coat as possible. I've found it comes off pretty easily when you put a wrench on there.

Nice loaded question there. I didn't think keyboard warriors exist on more upmarket forums. Top marks 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
