Decided to test fit the type r rear lip before I get it sprayed, Such a difference a small change can make :)


 
So I was doing work experience, In a crash repair/body shop so I decided it was time to get some of my stuff painted.. :thumpup:

Bumper before paint just after a quick sand down and panel wipe


Bumper painted


Bumper after a coat or two of lacquer and in the oven

Have a few small updates here :

First of was to get the gear knob changed as I just hated the feeling of the standard one....

Standard :


A Type-R style gear knob and Gear stick extension that I got off http://http://japstyle.org/

Really happy with it and love how it feels :)


I also got a genuine Bung/Cover for the rear wiper delete of eternal blue 2000
Before :

After :


While I was at the car I also decided to do some more things on the inside, One of the things I have been meaning to do for ages was start removing the sound deadening under the rear seats.... (Messy job..)


I also sprayed the wheel well with blue metallic paint not the best outcome but happy with the result.. :)



How the car is sitting now... Bumpers hanging off...



Happy with the interior at the moment but hope to get a genuine steering wheel soon like Nardi or Keys racing... But all in time..
 
Nice build so far! How did you go about painting the boot inside? remove much?

I just removed the sound deadining and used petrol to remove any left over stuff and went over it with 500grade sandpaper, Then I gave it two coats of primer and two top coats :nice:
