5 Years as a Daily Driver and My NSX needed some TLC

More pictures added below.....

With my son's wedding fast approaching, I wanted my NSX to look its best.
Five years as a daily driver in all weathers had certainly taken its toll and it was starting to look tatty.
The main issue was that the lacquer was starting to peel in places, particularly on and around the door handles and the rear bumper. I can only assume this was due to poor prep when it had had previous work done before I owned the car. There were also a lot of swirl marks in the paint which also required attention.
The other thing that really let the car down was the wheels. Unfortunately they are after market but I don't currently have the budget to replace them so for now, I decided that a refurb in gloss black was in order.

What error message are you getting?
I think you can only load 4 pictures per post but I see you are not a Platinum member so I'm not sure if that will limit you further (like the stored PM limit)....

Not getting any error message, just doesn't load the image.
I Need to pay my subs. Can anyone confirm this is the issue.

as far as i know the subs extend your PM inbox and perhaps the number of pics you can host on this site. (i see that you are adding the pics as attachments, so they are hosted on this site)

as for pics in the posts, there is a limit of 4 non-text things, like pictures and emoticon smiley faces!

if you put your pictures on imagecave, or photobucket (or such like) you should be able to link to them in the thread using the [ img ] method! but you will still only get 4 per post!

Do you mean per post or per thread.
I thought I would be able to add 4 pics at a time to each response but it aint working.
Shame, I wanted to share this small resurrection with you as I am pretty pleased with it.
