C Frame Mod
« on: October 18, 2010, 11:07:53 pm »
Been toying with this for a while. I fancy changing the colour of my C frame like in the ads below.

I'll probably buy some new inserts so I can turn back to standard afterwards. Part numbers are 1KO 864 375G 71N - £4.59 and I KO 864 376 G 71N also £4.59.

How much would you reckon it would cost to get them sprayed up in either colour including de-texturing and laquering?

Any opinions on the look?

Looks like a good idea, but they will need to tie in well with something else in the car.  :wink:

Shouldn't cost that much to get sprayed. You could always prep them first, by sanding them with wet-n-dry.

Why don't you spray em yourself???

You will need a tin of Primer and a tin of Black paint. If you are doing Silver instead of Black you will need a tin of clear Lacquer too.

Oh and some wet-n-dry.

Have a go.  :happy2:

I was thinking of the sliver ones, that might be the closest match to the silver trim already inside. The gloss black ones would suit someone who had a rocco R best.

Probably get some quotes in for the re-spray of them as I'm quite fussy and don't think I could match my own expectations  :laugh:
