Made an impulse desicion today and decided to paint my mirror backs, once I got them off however I changed my mind and did this instead....

Not finished yet, still needs flatting back and laquering, hence the wavy look to the finish..

Not sure about that, mate. I once tried sticking mine to a Rington's tea box, what a disaster that turned out to be. Couldn't see a thing behind me

They look really cool!

**Tomcat** · Saturday 10th October 2009, 23:42

Lol, I actualy did just Laugh out loud, my daughters just looked at me like I have two heads. Don't think the Coffee jar will be a constant fixture.

Make sure you post some pics once you've finished the project. I've got some projectors on the way. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas day to arrive!!

Did this as well(albeit not today), still got the throttle cover to do yet though.

for years i've loved the carbon fibre mirror covers you can get in America, & now i ditch them for GP2 mirrors you decide to make moulds up

**Tomcat** · Sunday 11th October 2009, 01:42

Soz Duane, it's something I've only just considered doing.

Wow! That's pretty impressive. How long did that take?

**Tomcat** · Sunday 11th October 2009, 02:33

Did the actualy airbrushing in maybe four hours or so, it was the prepping of the actualy airbox that took the longest, I decided to shave the lettering off and then had to smooth the texturing off too, probably took me a full day, all add together. Just finished base coating the throttle body cover, just got to think of something to airbrush onto it now.

Yeah, sure I do....Let me know what you want doing.

You can judge my thoughts on these mirrors by the following...

How much for a set for mine? and when can you do them?

If you follow the link in my signature you will see some previous stuff I've done (spark plug covers included).

Hi, Them mirrors look excellent, are you planning on selling them because i'll definitely have a set off you.

Cheers, Rob

This might be a useful sideline... alongside the front splitters!

What about an evo-style toothed rear high-level diffuser for the saloons, or a low-level rear diffuser, or... anything that's cool and helps the aero on the bricks that we drive!!!

And the airbrushing is fantastic. If my engine bay didn't look sh*t I'd bother you for some work. Maybe on the S2000....!
