Its painted PVR with clear lacquer over the top on the print. I can't see that its any different to the original which was paint and lacquer.pvr wrote:Looks good

Besides, the flaming exhausts modification comes later LOL

subtle but the best mods tend to be!

Great stuff, and loving the new pics of the valancedario wrote:it cost £120 for the valance and £120 for both hoops. that including delivery back to me. It cost me £21 to get the parts to them as well.toonmal wrote:Looks great Did you take your car there, or send them the parts..Also, how much ?
I had purchased the hoops (with wind deflector holes) and the lower valance, so was able to keep the car on the road. This way i have a choice to sell them on or keep to replace when the car goes to a new owner so i can sell then on.
or i was wondering about getting them done and then selling them on to get the value of the new items back.

Is that £120 to have the insert covered/painted? If so how much was the insert as standard?dario wrote: It cost £120 for the valance and £120 for both hoops. that including delivery back to me.
I'm starting to think that's Ray's carbon insert was a missed bargain at £100

Re: New Carbon Effect parts arrived - valance installed
excellent job, looks stunning, how do they apply it, are you saying they paint the item then apply the weave then lacquer it rather than a film that wraps it, ? at least any shape no matter how complex can be carbonalisiated now !!
