Was soo close to getting the rear splitter done at JAE with some black vinyl. but got side tracked with beer
I am going to get some prices for spraying this as opposed to wrap. hopefully paint will keep a nicely shine for longer as I have seen some vinyl fading after a while. Might.......MIGHT give this a go myself as its a small piece.
Lexusboy The badge can be in black plastic spray so really easy to do..
Hey Ian, what was the name of that plastic stuff we were talking about at JAE? will look into getting some to play with whilst waiting for Liquidart to complete their rear Lexus badge sets.
Hopefully on Octobers shopping list should the car should be getting a full set of wind deflectors, short aerial and darker badges :thumbup:

Plastikote spray paint. Perfect for badges. Just flat them a bit with 800 grit wet and dry to key them the spray them black

I've already spoken to Rob, he's creating a full rear set in chrome blue for me, best he could give was "sometime before Christmas" though...

Yep, Dave just beat me to it. was talking with them Sat night and they have a lot of other club stuff to get cracking with first.
But, by the time I get around to doing the wheels and rear splitter dark it will probably be Spring anyway! So I might just wait :whistling:

Quick update. I've finally got around to ordering a few bits. Arriving next week should be :
-A pair of fan washer jets from Lexus ( which handily come ready painted). Replacing these was a two fold reason.
1.because Rabster polished the car so much, only 1 of the 6 spray nozzles work
2.because Rabster polished the car so much, the paint was starting to wear out! Haha
A full set of window guards, ordered them eBay US after a tip from Jay. Much cheaper, and look far nicer than the UK sellers.
I'm sure I can manage to fit these myself, even with my **** mechanical knowledge hehe.

Matt are you getting any where with the parts for the boot install you were planing on changing?

Which window guards did you buy mate? Any links?

Dimis - I went for these ones in the end, cheap enough, even after delivery charges
