Only thing I needed to add was NSX-R type hex bolts as the ones Andrew had received were silver an wouldnt look right.

Youll notice in the above pics the two different speedo fascias, basically while Andrew was on his US journey, he picked up a set of chrome/billet gauge rings.
Anyway these just didnt look right [to me] on the already bright silver fascia, there just seemed to be a bit too much going on lol
So decided to try/test the black plasti dip to give new a appearance as I knew black would make the rings stand out better.

She scrubs up well interior wise now ... LOL!
honestly mate you have done a great job ... Defo the horn button makes a difference and an interesting take on the black with the rings in the cluster ... Looks very well I think ... The rings give it that retro look.
the whole interior has been completely lifted now very pleased with the results too ... It looks great in the pics, but then it would need to with the investment made in there - time and money
BTW, you goin mad on that plasti-dip stuff?
will 'red' be black the next time I make it up?! ; )
Many thanks!Quote:

But trust me, the silver fascia with chrome duals looked terrible, doesn't work right a d didn't blend right. So I remembered my M5 speedo and recalled it worked well because the fascia was black, but dials were grey and the rings were a matt/titanium look.

Just had one can of pasti dip, so may as well use the stuff and test the longevity, it will be fine on the fascia as it can't be touched or marked, still not sure if it will last on the wipers but they are on my car now so will be tested. I do like the finish it leaves though, nice texture and can only properly be seen in the flesh.
Cheeky git!
the odd comment from you did not go a miss either; and yes your car does encourage me to spend on items like these

im shocked and appalled ... My credibility as a *** hater has taken a huge dent! LOL
BTW my phone has zero charge in it today ...
it looks really good sudesh. much better than the bright silver fascia, as the silver rings make the gauges stand out and when you look
at the dash together with the interior, it all goes together very well : )
you've done a very good job on andrew's car, it looks surperb!
that plasti dip looks great stuff. you can try it on the alloys next lol ; )
can you get it in chrome? would love to do up my rx8 alloys in chrome.
